Can`t do a fasting blood test as I forgot and had a cup of coffee so will reschedule. I`ll spend the day running for water and take a trip to town later. I`m hoping I can get a start on the screens in the morning but If I get a chance I`ll do some tonight. Well chore time!

I went easy on myself but still managed to finish the sides of the greenhouses with screen, just got the ends to do now and they will be enclosed. Was going to try to get two loads of water, didn`t work out to well. I got one load and it`s still on the tuck until light. I started to upchuck and went and laid down afterwards. I`ll use the water in the truck to water the veggies and fill the fresh water tank in the morning. I can fetch an other to replace what I water in the greenhouses later in the afternoon. Trying to keep up with the tanks full as much as possible. The spring is down a little but much more water than last year around this time. It could also use a good cleaning out.

I was thinking about the cost of a bridge or culvert. Thinking I might just `park` a heavy equipment trailer across the creek for now with all legal license and intact. Maybe a 14 ton + deck over. Should make a nice temporary bridge and as they are made to carry a mid size Cat, it should do the job for a 3/4 ton 4x4 truck to cross even weighted down. Once across I can carry soil and maybe rent a front end loader to fix up the road better and put in a pad. Know one has been down the drive in over 50 years and the drive doesn`t even show on Google maps , so how would the county even know in a couple years from now if it was new work or done more resent? If I can get permits for a well and septic I can also get an address assigned to the property. I can always but a bridge in right later or decide on a culvert . I just want the property useful as soon as possible. Hell with just a pad and way over the creek I could be renting the property out for a grow area for 25 k a season! All it needs is a water tank that could be filled from the spring with an Alaska septic for a travel trailer and room for a few holes or grow bags. If I want to put in a legal cabin at some point I`d have to put everything in all legal with permits , but I just want my property accessible for now. Maybe be able to cut some firewood and do some clearing. Yes I want off this dusty road but if I brought in some gravel for the road I could cut the dust down a lot and maybe just put up an RV cover and some skirting over the RV with an overhang in the front. Hell except having to hull water from the spring I`m nearly set up where I`m at ! I wouldn`t have to move for now.

I also have property across a creek. We think the trailer across the creek is the way to go, although we haven't done it yet. Wondering why you would need to keep it licensed?

Because it is just a stuck trailer that way and not a bridge if registration is up to date. Doesn`t fall under building codes , just DMV codes. Far as I know there is no law against loading and unloading a trailer from ether end, if that other end is on the other side of a creek so be it.

It t we got the screen stapled up on the ends of the greenhouses. Still need to put lathing up to hold it better and put up the screen doors. I got 5 loads of water but because of the heat I only kept up with the water tanks and didn`t get the 325 gal mix tank filled. I have one load on the truck that will go in the mix tank in the morning and it will take an other 1/2 load to get it filled. The other half will go towards keeping up after doing the morning watering. Soon as I get the water ALL caught up I`m going to take the water tank out of the truck so I can use it to fetch lathing and new siding for the office trailer. Still not 100% sure what the volunteer Bubba`s Crack is a male or female. It`s in the shed in the dark for an other 24 hrs. Didn`t get the office or travel trailer cleaned yet , we both worked hard but it was so hot in the sun and well we just couldn`t get that much done. I could hardly stand as my nerve damage to my feet hampered things. I also had a group of Chinese people come by and they had a map to my property from a realistate agent and were trying to use my privet road to view my property. They didn`t speak English well but I think I got through to them that the agent made a mistake and my property isn`t for sale ! Not happy about it though and couldn`t find out who the agent was that sent them. Hope this doesn`t keep happening !

Butte County has a new grow law proposal for voters in November. 4 of the 7 County Supervisors back the proposal to allow commercial medical Cannabis growing of 25% of ones property and up to 1 acre of land per property. Not sure what else would be on measure "J". I`m sure some kind of fee would be involved. It would also allow for Licensed Dispensaries in the unincorporated areas of the county. I guess they`d be firing the code enforcement officers?
