Bug-out Home Build and Solar power?

[jeepinmatt]

Thanks for the links.

I will study more on the solar option. I know I would need sunlight and removing trees for my home, building, garden...would open up some areas but not sure if it would be enough. I did not purchase property fully wooded just to cut it all down. I'm looking for privacy and even considering camo roofingThe main reason I started looking at solar was because I don't like the idea of a power line swath cut through the property.
I'll study each item in my list of concerns Water,power,heat/AC and home construction intensely before making a decision. I'm the type that figures if someone else can do it then so can I. Or at least I can learn enough about a subject to watch you and make sure you aren't cutting corners or screwing up the project. I've learned over the years that most people just don't care about character or quality.

They ran my power underground, straight down the driveway.

This type of thinking can get you into lots of trouble, to be honest.
You watch someone and miss one small detail, or you don't know why they selected the exact material they did. Then you use an alternate material that requires a different technique, only you dont know better...

Plus most folks I know, especially tradesmen, dont like being brow beaten or having someone stand over their shoulders. If you eagle eye me to make sure I wasn't cutting corners, there is a good chance I'd start seeing how much you knew

Ive learned that most true professionals are very concerned with character and quality. And as a consequence most arent the cheapest at the job either. When you hire low cost you get what you pay for.
