Needed now and next decade: Electricians, roofers, plumbers

[MADem]

70. We've been here for generations, so we're fine with it.

It's rather well built so I only have to rarely deal with "the authorities" when I need to make an improvement, but, like I said, when I do, it's a process!

It's a great big pile of rock so it's cool in summer and when it finally heats up in winter it can be cozy enough if you don't try living like a lord in the whole thing unnecessarily. It's also convenient to civilization, airports, other family, etc., and so full of "treasures" (i.e. family crap) from time gone by that to move would be way too much of a chore!

The best part of it, though, is that it's big enough so that if any family chickens need to come home to roost, there's a place for them--and that happens every now and again. We can (and often do) have several generations under the roof and they don't kill each other--and even though the yard/garden is quite small, it's pretty cheap to have someone come and mow it (or if I get ambitious, I could almost do it with a weed whacker-LOL).
