Modern Monticello
Take Me Off-Grid
Power & Heat
Standard repair/upgrade — same as any handyman call, just for your heating/cooling systems specifically.
Roof coating, attic venting, an earth tube — the same escalation path as the Utilities wizard, cheapest first.
Water
Fix the existing plumbing/well/municipal hookup as-is.
A cistern and pump system catches what already falls on your roof for free — same Utilities wizard covers this.
Water & Waste Loop
Standard plumbing/greywater disposal, unchanged.
The Flatwoods washing machine routes its own filtered greywater straight to food-forest irrigation instead of down the drain — one build closing two loops at once.
Food
Keep buying groceries as-is, no changes to how you eat.
Turn part of the yard into something that actually feeds you — the Garden wizard, same depth as the utilities one.
Land & Structure
Standard repair to what's already built — foundation, decking, walls.
Turn unlevel ground into a terraced garden instead of just holding it back — the Retaining Wall wizard.
Connectivity
Cutting dependence on your cell/internet bill is part of the plan (the Fire Tower Network) — still on the drawing board, not bookable yet. Ask about it on the walk.
A real overhaul usually stacks two or three of these together rather than tackling one in isolation — the property walk is where that actually gets planned out, not a page.
