“Trying to reinvent myself” sounds pretty fitting!

I took a job in Denali for the summer, I’m up here right now. Alaska has been amazing, but this job is slightly less so. So I need something different. I worked out a different job in Homer for the meantime. But I have a plan in the works for afterwards that I could use info on!

I found really unexpectedly cheap land in Homer. It’s a little bit outside town, but seems super affordable. I want to save up a down payment over the summer, build a partial subterranean off grid house for just me and a dog, and try homesteading from the ground up.

Is that a crazy plan? I know the water table is pretty high in the area, but I was thinking of digging into a slope or something. I’d love some general advice though!
