New wells aren’t cheap either. We all gotta survive the best we can given our situation.
We were told a well at our place would be at least 300ft deep and cost $7-$8K.
*boggle*.
It’s on the ‘it would be nice to do but there’s a lot of other stuff on the list first’ list.
I pay $124.40 every month to our home owner's assn. That pays for natural gas, water, trash pickup, outside repair and upkeep including landscaping upkeep, 15,000 gallon swimming pool and our outside insurance.
I can use 1 cup of water a month or a thousand gallons and I pay no more than the amount in that one bill. I never think about how much water I'm using. Of course, we don't have acres to water in our gardens and people in here don't grow many plants - most have none. At this time in their lives, they don't care.
I pay more taxes for my land than the others do. I looked that up on the appraisal district and my garden is larger than all others. That is pure accident or maybe a God thing. This was the only townhouse for sale when I needed a place and it was sold. Two weeks later, it wasn't sold. I called a Realtor right then and came to see it. The other people who wanted it, couldn't get a loan so it went back on the market. When I saw it, I bought it right then and the owners took it and were happy I was paying cash. The house was mine. I've always thought it might be a God thing that I got this place.
Now, if I can just get something to grow out there...
That is true. I have been to a lot of different parts of Mo, but never knew water was so tight there, as I remember(maybe not so well) I thought you were somewhere near St Louis.
Mo. is certainly a beautiful state. I have spent a good deal of time there and really love the rural areas and small towns. A very picturesque state.
