Solidly biased take. Did you even read my whole post? I clearly stated I'm working towards a larger passive house which is nowhere near living in 1822 and for that matter, neither is my current cabin. Also clearly stated it's not for everyone. But in the end I won't be paying a $1000+/month mortgage because I put in the work earlier on and I don't have to suffer everytime the power flickers.

Admirable my man. I can't wait to hear what you've made for yourself in a few years or a decade from now.

I own a home in Denver Colorado and have been working remotely from my folks place in harpswell. My folks are well off and have a home generator. They don't even stop using the dryer or hot tub. It's ludicrous but it's a real reminder how different it is here to Colorado.

Harpswell didn't have power for days. The comfort of the grid always supplying life is different in these winters.
