Off-Grid Homesteading

The Homestead

In January of 2017, we purchased a piece of property with 10 acres, near Show Low Arizona (Elevation 6,100 ft). To begin with, the land was just "blank land", and so it was not connected to the grid; and we just never did connect to the grid. By the time we sold it in July of 2023, it had: Well, Septic, Solar Power, Fencing (4-Strand Barbed Wire) all the way around, Log Cabin, Goat & Sheep Pens, Hay Shed with Milking Station, Chicken Coops, 1/3 Acre Garden, Out Building: Utility Kitchen, Out Building: Pump House (with laundry room and guest bathrooms), Fire Pit Gathering Area & RV Hookup Spots. It also had: 300ft long Zipline, Gaga Ball Pit, Shooting Range, Knife Throwing Range, 22ft tall Repelling Station, Cross Fit Station (with Salmon Ladder & Extreme Peg Board), & Large Camp Fire Pit.   What an Adventure!

This pic shows the property, looking northward. In the distance, you can see the local lake (White Mountain Lake) only a mile down the road.

Here is the property looking southward. The property is relatively flat, lined with Junipers. The Junipers are basically bushes, but they can grow up to 25 ft tall. The land was very rocky, covered with volcanic rocks.  Over in the distance (about 10 miles away), those mountains are covered with large Ponderosa Pines (part of the Forest that stretches from here, all the way to the Grand Canyon)

This is the front gate, 15 ft wide.

The Log Cabin

This is the 1,960 square foot 2-Story Log Cabin. It had 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large open-concept area for the Kitchen, Dining Room, & Living Room. 

Shout out to our sons Taylor, Nathan, & Wesley, who worked hand-in-hand with Joel the Log Cabin Builder to get this home built. They spent many months with intensive effort and manual labor to peel, shape, & notch the logs. They assisted with installing the roof joists and metal roofing, & they did most of the interior wall framing. They installed all the casement windows, and installed all of the siding. We are so proud of them, and the work they accomplished. This was an amazing project.

The foundation of the Log Cabin is 40ft x 28ft. The second story covers 3/4 of the house, leaving a vaulted ceiling over the living room area.

The Garden

For the Homestead Garden, we ended up fencing in a large section, to make a 1/3 acre rabbit free zone for growing produce. Below is an arial pic of the Garden Space. At top, you see the Water Tank (providing a gravity feed water system). Near that, is the hoop house (with shade from the sun). At the bottom, we made space for 20 trees. We only got as far as one row with five trees (as we had trouble keeping blossoms on the trees).

So, growing things here at 6,1000 ft elevation, was quite difficult: Bad Soil, Intense Sun, High Winds (blowing off blossoms), Short Growing Season (there was always a freeze in May and again in October), No Pollinators (these are bugs/bees that pollinate the plants). For pollination, we had to get into raising bees, which is much more labor intensive than you might think. You can see the bee hives, inside the garden fence, at the bottom of the space.

Here is a closer look at the entrance to the Garden. We had the hoop house right there to shade plants. We also utilized the spaces under the juniper trees, as that is also where the shade was. To the right, we had a work station under the big Juniper. 

Here you can see the shading we did over the hoop house. This helped block the sun. The sun was intense here in Arizona at 6,100 ft elevation, and it would burn the plants if left in the sun for the full day, everyday... so we had to find ways to give them half day sun.

Of course, on the other side of the things, was the freeze. Hard to grow plants under snow. Our shade structure helped keep the snow off of some plants, as we attempted to have some winter gardening.

But, through all of the difficulties, we did manage to finally get some things growing. 

And some plants loved the environment so much, they wanted to take over.

These are some "Walking Onions" which grow shoots under ground that then spawn new onion plants. They will take over what ever space you give them.

These are some strawberries, in the shade of the big juniper. They loved this spot.

Here you can see the end result of the Gravity Feed Watering System, which functions differently than a Pressure Watering System. With a pressure system (like we are all used to), you need to reduce the size of the pipe as it goes along, to increase and push along the pressure to the plants. But with a gravity system, you need to keep the pipe as big as possible all the way to the plants, and then reduce size right at the plants... because if you reduce the pipe size early, there will be no pressure at the end. In this pic, you will see that we brought the 2 in pipe all the way to the plants. To water the plants we laid 3/4 in pipe along the base of the plants, with little holes drilled every foot or so. Through trial and error, we learned that this method really works well. - - Also, at the bottom of this pic, you can see the bucket with rocks that gets filled with water. This is for the Bees, as they needed to have water source nearby. The rocks gives the Bees a way to land and walk down to the still water.

