>>2374137>But there is a normal power hookup like anywhere else, but the problem is that it'll go out during hurricanes/storms from trees taking out the lines and the crews taking a while to get to itSo how are you getting water pressure for the shower, are you hooked up to a conventional municipal water system or do you have a well powered by an electric pump?
Seems to me you're trying to hard to be "off the grid" when you don't need to be. If you don't want to use electricity, then pull the main fuse in the breaker box and pretend you're living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland but why not utilize that barn/apartment to enjoy the rural countryside and still be comfy?
