RE: Ho wlong to become completely self-sufficient?
I was going to remodel my basement with a completed room......but I figure I can get out cheaper building a shop, myself.....and get some added bonus use out of the space.
The equipment to become suffiecient isn't that expensive (in the grand scheme)....and I think I'd get a lot of satisfaction out of being able to do it myself.
Couple of weeks.....and I'll get started.