Here is a 2,500 gallon Water Tank that served our Gravity Feed Watering System. In the early years, when we had to haul water, this tank was filled from the Delivery Truck. Later, once we had a well, this tank was filled by brining water from the well. You can see the the outlet was a 2in pipe, and as mentioned above, we kept it at 2in all the way to the plants.

Here is Taylor showing off a bunch our our produce.

Here is some more garden hauls.

And to wrap up the Garden Section, here is a close up of our Bee Hives, and the entrance to the hive. We had two of these, one each corner at the back of the fenced garden area. Also, we had to supplement with both sugar water, as well as regular water. The strap over the top is because sometimes the wind is too much and can knock the hive over. 

The Chickens

Every Homestead needs chickens, right? We stared out with only a few, which became a dozen, which then became four dozen. 

You can have about 1 rooster per every 12 hens or so. 

While we did have a fenced in run for the chickens, along with a safe coop for them to sleep in & lay eggs; We also would let them Free Range on the property during the day. The roosters were amazing. They each would have  a group of hens that they led around, moving from under one tree to under the next. If any bird flew over, the roster would give a signal (a "growl") and all the hens would leap towards the safety of the low branches on the junipers. Then, at dusk all chickens return to the coop.

Here is the entrance to the Chicken Run. Nathan designed a space that kept all of the tools and chicken feed out of the rain, and yet handy to coop. He even added a solar powered light for when we needed to be in this space at dark. Nice Job!

Here is the watering system for the Chicken Run. We would catch any rain water and funnel it into these two connected barrels. If needed, we would run water over to fill them up. - - Also, notice the outside of the Chicken Coop. Those hatches are the access to the egg boxes. We designed the Coop this way, so that we did not need to go inside the sloppy run area to retrieve the eggs. 

From the water barrels, a pipe was run over to this space, where it supplied water to the "Chicken Nipples", which require the chickens to press the trigger to receive water. This did take some training, and most of our chickens still preferred to drink out of a bucket. - - We also had our feed bucket hanging from this structure, which served to keep the feed dry from any rains. - - At the top of this structure, we had a "Chicken Nursery". This is were we would put a Momma Chicken to hatch and raise her chicks in peace (if left in the main Chicken Run, the other hens will peck the chicks). Then, once she has raised them to the teenagers, they are all put back with the main group.

Here is a look at the back of the run. We used the juniper trees to support our fencing, and to provide shade for the birds. To prevent walking predators from digging under, the fencing also went a foot below ground level. Then, that hole was filled with rocks. To prevent flying predators from coming in the top, we installed bird netting. We put it a 6.5 feet so that we could easily walk around inside the run. The coop was built super sturdy to prevent "break-ins". This was the Fort Knox of Chick Coops.

There are a few reasons for raising chickens: (1) they are fun to watch; (2) they eat all of your kitchen scraps so you do not have as much trash, (3) they can be harvested for meat, & (4) Fresh EGGS!  The eggs come in many colors, depending on the type of hens you have. 

ALSO, in addition to chickens, we had Quail. Wesley decided that we should do this. He designed and built this whole setup, which is located on the side of the Chicken Run. On the outside, you can see the watering system with the blue barrel. On the inside, the first space through the door is a type "Foyer" area where he kept the food, wood chips, and necessary tools. Then beyond that, he created 4 separate Quail Runs, each with their own little Quail Coop attached. Well Done, Wesley.

The Sheep & Goats

As we wandered into the raising of livestock, we started with Sheep. Specifically, we bought some Dairy Sheep (East Frisian), because of their rich milk (15% fat in the milk); and because they are high producers of milk (2 gallons, twice a day). From this milk, we made a bunch of products: Cheese (feta), Carmel, Ice-cream, etc. Most often though, we just used the milk in everything. As the flock grew, we prepared to sell some of them, as they can fetch top dollar in some states. Unfortunately, in the area we were in, Dairy Sheep are not highly prized, as most folks just wanted to buy them only for their meat and not for their milk. So, we moved away from the Sheep, and into Goats. Goats provided a nice balance between meat and milk.

