Pj Drew hasn't added a story.
Brandon's mom died about 10 years ago. He took his money and bought these 10 acres of land. Him and his Dad have put the septic in, and electric in and we have internet (our "luxury" utility).
As the water distric down the road 3 miles expanded, we thought they would be bringing water out to us. but no, they wont. So we need to drill a well. It costs about $7500 including the electric hook up that has to be ready for the pump, the storage tank, and them to drill and have water!
We are setting up an aquaponics farm.
We have purchased used items or gotten some free, that we can get up and running. One of those things was a used walk in cooler. Its very insulated, and we are going to put planks and plastic on for a "roof" so the sunlight can come in, in the summer we can take it off because heat is the problem here then. We have an insulated roof for it, but that would create a need for artificial light costing more! We want to work with the sun, and I would like within a year to have solar panels in place to run the equipment in side as well.
We want to grow and sell vegetables and eventually catfish and talapia. We would like within a year to also have some sheep for milking and possibly goats and Yak. We are also thinking of raising angora rabbits for yarn. We would like to become self sufficient.
we want the kids to learn the ways of life that are supporting nature not destroying it
but without running water, not much of this will be doable for long. at 25 cents per gallon for water, its quite expensive to keep "carting it in". THANK YOU
