At night, we watch the moon rise through the white pines surrounding our little trailer in Lunenburg County, N.S. We’re nestled between Christmas tree farms, there are sheep nearby, and it’s a short drive to Rissers Beach (where a great white shark was spotted in July). But the trailer itself needed work on the systems that make it liveable: water, electricity, and heat. A generous neighbour offered an old woodstove if me and my partner were prepared to fix it up.
