I had a wonderful w/e with some friends at the cabin. The cabin's first party so to speak. There was good food from the garden, swimming, dancing, candle lights and a bonfire. We lucked out with an eerily calm day and night despite the rain and wind weather warnings. During the day I had many approach me and ask why not live permanently at the cabin?...It's off the grid, secluded and away from the impending wind turbines. The idea has certainly crossed our minds. I could give up my big old drafty farmhouse even though I do see its potential in every corner, we just don't have the means to renovate any time soon. The cabin is small and efficient and for this gal, it would be a welcome warmth from the clothing layers I tend to wear for half of the year inside my house.
Hmmm lets make a pro/con list shall we?
Pros to living at the cabin
Living amongst the trees
Living on the water
Efficiency - I would be toasty warm without much output
Small living quarters so easy and fast to clean and also renovating projects don't seem to insurmountable b/c of its size
Living off the grid!!!
No neighbours
Cons to living at the cabin
Very secluded on a private island could = loneliness
Would need a boat that could transport on the ice if lake freezes
Longer commute to the city
No neighbours
A 90 acre island could recreationally get a bit dull quickly, ie. no long bike rides or walks
Will I leave one island for another? Perhaps. I'll keep you posted.
Enjoy the day friends.
