Thanks for sharing the podcast, will listen to it this weekend. We have the land and have planted many fruit trees the last couple of years. We eat from the veg garden nearly every day. All that is missing is the newbuild. 

 Cool! You have it made in the shade! Have you considered an RTM home? I have tons of tips about those. I used to supervise the RTM division and the new stick build division for the largest new home builder in our area.
