When the time comes, you sell the one you won't be needing. They don't need to be located in the same county or state.



First thing I noticed was an aluminum "walker". Apparently, the owner was disabled somehow.

The refrigerator is powered by kerosene. (An old practice). The cast-iron kitchen woodstove, apparently in regular use, would demand a lot of wood. The pricy "Heatalator" fireplace--designed to capture wasted heat--would also demand a lot of wood--sending much heat out the chimney, while drawing cold "replacement" air from window "leaks" . Food "stores" were kept in cookie tins, to keep the contents from mice and voles.

A small floating dock ensured access to town, although it may have been possible to walk to a common land area by fifty feet of stepping across a "walkway" of boulders.

To enjoy the lake as long as possible, the apparently disabled owner tried to make his island camp into a three-season cottage. Good luck with that.

You have that ALMOST right...

They need to both be on Winni so that you can have a place to build great memories with your family, and then an island place to get to alone when you need a break from creating those memories