Here is a look at one of the goats. As the flock grew, we had 6-8 goat mommas. Taylor took the lead in managing the herds. He was amazing with the animals. 

Here is a look at a couple of the sheep.  So cute!

Taylor had a way with the sheep and goats. He trained them to come to the milking stand one at a time.

Here is our Hay Barn. This shed housed up to 24 bales of hay in one half, while the other half had the milking stand, along with the livestock tools. Unfortunately, the land only grows sparse weeds, no grass for grazing. This means that we needed to feed the flock almost entirely on hay, making it a much more expensive endeavor. 

Here is a close up at one of the shelters we built. We always faced the opening to the north, away from our prevailing winds coming out of the south.

In addition to the fenced in pens, there was an outer-ring of fencing that enclosed all of the pens. Outside of that, we fenced in a bigger area (1/2 acre) for a bit of pasture (even though their wasn't much grass growing here. Then, as the flock grew, we needed to build more shelters, so we started housing some animals in the "pasture."

Here is our Border Collie, who lived inside the pasture fence. She loved to stand on top of her dog house. She was an amazing dog. She would herd the sheep and goats back into their pen after their milking was done. She would always alert us if their was a coyote lurking nearby.

Here is Wesley giving her a ride.

The Solar System

If you are not going to be receiving electricity from the public utility, then you need to find other means. For us, Solar Power made a lot of sense, to take advantage of the many days of sun found here is Arizona. We chose to put the Solar Panels on the roof, in order to keep the wires away from the critters that like to chew. Here you see 12 300w panels located on the roof of the Utility Kitchen. The building next door (Pump House) was designed to house another 24 panels in the future. 

All power from the solar panels ran into an add-on shed attached to the side of the kitchen building. This shed, accessed from the back of the building, housed all of the batteries and solar equipment.

Here is a closer look at the roof panels. What you are looking at is the original 6 panels we purchased. They were used, and were discounted by a third. Unfortunately, they only produced third of the power, because the glass was "crackelated". Lesson learned. We had checked them for voltage before buying and the voltage meter read correctly. But, they did not have the amps needed to produce the correct amount wattage. Not every discount is worth it.  :)   So, we swapped these out for the 12 real panels you see in the first picture.

Here is a look inside the batter box. This is a 48-Volt system, using 8 6-Volt batteries, that were golf cart batteries. These lead acid batteries required regular maintenance and refilling of water. - - Later, we upgraded to Lithium batteries, with 3 48-Volt batteries hooked together. This greatly increased our amp hour capacity. Turns out, in a Solar Electrical system, it is the batteries that can make or break you. 

Here is a look at the Inverter (white) mounted on the wall. Also, on the right, we have the Charge Controller (black). So, the DC electrical power comes from the panels to the Charge Controller, which charges the DC Batteries. From the batteries, the power goes to the Inverter to be changed into AC, so we can have power to run the electrical outlets.

The Pump House

This project was lot of fun. The boys helped design the layout for both form and function. Early on in the homestead years, we installed the 2,500 gallon water storage tank (black) that you see here. Then for several years,  we used simply a hose and a little RV pump (sitting outside next to the tank) to give us a little bit of water pressure in that little Utility Kitchen we had built. BUT, this building changed all of that. - - Now, the water comes from the well pump (located at the bottom of the well) which fills up the 2,500 gallon Storage Tank. Then, from the storage tank, water runs into this building where a Jet Pump pushes water into the 119 gallon Pressure Tank. That Pressure Tank then supplies high pressure water to all buildings and all hose bibs.

Here is a look at the right side of the building. This is where we stored the portable propane tanks to supply the Water Heater, Air Heater, & Dryer. In this pic, you see two doors. Those are the two restrooms. 

Each restroom was an efficient 6ft x 6ft, with Toilet, Shower, and a corner sink. Shoutout to Nathan who took on the job of tiling.  

Here is the back side of the pump house. That window is in the Laundry Room. Also note, the pitch of the roof that was designed to house additional storage panels in the future.

Here is the left side of the Pump House, with the entrance door. 

Here is a look at the Laundry Room: Washer, Dryer, Utility Sink. At the back, is where the heavy duty storage was to be built.

