I now see why it's so cheapMoving Sixty miles out in the Desert. I have a house there and nineteen acres. Havent seen it in about five years havent live in it in twelve.... I neeed to go back...
Raw land has its down falls. You have to drill a well Put in septic Run power lines. Get it all approved then you can build a house. Most people buy a modular. This is NOT farm land... its good for goats and cattle.... NO grass. No Trees or very few trees. By the time you get the improvements done you will triple the price easy.
I been doing it since aquariums were steel rimmed and packed with Tar for waterproofing... The first All glass ones came out in aquarium stores the year I started working at The Sears Pet and Garden shop. I think I was twenty one? So more than forty years. I think Cap has been at it a very long time as well.
IN all that time I never was able to get plants so survive more than as long as it took the fish to eat them...It takes a special kind of patience to have a tank with live plants...
As far as me getting my strength back Its coming along having more good days now... Packing and inventory are easy tasks if you make it easy... Getting up and down from a seated position is my BANE... But I am gaining strength in my legs... and working on standing upright rather than hunching over.... Core strength is GONE.
I used to be able to grab a horses mane and swing up bareback. Up and down stairs No problem.... Those days are gone I am afraid but I Know I can get up to the point where I can go out and feed the poultry and the goats.... And maybe my horse again.
Found A Farrier that lives up in the general neighborhood. So my girl can come home....But Shh dont tell my mom she is adament that I not have horses again.
Strategic placement of bales of straw make excellent resting spots for me. And I do have a Big walker with wheels capable of handling rough but firm ground.

! .. Before I was like It must be a really...remote area. Glad you can finally get to move back to your own house I hope it all goes well!
.. Wow that's a long time of fish keeping
! I can't believe they used tar, well I guess that's what people used for roofs .. What kinda filtration systems were around then? I bet The metal rims were a little bit of a challenge for salt water. Although the salt water hobby may not have been as common.... Well it depends on what type of fish you get. Gold fish will destroy live plants. Also you need good nutrient rich soil and a good light. Here's what I would love to have
it's not like He didn't do a great job ether.! He doesn't even care if people pay him . He just says it's penance .
. Rant over... So you might get a horse, aww that's gonna be nice, I won't say a word to her
.shh...... If you get the horse feel free to share pictures.
