This is how my grandkids end up vanishing from govt and corp tracking... girls included.

I put a decent sized storage shed into the quiet back NE corner of the yard for all the summer/garden/misc items.

I put a permanent canvas pergola over most of the 15x20 raised deck, add a gas and wood BBQ unit.

One chest freezer added to garage wall, and private contract for a pig and a cow from the local ranch- to be stored in their subzero freezers, segments picked up by me quarterly. Surprisingly cheaper than even crap cuts at stores.

I get that subflooring installed in most of the insulated spacious garage, and create almost 400sf more living space. 3 oldest can have their own private spaces and hang out zone, put in their own TV, MW, etc and the big but high north facing window gives plenty of daylight.

All those raised cedar planters and trellises I just got are planted heavily with berries and veggies seasonally to supplement the extensive citrus and fruit trees already in big pots.

I install that extensive rainwater recovery system I have been eyeing so my water usage doesn't spike too badly.

I finally get internet/wifi service, and switch to a family plan with multi cells under JUST MY NAME.

They cancel all their online and cell accounts after transferring keeper data to flashdrive or 10 each. New carefully neutral accounts on critically desired things can be established, only a tiny inner circle knowing that.

Since perhaps 2 cars are owned by them all they "sell" them to extended family- and get bikes, with a trailer that can be used, here from private sellers.

I rent a U-Haul trailer here, hitch it to younger family unit SUV, and use it to ferry furniture and personal effects from 2 other locations with adult or near grandkids to my home, then to do the same for the youngest family unit.

Bedrooms Master and 2 are given over to the younger family, I take Bed 3 and keep one of their closets.

This both explains the increased electricity bill and internet/cable usage, it covers the added shower/laundry/sewer usage too.

And adds his solid income as a first responder -just barely too old to be drafted- to the household.

I break out the tutoring supplies and classic books bought so I can counter the insanity of public school classes currently happening.

My paranoid oversupply of paper goods, cleaners, toiletries, and food in cans or dry goods is slowly drawn down as monthly repurchases to restock it climb- all but one average shopping trip a month paid for in cash only.

poof

Can you tell this is one scenario I have been contemplating having to counter?