Adjacent to the Laundry room, was this space for the 119 gallon Pressure Tank, powered by the Jet Pump anchored to the floor next to it. - - Also in this space, is the access to the upper loft where we could store items that needed to not Freeze during the winter.

Here is a backside view of the 2,500 gallon Water Storage Tank that feeds the Pressure Tank inside the Pump House.

Inside this brown box, is the location for the top of the well, that feeds the 2,500 gallon Storage Tank. Shoutout to Wesley for building this insulated Cover Box. The well required a 485 deep hole, drilled through volcanic rock. The well pump is located at the bottom of this well.

The Homestead Fun

As long as we are building stuff, we might as well build some FUN stuff. 

ZIPLINE - - On this tower, we installed a 300 foot long Zipline. If you look carefully you can see the Zipline heading off towards the front gate.

LOOKOUT TOWER & RAPPELLING STATION - - In this pic, we see the Look Out Tower (22 ft up) that gave us a 360 degree view of the horizon, over the top of the junipers. You have to use a series of ladders to reach the top, and then there is pole to slide down. There is also a Rappelling Station where you can practice both the Standard Rappel (walking down the wall) and the Hanging Rappel (free hang from the beam sticking out the other side). The Zipline mentioned above, starts here from the top of the Lookout Tower.

GAGA BALL PIT - - Here we see the Gaga Ball Pit, we installed next to the Cross Fit Tree and the Shooting Range. If you do not know what Gaga Ball is, you really should look it up. It is a ton of fun.

CROSSFIT TREE - - Here we see Cross Fit Tree with: a Salmon Ladder, the boy's Extreme Peg Board, & so much more.

SHOOTING RANGE & KNIFE THROWING RANGE - - In this pic, we see the Cross Fit Tree in the foreground, and then the Knife Throwing Target Wall beyond. We also see the table, which is the standing point for the Shooting Range for Arrows or Pellet Guns. The target was a bunch of stacked Hay Bales located downrange.

TIRE SWING - - This the tire swing seat, located near the Utility Kitchen and Fire Pit area.

COUNTRY SHOOTING RANGE - - Our property had too many neighbors and streets nearby. So, to do some real Sport Shooting, we would go down the road a bit where there is no one but a mound to place our targets on. Always practice proper gun safety.

HIKING THE TRAILS & CANYONS - - Also nearby, were many creeks, canyons, and trails. We could always find time for a hike.

THE LAKE - - Also nearby, just a mile down the road, is the 260 acre White Mountain Lake. This recreation area has: boat ramp, boat dock, fishing dock, picnic area, & a sandy beach.

The lake also has a floating platform out from the beach area. Here, the boys are playing their favorite game: "Knock Off".

This lake also provides the most amazing sunsets and sunrises.

Some Other Projects

As we wrap this up, we need to mention a few of the many miscellaneous, but noteworthy, projects that happened on the Homestead.

RV PARKING SPOTS - - Here are the RV Parking Spots that we created. Each had hookups for Septic, Water, and Electricity. In total, we created three spots, with the ability to create more, if needed.  

SEATRAINS / CONEX BOXES - - Here are the SeaTrains (or Conex Boxes) that we used for storage, because they were water proof and would keep out rats & mice. Each box was 40 ft long. We positioned them at 15 ft apart with the idea of covering the space in the middle with some sort of roof, to create more work area that was out of the weather. At the front of the Righthand Box, we had a Workshop with the workbench and all of the power tools. Needless to say, we spent many hours working in and around these two SeaTrains.

ASPEN ROOM - - Here is what we called the Aspen Room, as it was made with Aspen Logs. We had collected a bunch old garage doors. Most of them went to make the Hay Shed. When Nathan saw that we had one garage door left over, he decided to make something of it. The idea here was to build a picnic table to put under the shade. 

HIDE TANNING - - Here is Nathan getting into his Hide Tanning project.

To have a place to do the scraping, Nathan fashioned this post.

Here are the Homesteaders, all cleaned up.

THE FARM TRUCK - - Here is our Farm Truck, a 1973 Ford F150. At one point, it needed a newer transmission. That project took us a "minute" to figure out and accomplish.

MARKET: JAMS - - Here are some Jams we made. Some we ate ourselves, others we sold to the public. Showing here is Kiwi, Prickly Pear, & Apple Butter.

