Hello Everyone, so glad I found this place. My guy and I have been researching Off Grid living and solar power, and wind power and composting toilets and a hole slew of everything. Till recently it was just a dream, a dream to get some land and build a little home and start our life off grid away from the cities. What changed is that I am receiving approval to use my families land in Colorado. The close to exact area would be the San luis Valley area, The land is in the San Luis Valley Ranch Subdivision south east of Alamosa. It is Unit 24 Block 21 Lot 8. There isn’t much out there. Well, we want to give this a go and my simple question is how to start? I know not so simple to answer. I am in Wisconsin now and I know I need to come up with money but how much? And is there someone I can contact in the area to let me know what permites I will need and I am trying to figure out codes out there for building a 14ft x 14ft structure. Any information or suggestions would be great. And if there is anyone who lives in the area please e-mail me would love to talk. Thank you Nat
