I am going to be re grouting my shower... wish me luck. I just got a oscillating multi tool.
That should be a big help and time saver!I am going to be re grouting my shower... wish me luck. I just got a oscillating multi tool.
New tool. Nice!I am going to be re grouting my shower... wish me luck. I just got a oscillating multi tool.
I don’t know why but working in the garden is so satisfying to me.
I love it! I’ve really got to learn more on computers to play with images like that.
Any skills that you can learn to become more independent is always a good thing.I have been learning how to do some fixes on my car. The other day it wouldn't start. I'm trying to figure out if it's the battery or the alternator.
My girlfriend wants us to move, and she found a small house in the boonies in central Florida that's within our price range.
It has land, a well, and a septic system.
I have the idea that a solar powered electrical system can run the well for running water post SHTF.
Thank you.Yep. I’ve even seen storage tanks with float switches in case of longer term no sun.
Thank you. I'll certianly do that....but what's a pressure tank, by the way?I think it's always wise to have a backup generator. I prefer diesel myself. They're cheaper to operate and will last much longer than a gas or propane unit. Most liquid cooled diesels runs at 1600 rpm vs. 3600 for an air cooled generator. With diesel you can buy off-road diesel and not pay the fuel tax.
I have a 12 kw Perkins diesel generator with auto start connected to my solar system.
I'd also recommend adding at least one large pressure tank to your well.
It's a holding tank that uses a bladder to provide water pressure to your house, say 60 psi. Using a pressure tank eliminates the need for your pump to cycle on and off every time you crack a faucet.Thank you. I'll certianly do that....but what's a pressure tank, by the way?
Sounds like it could be a nice little place for after SHTF. You might get eaten by alligators though.My girlfriend wants us to move, and she found a small house in the boonies in central Florida that's within our price range.

Thank you for your concern, but I'll eat them. I've had gator tail, and I enjoy it.Sounds like it could be a nice little place for after SHTF. You might get eaten by alligators though.
Are you planning on buying this place, or lease? Florida is one place where nobody should ever go hungry.Thank you for your concern, but I'll eat them. I've had gator tail, and I enjoy it.
I've eaten gator too and it's not bad.Thank you for your concern, but I'll eat them. I've had gator tail, and I enjoy it.
Buying, not leasing.Are you planning on buying this place, or lease? Florida is one place where nobody should ever go hungry.
Nice. Any acreage with it?Buying, not leasing.
It's near Silver Springs and Ocala.
1 acre. Not much, but it is almost next door to a vast nature preserve.Nice. Any acreage with it?
I used to travel to Pensacola and Tallahassee areas, among other areas.
There's a lot you can do on an acre. Plus being next to a nature preserve is a huge benefit. To me its kind of like being next to a food bank.1 acre. Not much, but it is almost next door to a vast nature preserve.

i am a big believer in buying what you can afford. Sure, I would love 50 plus acres, but am not willing to go into debt for it. Not to mention that the upkeep on a larger property takes more time and money. I have always felt that looking at as many properties as possible is wise, and buy with your head, not your heart. Look at the value, not the cuteness of a place. I would always rather buy a distressed place to get a better deal on it too.1 acre. Not much, but it is almost next door to a vast nature preserve.
Good advice Brent. I'm a firm believer in being debt free too. The only exception would be if the larger property could produce an income. For example, does the property have any merchantable timber, possible firewood sales, grazing land for cattle, sheep, goats etc.You can
