"sad story about living off grid"

The first 2 1/2 years were the saddest; that's how long it took before we had a house to move into. You've no idea how miserable winter is when your bedroom is a tent; your bedding is consistently damp, and the canvas was frozen solid every morning.

It gives you a whole other perspective on what constitutes comfortable living!

Funniest thing ever said to me by a real estate agent: Well, can you see yourself living here?
My reply: Check with her. I'm happy if it's better than a tent!
