"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." ~ Henry David Thoreau
my wee homestead
Lindornea* is where I live, among the oaks, on a hillside tucked away in privacy. I live in a school bus (yes, a school bus!) without electricity, very low tech, and I am enjoying every minute of it.
My goals:
1) Have a home that I have "built" myself.
2) Live off-grid & very low tech
3) To live self sustaining and green
4) To keep things simple so I can maintain things myself
5) Have as few bills as possible.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams."
"Live the life you have imagined."
~Henry David Thoreau
This site is not only a journal of this wonderful journey of making my dreams come true, but a place to share information. I have every intention of sharing everything I have come across in my years of researching how to make my dreams come true here at this site. This blog is just in its infancy. I do hope you stop by again and check things out! I plan on moving my extensive files to the internet so that I always have access to them and to share them. I promise that there will be something for everyone here on how to get by in this world.
Why a school bus?
Where else can a person with limited skills get a solid roof, walls, and floor for $1200 (or less if you have the time to look). I am able to put in a wood stove so I can heat my space and cook. I can customize the bus to my own needs/wants (basically it is a blank canvas!). And if at any time I need to move my homestead I can do it in a matter of hours. I realize that no matter what it will always be a bus, but my want to be on this little spot of the world is so much more than anyone can imagine.
I am willing to make the sacrifices to live here because this is the dream of my heart.
Peace and Love,
Lindy

qwithyd wrote on Nov 4, '08 I love Multiply. I really do. I was on yahoo 360 for a long time and made some nice e-friends. But now it's so screwed up over there that I do the majority of my posting and visiting here. It's such a nice community, don't you think? |
