we have been visiting STX for several years now after searching for a place to retire we fell in love with the island and the people...finally ready to make a permanent move and were struggling to get straight answers. LOL. I'm a retired colorist of 30 years and my husband is retiring commercial construction contractor. we're super excited to build off grid and as green as possible, we're both tree huggers and environmental enthusiasts and still very conservative...IKR?
