[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3550906, member: 5412"] Excellent analysis of country living. I can't see anything you do different than what we do other than the lady in the house does use the proper facility, while mine is just off the front porch. We have one neighbor that is 275 yards away that we can't see for the trees. Next nearest is about a mile. We own 2.5 acres for the home. Farm is 45 miles away, so I'll add my response to the OP here. Zero turn mower to get around the 45 trees is a requirement unless one wants to spend two days a week a 8 hours a day on a cheap garden tractor. We are three miles from the nearest store which is a dollar general, but typically must travel another 4 miles to a grocery store. It takes a bit to realize you need to buy double requiring another freezer so trips to the grocery store aren't happening daily. Septic and water well's aren't a big thing but do require some maintenance. One will have to educate themselves or ask on OSA how to maintain them. Critters can be a major issue or not an issue at all. Depends on where your living. Pigs in some areas can destroy a lawn as well as armadillo's, or you can have some deer or turkey visit the yard for a great visual experience. There is not one answer to all of the OP's questions, but we are here to help. [/QUOTE]
