And the land is pretty cheap! But, costs anywhere in the mountains _do_ increase even the shittiest of goods, including labor, which is why it's as much DIY as I can. Living out here means monthly trips to larger cities to visit friend

As of this month, the cabin has become my permanent residence while I build the house throughout the rest of the fall/winter/spring. I actually have neighbors...sort of. There is a permanent resident of _extremely_ poor individual

I'm currently on a simple compost system; not such a big fan of septic. I dislike the current compost systems that are out there for under $5,000 - the toilets all are so flimsy. So, I've been designing one that uses a no-flush, w

The finite numbers I have are thus: Land: I purchased 5 acres for $2,000 of Craigslist. It's worth about 5-6 getting it from a real-estate company. Slab: 4" deep, 8" deep around a 1' perimeter..1100 sq ft total - 18 yard

I once rented out a garage space, pitched a tent inside, and parked my Jeep in there. Ah, the early days of a programming career in a new city :)

But you're renting, right? Isn't part of the point not to be wasting capital on rent? (I'm a CO man myself)

Not true! I purchased 5 acres in Southwestern CO (with mountain views!) for 2 grand in cash. I built a small cabin, and program out of it. But, it lacks luxuries for my many "projects", so now I'm building a house. http:&#x2
