- swader999 6y agoLiving rural, on grid on an acreage and I'm still amazed at how much work it is. Some of it is self inflicted. Redoing my footer drains by hand, building a cistern for extra water storage, land scaping, finish a basement, gardening, tuning teleposts, bobcat, mini excavator, snow fencing to reduce plowing, tree planting and protecting, fencing, too many maintenance and repair tasks to list. There's always another project waiting...
- ryandrake 6y agoOP might want to go live somewhere sufficiently rural but partially on-grid to try it out and see if it's for him. I'd suggest something with at least access through a gravel road, traditional electric provider, but with off-grid well and septic might be a good start. When you're at the point where you don't need to call anyone to do something for you, then maybe you're ready to live full time off grid.
