How Do Folks

Post: # 205259Post trikerdrew »

I'm a newbie. :oops:

I'm Drew and my better half is Rain. :wave:

Looking into moving to Scotland to do the off grid /self sufficiency thing later this year.

Reliable information will be the difference between eating and not. That excites me and terrifies me in equal measures.

I'm practical with a strong mechanical bent. Weld,paint,fab and fix engines. Wife is brill with animals and a never ending supply of inspiration with her can do attitude.

Look forward to chatting with you all on the boards

regards

Drew and Rain

Hello, welcome to 'ish.

Between you it sounds like you have all of the skills to make it work - and even if not, you are allowed to cheat a little to avoid starvation - hence the -ish!

Good luck with it all and keep us all posted.

Hi and welcome to Ish :wave:

We've managed the moving to Scotland bit thus far, working on the rest!

Any thoughts as to whereabouts in Scotland?

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
