      And solar panels and a big battery for electricity. And a good sceptic system so i don’t have to crap in a hole in the ground outdoors 500 feet away from my house. And a good general store in easy driving distance. And a powerful 4x4 vehicle that can get down to the main road even when the giant driveway path is very muddy or covered in 5 feet of snow. And a decent medical facility not too far away so when a health problem arises i don’t lose a limb that could’ve been saved. And a post office not too far away so i can get packages delivered.

          Solution is to settle in the tropics. No winters and you will smell all year round, all other smells will be masked.

              If I put my septic tank on an adjacent property and also hook up my shed/barn to it (in addition to the cabin), can I call it a sewer system then?

        That roof looks very modern though. I don’t think there’s any more of a risk of water incursion from the roof than any other house
