You are 100% right. I’ve been living on a farm as a weekender for 7 years and only full time for coming on two years. I still need to develop my network.
I have been using my time to learn how to maintain the things I own and now I repair all my buildings myself, do light plumbing and electrical, maintain my vehicles and other machines.
Today I am going to try out the stick welder I traded a neighbour for a ride on mower.
This summer I plan to build a raised garden with barrier protection from coyotes, deer and other competitors for my lettuce!