MARKET: EGGS & MILK - - We also sold at Market, a bunch of eggs. At some point we had over 40 chickens laying eggs. If we were not able to sell eggs to the public, we had to start making more egg type dishes for meals.  :)   In addition to eggs, we also sold the Goat Milk (along with caramel and cheese) to the public.

MARKET: FURNITURE - - They boys got into making some furniture out of the trees and wood we had on the property, to sell to the public at market. Here is an end table.

MARKET: PRODUCE - - When our garden overflowed, some of that produce was also sold to the public.

WALL TENT - - Here is Taylor's Wall Tent with wood stove.

THE TEEPEE - - Here is Nathan's Teepee. 18 feet in diameter at the base. He built an amazing interior out of wood: queen bed, desk, dresser, etc. (with many hidden compartments).

The Teepee sits on a sand base, and then the canvas goes over the poles once everything is in place.

Also nearby, Nathan built himself a "garage" for his four-wheeler.

THE POTTY BUILDING - - We should also mention the Potty Building. In our early years, before the Pump House (with flushing restrooms) was built. The only restroom was in the RV. But sometimes, one restroom just isn't enough with five people. So we built this 8ft by 8ft "thing".

Inside the Potty Building was the composting "toilet". A bucket (with a toilet seat lid) starts with some sawdust at the bottom. Then you do your business, and cover that up with sawdust. When full, these buckets get dumped into a composting bin to eventually turn into dirt. Those composting bins should be located far away, and that "Compost" is NEVER to be used in the garden. 

This is building also had an enclosed space for a "Camping Shower" which utilizes a Camp Shower bag for gravity water. It is best when the bag is allowed to be in the sun to warm up first. Sometimes the bag method is too tedious, and not enough water flow. In those moments, we take a bucket shower, which is: (1) Fill a bucket with hot water, (2) have a big cup that scoops up the water, & (3) dump it on your body. With a big enough cup, this method works pretty well.

Construction of Log Cabin

So far, we have shown the Homestead Buildings in their completed state. What's missing, is all the work that leads up to completing a Building. Taylor, Nathan, & Wesley poured their full effort into building up this Homestead. They were able to learn new skills, and hone their building methods. We are so proud of the men they have become.

Here is the blocks that are going to be built up on the cement foundation (3 foot deep) that has already poured. The blocks will support the floor of the cabin, giving us a crawl space underneath.

Once they paneled the floor, on top of the joists, they could utilize the clean flat surface to build up the side walls that will sit on top of the logs. Here is Wesley, Nathan, & Taylor working with Joel (The Log Cabin Builder).

Taking a moment to ponder the next steps.

Here is Taylor doing his thing on top of the Log Wall they were installing.

Here is how the Log Wall gets installed. The crane moves them from the truck to the building. Previously, these Logs were Peeled, Shaped, & Notched at the Log Company's site up in Utah. Nathan and Taylor spent several months up there working on these Logs.

This Log Staircase is amazing, and became the focal point inside the Cabin.

Here we see those side walls, that were put together when there was only a floor, now installed to support the main room Log Beam. That beam is 48 ft long, sticking out 4 feet on each end. It weighs about 2 tons.

Next, the roof rafters go on.

On side done, as Nathan inspects.

Here, they just finished putting the metal roof on... As Nathan inspects and enjoys the view.

Here is the view Nathan was enjoying from the top of the roof.

Here is a crew working on the siding. Shoutout to Steven M for his help.

The boys did most of the interior wall framing.

Taylor is getting it done.

Nathan is getting it done.

Here is a look at the inside of the roof. This is before the metal roof was put on.

Downstairs Framing.

Here is a look at the inside wall with a little bit of furniture for reference.

And, here is the finished product. What an amazing project.

Construction of Pump House

Here is a couple of pictures showing the stages of the pump house. This is the floor layout, after we put this out-building on pillars.

Pump House side walls going up.

Pump house roof getting done.

And the finished product.

Construction of Utility Kitchen

The Utility Kitchen was one of our first projects. We did not "design" it necessarily, as it was originally a shed on someone's property, that they paid us to haul away. They had taken it apart, but each wall was still intact. So, we reassembled it (of, course). Here, we have the pillars in place to serve as a foundation.

