The Riveteer Pulls Up Stakes!

Congrats. Are you going solar or are you going to be hooked into the grid?



Plug me into the grid, please!
(Would have loved to go solar, but too many tall trees-would be difficult to get the panels where they’d get enough sunlight.)

Oh, Gina!!! YAY!! KubotaMike, you are awesome!!!
 
I think we were all working so hard that nobody took before and after pictures.

Just want to say thank you to SAB for picking a record breaking hot as heck weekend for this initial work day, I don't think I have sweat so much in the past 10 years. :)

Ah, don't mention it!

Brian, not quite ready for move in. Electricity still has to be run in, good electricians stay busy round here.
 
gina, got a question.

can you receive over the air broadcast television (not connected to cable or satellite)in kerrville from san antonio? i am testing equipment at the salvation army facility and without getting into long explanation want to know, ... if yes, can you get the close captioning over the air. dont bother with this if not convenient to tell . just thought to ask since you live in k ville.
 
Short answer: I don’t know.

Long: I haven’t owned a tv in 5 years. I’m not the person to ask!

Perhaps someone else out here will post up

No $114 month cable bill? How do you survive. Gotta have my Bering Sea Gold, American Pickers tv shows, et al.

I was thinking you said something like that at that store we were all eating lunch at coming back from Menard tx. No big deal. May just pick this up for my diagnostic testing bag o tricks

Still no definite move date (heavy sigh). Getting power is taking longer than planned....investigating all options...

Water meter was installed last week, so some progress was made...

Yes, I've got itchy feet to get out there!

No thru traffic at all, short road with only two other homes. One is a retired chief of police.
 
Once you get living out there it will be a more relaxed pace. Work in mornings and evenings and rest in A/C when real hot. I am on my my 3rd. homestead in 25 years I don't have another in me and I realize just to enjoy the living. The work is never done. I made a lot of mistakes in the planning stage as far as placement, but it's all fun.
I started a brush pill with intentions of burning 3 years ago. The Red Birds love it for nesting. We have birds at our feeder and bird water / bath off the porch/ window year round and love watching them. The brush pile has changed to wildlife habitat. Enjoy the adventure.
 
Hey Gina, congratulations on your piece of land, I just ran into this wonderful news
it's a lot of work for sure, but it should be reward it!!!
all the best!!!

Congrats! Love the Airstream. Wonderful area down that way. Is your electric served by BEC? If so, they offer internet services. They are building out fiber in a bunch of areas. Closer to Borne to start was the first, but still in the area.
