Mrdjc - Macleods will bring it over...Thanks Kay :)<br /><br />Mrdjc - Macleods will bring it over on the calmac ferry - they drive it on their lorry and it will fit on the ferry, then they'll bring it as far as possible - the access track to the croft (we've gone for croft 3, the furthest from the village, will upload the pic) *should* be sufficient for the lorry the driver reckons from our photos. If not it'll be landrover / tractor towing it on to the land.<br /><br />So, erm as much planning as possible in advance and plenty of crossed fingers :) I suspect that's indicative of much of our future life!<br /><br />Electric will be generator initially (we are very used to using very little electric from our year in the campervan), with plans for wind / solar / hydro combo eventually. Most applicances in the static will be gas to begin with (cooker, heating, hot water boiler, fridge etc.) Water will be brought up from the village for drinking / cooking / washing initially (again something we are very used to from the last year) and we'll collect rainwater. Long term we have some information on grants / funding for putting in a proper water supply - either filtering from water source on the croft or perhaps piping up the water supply from the village. Phone - we have mobiles which get signal from various places on the croftland and in the village, landlines are down in the village including the call box if needed, we don't intend having a landline ourselves as broadband won't require it. Sewerage will either be septic tank or compost / reed beds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456662678048645183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794905457151120729.post-87496856968668078292012-03-03T14:15:32.806+00:002012-03-03T14:15:32.806+00:00How exciting - hope it continues to go well!

You have the "middle park" croft closest to the windbreak right?Mrdjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152889420242618116noreply@blogger.com
