Or take the Sumpter Valley approach: Get a handful of dedicated volunteers, with little money and no experience, who do not realize they can't do it. In 1971 there was no internet to help, or hinder, the operation. It takes a lot longer this way but you are in control of your own destiny. Fortunately there were a few of the original Sumpter Valley people still around to offer expert advice.
