Thank you. That's a good idea about collecting scrap wood, never throw anything out it might be usable or burnable. LOL

I've been experimenting with going off parts of the grid one at a time to see what it would be like. I am impressed that you did what you did for 9 days and survived! You were unplugged from almost everything. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm rather cautious and this was a big step for us, but if you don't try you will never know. following you now.
