I have dreamed of this lifestyle for over 20 years, and just moved here a few months ago.

Septic is installed, we live in an RV. Just got this land leveled and ready to move the RV into place next to the storage containers we have. Right across the driveway will be a large garden area, but right now we only have a compost pile so far.

A neighbor said they will help us with chickens, so we only need some fence and feed. Things move slowly, but we are excited to jump into this lifestyle. Fresh air and beautiful views.

Anon about to find out economies of scale. That garden isn't enough to feed him year-round.

Anon wasn't trying to live off the land, just to have a hobby

Knowing 4chan, this smelled like a trad fantasy.

"Large garden, because I love plants" equates to "I want to grow enough to feed myself" in your mind? Bit of a stretch there.

small bungalow

proceeds to list a 5 rooms house

EDIT: ok, apparently i do not know what a bungalow is. Their size ranges from less than 70 square meters up to 130, my mental image was of a large wooden tent of ~40 square meters

Just a small bungalow with its own private gym.

Do bungalows typically have basements?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Regionally dependent, typically based on the weather, terrain, and how populated the area is. In cold places with more than 16 feet to bedrock, you will typically have basements because they're cheaper to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. If the bedrock or the water table is close to the surface, basements are too expensive or impossible. If there is lots of space around you and it isn't too cold, you won't have basements because they cost more per square foot than building on the surface. If you're densely populated (and don't have the exclusion conditions listed above), you will likely have a basements because it costs less to have a second floor (above or below) than it does to buy more land.

In short, bungalows have basements where it's more cost-effective than having a bigger bungalow.
