"Stacks of covered lumber, the large garden and a storage building are on Lee Stover's property in Waldo. With the exception of the cabin, which was built by his father, Stover built all the structures from lumber he sawed on his sawmill."

I love stories like this one. Good read. I sold a timber sale last year that I named the "OFF DA GRID" sale. I guess I'm a dreamer.

The thought of living off grid is very romantic. Actually doing it is another story. I've found up wind of an off gridder is the best place to be.
