She was a sweet, beautiful woman, sending healing to her family.

Especially in the kitchen. Very careful about that.

Right, but I also would need a contactor and permit to install a smokestack and stove, or any significant household system. But yes, factor in the installation cost. Check out …

When I said installation I was referring to having a licensed contractor to do it. Not everyone is handy with tools. Pretty sure you also need a permit to install …

Agree. Temperate rainforests are pretty hard to beat. If you don’t mind the rain. Which I don’t.

I used any, and I mean any way I could reach a possible buyer. Sometimes they didn’t even know they were buyers

One of things I love about this place is that it never gets cold enough to need a fire, just as it never gets hot enough for AC. We cut …
