What a phenomenal write up, thanks for all the info. I do have a few questions if you don't mind.
1. Why no treated lumber its just a copper based pesticide that shouldn't leach out like the old arsenic and copper sulfide treatments did.
2 Why not us a wheeler or get yourself a pack animal of some sort eventually you will be too worn down to haul cords of wood out of the valleys.
3 Our deer around here have been known to jump over 6' fences just harvest them and donate the meat to the homeless if you dont want to eat it. I guess that is more of a suggestion than a question.
4 Did you do any passive heating and cooling improvements to your home while you were remodeling it?
5 Did you think about moving to a more temperate area with a longer growing season and less need for heat?
That's it for now, I would love to move to my property and do this to an extent but home values have me locked into this house that was going to be a 5 year flip 9 years ago.
Thanks again and I look forward to your answers.
