Acreage dwellers ... show us your pics
Did a quick walk around the house this morning, and took a few photos. It's a very crisp and clear morning, with fresh snowfall. I love the look of it.

Nice, but I'm glad that my apartment complex hires a lawn crew so I don't have to take care of the shrubbery.

Not sure what constitutes "acreage" but we live on 2 acres in a house built in 1763.

This is my 5.6, complete with the Trebuchet I can't get my son to dispose of. Him and a couple of his buddies built it for a physics class project.

Seriously interesting places everyone has. I can see the appeal of living in the desert, just not sure what you do for water? Truck it in, or can you drill a well in the desert? ... if so, how deep do you have to go?

There's a guy who owns about 75 acres behind our house. It goes up to a ridge and abuts a conservation parcel. He doesn't live there but has a small barn with some earth moving equipment. He basically comes there and does "stuff" with his equipment. He was friends with the previous owners and placed those rocks for them. Not sure why but it's actually a pleasant spot to hang out. I'm planning to do energy therapy there in the Spring/Summer.

There is a well on the property now, or it was a well when it was in use by the previous owner, it is drilled to a depth of 75 feet.

It is in the Nicola Valley, Thompson Okanagan region of BC. It is part of the sage brush belt that runs down to southern Nevada. This is one of 40, 4 acre lots developed on the old Quilchena Ranch. Cattle country. Hot, dry summers and cold winters. Unlike SW Ontario, it cools off at night in the summer so no need for A/C.

I'm so SMRT.
