going to use for one or two years until our EPA authorities get the new whole area sewer system in that has been planned for us. Then we like everyone around us will hook up to that system. It is going to cost a bit to hook up but it will be worth it. As for plumbing inside the house we are going to do that over into a modern system - one with a shower.

We are also going to do the wiring over with energy efficient fixtures. I have been given a apartment size refrigerator and cooking range and microwave so some of that is not so efficient. Fortunately the cabin is setting so that the back with no windows is facing north and the windows on the front. So I will have passive solar from the south.

It is a two room cabin right now without the bath. But I was born in a two room house and I will die in a two room house to I guess the space is just fine. At least this one has the modern conveniences.

Congratulations, my dear jwirr! CaliforniaPeggy May 2016 #1
