Thanks for the info Peter!
We already have power (Boca Ciega area), water is still about 100feet away, but we plan on using a cistern. We have a full time neighbor who uses cistern water & has never had a problem.
I've asked our realtor for names of someone who can do the finish work, ie: drywall, cabinets, porch, etc. But if anyone out there knows someone trustworthy & does quality work, I'd love to get names.
Thanks all!
