I’m curious if anyone came to homesteading from a traditional career. How did you start? How much did land cost you? What are your monthly costs and do you have an income that can sustain them?

    i haven’t started but my grandpa told me about making a fridge without electricity, like houses here used to have before electricity & cars came during the middle of the 1900-hundreds.

    the concept is a large pipe going between the fridge-room, deeper below the ground and out several meters away from it, then up into the air in a stand-alone chimney. insect-nets on both sides of the pipe.

    concept is: when the air is hot the earth deeper below cool. air that travels through the pipe turns cool and flows into the space.
