What exactly did you accomplish this year except moving. Twice? Look around you Troy, virtually nothing is done. Not to mention poor preparation (i.e. no firewood) and planning (i.e. garden). You wasted your summer working on your stupid Bedini motor "experimenting" instead of having firewood ready. You did not insulate your sheds. You did not insulate your chicken coop. You did not have solar hooked up. You did not finish your greenhouses. You did not compost. Frankly, you did not do much of anything that would qualify as homesteading. Sitting on your ass all day on SteemIt is not "working." Sorry.
