As I have stated in prior posts, I have no intention of
lessening my quality of life when we move to the new homestead. I will change
many of the ways I do things, but the quality of the end product will not be
reduced and the method will not be torture.
A ton of folks complain about laundry, which astounds me because,
really, the machines do all the work. I just add soap and fold. The machines
do the rest. On my new homestead we intend to be off the grid as much as
possible. This means my homestead will be people powered, solar powered, or
wind powered as much as possible. While I will have a washing machine and a
dryer, I intend to only use them when absolutely necessary so that I don’t have
to rely on a petrol based generator to do wash.
