Quote from: Knarf on Oct 12, 2023, 04:49 AMMisa and I are the last of the community here. I am 72, she will be 65 soon. We don't know what our future will be, and do not have anyone to keep the project going. I wonder about putting our "Intentional Community" description on the IC.org. There are hundreds of IC's and people scanning them to find one that fits their desires. Then we will have a vetting process. If they pass that have them move in for a trial period, say a year, and afterward they will know if they want to stay.
  If Preppers are more interested in staying, where can we find resources to find them?

If I was not such a wreck and knew what the Medicaid program was like down there in terms of how much they pay home health care givers and it wasn't so costly to ship down my mobility machines and I don't like hot weather at all, I'd consider joining you myself down there.  I have a huge SS check compared to yours along with my union pension so that alone would up your income by about the $1000/mo I figure to pay for rent here, and additionally Medicaid in AK gives me about 4hrs/day for a PCA, which here is around $17/hr, so if you or Misa signed up with an agency to be my helper, that would come to another $2000/mo income.  I don't need all that much help either, just showering, changing clothes twice a week (I wear the same outfit day and night and sleep in my recliner), and last and least pleasant, assistance wiping my butt (although when I move out this time I am going to install a bidet with the toilet, so that should be unnecessary most of the time).  Otherwise, it is EZ work, and my real problem is finding things for my PCA to do to fill the 4 hours of time they get paid for.

Downside, I'm 66 myself so I wouldn't be carrying on the project any longer than either of you, but $3000/mo possible additional income would be helpful in terms of fixing the place up and buying Doom Prep gadgets.  8)

Worth considering anyhow.  Could you make the Doomstead wheelchair accessible, and is the bathroom big enough for an electric wheelchair to maneuver?  Also, despite the obvious energy consumption problem, I would absolutely need to install an air conditioner in my room.  Even with that, I'm not sure I could tolerate the heat and humidity down there.
