Well, it's a long story but my wife's family farm is two miles from here. Hopefully this doesn't make the jealousy worse, but it's actually 3 large lots; the north-most one has an old United Church on it. Several generations of her family were baptized there, etc. In 1999 the town wanted someone to take it over, and she offered to.
It's all "free as in puppies" though. The church needs a new roof this year (ahem, maybe more like 10 years ago...) and that's going to cost about $25k. It's a beautiful building though, and we have aspirations to modernize it somewhat (more insulation, natural-gas-fired forced air heating, water...).
Starlink honestly will help with all of that effort though. Right now our primary house is about an hour away in a city, and it was a pretty big hassle to come out here to work on things for an evening/weekend. I can generally work remote though, so I can just come out here for a week, put in my work hours and then pick away at things in the mornings/evenings.
