Comment: You, brigitfey, are a role

You, brigitfey, are a role model for me.

The things you've done are the things I dream of doing, but have not yet committed to do...

How is the off-grid home holding up? How does it sustain? And more curiously, how do you have an off-grid home in an area that has a propery-owner's association? Seems almost contradictory in terms... :-)

As far as the dome, do you have any help with respect to growing things? Or were you brought up in a farming tradition? Me, I have absolutely zero knowledge in that realm, but it's one in which I aspire to learn most, so I'm curious as to how you came to the decision to invest in something like that with an inheritance (which for most is an extremely bold move).
