NoBodyImportant Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I have about 50 freezer doors and 25 match and are about 32 in wide and 5.5 feet tall. So it will probably be 3 walls of stone with about a 20-30 ft wall of glass that will be 11 feet tall or two doors tall. With a flat shed roof sloping back to 8ft. The wall of glass will face the cliff face with a porch that over hangs. With double glass doors that open up.

Honestly i paid my house off a while back and I amassed a pretty good chunk of money by just not having debt. I was looking to find other places to put it other then a savings account. I look at this as a place as a savings account that I get to enjoy. You can buy stock but can you enjoy owning stock on the weekends? No you really can’t. The USA has millions of acres of park land but you have to move every 14 days so you really can’t build a structure on it. Plus as Charlotte gets bigger the land is getting more and more expensive. As a bonus South Mountain is becoming a tourist spot for City folk escaping on the weekends. So by purchasing this land I am locking in my future grandchildren’s spot to build vacation homes or rental cabins. But yes, there are plans for a 300 yard range, and a clay field. Maybe not a professional skeet but a 12v thrower or two. I am going to log at least five acres to start a vineyard, orchard and a field. ( field will be for dove/ deer and no plans to cash crop it) Edited October 13, 2019 by NoBodyImportant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Anyone have a wood fired cook stove, looking at this but it’s kinda high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Looks good. Ate home cooked food off a VERY old wood stove in a VERY old cabin, up in the hills above Casper Wyoming courtesy of the Ranch Managers wife. Food to die for. I think I could turn out some good eating off of that stove. We have a large log burner in our farmhouse kitchen and I ordered that with a flat plate top and we often use that to cook on. I don't know why but food always tatstes better off a wood stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Red Flag back in the 70s and met a lass who'd been the lead dancer in many of the shows in Las Vegas. On the advice of her accountant she'd been buying up the desert surrounding the town for a few cents an acre. Some had already gone up fourfold in price then and I can't imagine what it would be fetching now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted October 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Started working on the bathhouse today. I got the aqueduct in place to feed the hottub, flush toilet and sink. It hasn’t rain in 3 months but I’m still getting about 2 gallon per minute. It sprinkled a little yesterday so I’m hoping the drought is over. I found 8ft round galvanized tank that will be heated with wood. This is not mine but the basic idea for the hot tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a huge woodland area in that State Park. It’s tiny by American standards. But that’s a good thing as most people drive past it and go to the big parks like pisgah, or the smokies.

Years ago I rented a cottage in the Mayo/Sligo area whilst fishing, in the morning we stuck pre prepared food in the oven, got back after fishing........to the tastiest meal you could ask for!!

NoBodyImportant Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Grabbed a soap tank to make a hottub from. The spring will feed it and it will be heated via a wood burning stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Watch the heat and cleanliness of the hot tub easy become a breeding ground for legionnaires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
