We have a railroad flatcar bridge on our property. It is used to cross a creek that runs in front of our home. The previous owner had it installed about 20 years ago and when we had the home...

I made the big move from suburbia to country life about 3 weeks ago. Having previously used cable internet, there was no way we could tolerate dial-up. Our only two choices right now were sattelite...

Wow...I couldn't tell from the picutes that is was that large. Is the entire Lake on your property? You referred to this as your campsite. Does that mean that you only camp there or is there a...

Thank you. Can you give me some information on how to take temperature readings? We are just south of Buffalo, NY, so the weather here will be anywhere from close to 0 F to as warm as maybe 90F. I...

You have beautiful property! I love the picture with the fall leaves. I can't wait to see what my property will look like in the fall. How big is the pond? Is it man made or natural?

Thanks...
It has large mouth bass right now (also grass carp to keep the algae down). I would like to stock it with some sunfish too. I think that would be fun for my daughter to catch when she's...

We are about 30 miles south of Buffalo and we are also thinking of planting some Christmas trees! We won't be planting 500 though (probably about 20). Just enough to give some to family and...

Thank you all for your replies....
We are going to test drive the vehicles that I mentioned and then go from there. We need to save up a little bit before we buy, since the closing costs on this...

Hi Jerry,
I am new to country life too. We are moving from an inner ring suburb of Buffalo to a rural town about 30 miles south of the city. We will also be on well water (although we may tap into...

Thank you. . .
The more I think about it, I realize that some of my anxiety about moving is due to the unknown. I love wildlife and the outdoors, so I am sure it won't take me long to realize how...

nice fish.....

Thanks for your honest advice....
I know that this does pose some danger, however, I think my husband and I are the extra cautious type and we'll do all that we can to keep our daughter safe. I...

We have four ponds on our new property. 1 is a wildlife pond on the other side of a creek, so it won't be too easily accessable. The other 3 are about 100-200 feet from the homesite. I have...

Here is an areal view of our new place.....We will be moving in next month

Which one is better to use? They have been drilling for a lot of wells in my new homesite and my house would be able to get natural gas. Currently it is set up with propane. The clincher is that...

Thanks JazzDad....
I agree, it will definitely be safer and more peaceful at our new place. Our house will not have neighbors on either side of it. We will have a neighbor across the street, but...

Thank you Egon...
We will definitely be looking up information about these systems before we move. My husband is very smart on how to fix things, so I am sure he will be able to learn these new...

Does such a vehicle exist (LOL)? Honestly, I know that 4WDs are not as fuel efficient as FWD. However, our new place has a long, steep driveway and I need something that would be able to get up it...

Hello,
As I posted my intro above, I am moving out to the country onto a 17 acre wooded lot. I have a 4 year old cat that lives most of the time inside, but we do let him out (he stays in our...

Does anyone on here have a small (10kwh) wind turbine on their acreage? If so, how has it been working? How long do you think it will take to make back your money?

I am in western NY and am...

Hi...
My husband, 4 month old daughter and I will be heading 30 miles from the city to a rural part of the county. Our home is on 17 wooded acres, set back about 600 feet from the road. We have 4...
