Met with the surveyors today. Going to have them come in with a cat and clear a fire break around the property line which will clear the brush out of the way for the surveyors. He will also work on the road in and put in a pad and clear around 2 acres for orchards and all I have planned. It will cost me but I will have an address and good access when this is all done . I will need a permitted well and septic after that and by the fall I could be ready to move in? See how it goes but hope to be in by early next spring, even it everything isn`t done on the property yet.
Going to town later to fill up on fuel ,propane and get a few things. Got my two hand pumps with hoses delivered last night for gas and diesel out of the 55 gal drums. Still thinking I`ll need a different diesel generator as the Lister doesn`t have a pre-heater and would be hard to start in the winter. Might just get a new one so it lasts me a long time. The used ones I`ve been seeing look like they are 3/4 used up and people think they are worth 4/5s the price of a new one. Kind of hard to figure out what I`ll need in the future size wise though. I could buy one bigger than what I expect I`ll need , but they run up in cost as well as larger ones use more fuel. To small and I would need to replace it later. Be nice to be able to wait until I`m in on the property and have a better idea of my needs then, but my Honda won`t last that long and needs replaced now. Mostly bee paying off bills and will be working on vehicles. Had the Blazer towed in to the shop for work first so it will be ready to take down south. Going to have a class 3 hitch put on my Silverado this week, it`s ordered. I`ll work on cleaning up weeds and making the place all cleaned up where I`m at because I may be here awhile yet. Not sure about a grow yet. Just bought a bunch of amendments for the soil. I`m thinking I may still put in about half of what I`ve been doing and see what happens. Instead of 60 plants I`d put in 30. Should be less work and less waste. It might give me more time to keep an eye on the work on the property also. I`m not sure what it will do with yield. Using the same amount of ground space and more room between plants I libel to have a larger yield per plant and not that much of a difference in yield. I`d have a 4` x 8` x 18`` area per plant , twice the room for root growth and more side light will hit the plants also. If I do a winter grow this was always the idea and it will only need half the lights as if I grew 60 in that same space. I think I`ve been over crowding them all along. But it always looked so flush with growth. Always so over grown by the time they go into flower.
