I was surprised to learn Thomas Massie lives entirely off grid in a timber framed and wood fastened home he built entirely by himself using the wood he milled himself and materials from his land in Kentucky. He gets power from solar which he stores in a salvaged Tesla battery he wired and wrote the software to manage himself. He gets his water from a dug well on his property. He did his own plumbing and septic. He keeps cows, chickens, and ducks.

Anyway, really awesome build and he seems like a great dude.