Here we have basic unit put together, 12 x 16. Then, we added siding and a simple slope roof. At first we used this as a place to store some log firewood. Then, as we re-evaluated the property layout, we decided that this location would be better served with a Utility Kitchen. So we added a floor, insulated the walls and roof, and brought over plumbing. The electricity came from the Solar Panels that eventually went on the roof of this small building. 

This pic gives you a sense of what this building became. As a Kitchen, it had a large sink, gas stove, refrigerator, dining table, & heavy duty storage in each corner. We added a large Patio Cover (over a paver patio) out front, where we put a dining table on the patio for more space. With the barbeque nearby, and the fire pit (surrounded by benches) nearby, this space became the gathering place. 

Construction of Pole Barn

However, not all projects have a happy ending... And the Pole Barn Project is one such project. We had to include it here, due to the many hours spent installing the poles. This was one of the very first project attempts on the new Homestead. We had found someone selling used old utility poles, so the idea behind the pole barn was to have some simple walls and a roof, so that we could park the RV under it, to keep snow and weather off of the RV. To support the poles we had to dig 3 ft deep holes, but unfortunately, the ground was all bedrock. This meant that we had to use a jack hammer to pulverize the rock, and then suck out the rock powder with a shop vac. Such a tedious process, that took 6 hours per hole. 

Then there is the problem of lifting such a large pole into a hole, by hand. Since we did not have access to a crane or heavy equipment, the answer is a "pole jack". Here is Nathan with the Pole Jack he designed. How this works, is 3 out of 4 of us lift the pole as a group as high as we can. The fourth person sticks the Jack underneath to hold up the pole at that height, as the lifters move closer to the hole and lift again. So that the Pole Jack can move closer. Do this, until the pole slides into the hole. It is a little bit dangerous, but we got it done.

Here is Taylor and Nathan celebrating our first pole install.

In this pic, we have one pole left to install. Once we got them all in, we had other projects "jump up" like the Kitchen listed above. Pretty soon, we lost the "passion" for the pole barn, as we were rethinking the Homestead Layout, and what we wanted to do with those poles. After some time, we discovered a problem. While we did "seal" the bottom of the logs, we did not actually do it correctly, which meant that they were starting to decay in the holes. So eventually, we realized that they had to come down.... most of them just broke off in the hole as we pushed on them. Not good. Lesson learned. Although we did eventually discover a great use for them, as a joist across the gap between the SeaTrains mentioned above. We were even able to put them up there by hand, as we readied to construct a roof over the gap. This last project idea occurred just prior to us moving off of the Homestead. In the end, the whole Pole Project ended up being such a disappointment.  But we are so proud of the effort these young men put into these projects, even when things didn't work out.  :)

Odd Jobs (Abba's Acres)

While we were building up the Homestead, at the same time, we also began doing Odd Jobs and Handyman Work. These were full team-effort type jobs, with all hands-on-deck. We all learned a lot about: working for ourselves, bidding jobs, & following through on the service contracted by the customer. Here is our logo.

And this is our business profile pic.

PINE NEEDLE PICKUP - - While we did not live in the Pine Trees, we did live withing 10 miles of those who did. And for those living in the Ponderosa Forest areas, pine needles are always a problem. It just rains pine needles. This is where we came in. Our service would pickup all of the pine needles on your property. Since we did not have a trailer with walls on it, we found this work around (See Pic). These are plastic pallets that we hooked together to make a large basket that holds up to 11 cubic yards of pine needles. 

PAVER PATIO - - We found a niche doing paver patios. Here are Wesley and Taylor preparing the ground. Our process starts with a perimeter board that will hold everything together.

Once we dig the earth down to the right level, we bring in some road base to provide a foundation. After that, we add three inches of sand.

The Sand then gets tamped down, and then we use a board to screed the sand. Now it is ready for the paver install.  

The pavers get tapped down to the level of the top of the border boards. We also learned how to cut pavers, with a wet saw.

After the pavers are installed, we cover them with a layer of sand that gets swept off so that the sand fills in any gaps between pavers.

Here is the end result. So satisfying. 

Wrapping Things Up

Thanks for taking this journey with us. We have talked about a lot. Shoot, Homesteads are "a lot". Again, we are proud of the 3 young men who helped make it all happen. If you have read this post up to this point, you must be either Family, or you are Really interested in Homesteads. Since we covered so many topics, I thought it might helpful to summarize everything with a copy of the list of features found on this Homestead.
