They had been built as several smaller homes and he just kind of "spread out" among them. He had a Windmill that provided electricity to his bard and a yard light. He had a small apple orchard and bee hives. No running water except in the spring when the snow melt from the hills behind our farms would be channeled down and into some pipes he had laid.
He was living like this while right across the road from us in a different kind of a "dugout" was the "Hammer of Hell" ICBM silo.
