Thanks gnu.

The family has our parent's former cottage/retirement home which we completely shut down for the winter. Spent overnight there a couple of nights ago because we need to check on the place regularly, and for emotional reasons (we LOVE the place). No water other than what we can get from the lake and streams, no sewage so we "go" outside, there is hydro but no phone or internet in the offseason, and the wood stove does wonders. When there isn't power there is heat from the wood stove, light from candles, easy water source...it's safer and more comfortable than living in town without an alternate water source, and no wood stove. We're too far from nature I believe.

Peace, Mooh.
