Down Side # 102
Being deprived of getting to flip through 200 TV stations in order to decide there's nothing on, and having only one station from which to reach the same conclusion :)
If the pizza shows up, it should be free!
Watching the deer pass through your yard, being able to hear a pin drop in the dead of night, see millions of stars in the evening sky, going out your back door buck naked, if your so inclined to water the lawn no restrictions on water use. Yea living in the country certainly has it's pit falls.
I wouldn’t trade country living for the city anytime soon.
No sewer or water bills. But, if anything goes wrong with either, (as the homeowner) I'm totally responsible for getting it fixed (private well and septic).
As for TV, that's what dish network is for. We're so far out, cable won't even come here.
I also see turkeys, moose, skunks, porcupines, coyotes, beaver and turtles in our yard.
You might try some farm sales, normally a pile of scrap at the ones i've been to. but of course theirs normally some competition.Have to be able to judge the value on the fly. There is also an advantage to being the local, ive bought a couple piles,just because no one else wanted to haul it back home, lucky my home was one block away. I also have got some free scrap because the competition had all they could load and did'nt want the exspense of driving back 80 miles. So they got all the really good stuff, gave me the rest. which was a pretty fair pile of short iron.
Ranch 20 miles from town and 50 miles from scrap yard. Big trailer and full loads are the only way to deliver that pizza. Labs are our doorbell and notify us of all visitors, 99% are animals to numerous to list.
Happy Hunting to gun owners. May your bullets be with you.
There is no down side to living in the country the gals like to drink beer and shoot guns. :D
I've also had some luck at farm sales, auctions and estate sales. There is usually a pile of junk around they don't know what to do with. A couple years ago, I bought a pile of junk by the garage and they "threw in" some old farm machinery (think: harrow, disc etc) that was "sitting around, rusting and not worth trying to sell".
I solved that problem at Christmas, bought a Roku box, and started getting Hulu + went with a lot smaller Sat package,mostly for the local channels.Quote:
