    I’m thinking a skid steer with a bucket, open pit burning, a huge trash gondola, and yea, work!

    I own property in Iron county. From down state. If ya want a camp get up there and look its still reasonably priced. You can find anything big or small parcels with or without a camp.On the water or not. Ones with no electric or running water some with all the comforts of home.

    Every time I head up to The Falls I think of you knowing that you have a place in the area. This is not what I pictured. Safe journey.

    Wow, absolutely disgusting that someone would treat animals that way and turn such a beautiful place into a mess. Sorry you're having to deal with that. We moved up here 8 years ago from NC. Absolutely love it.

    You might be better off picking all the pieces of trash out of it and then literally scraping 3" of top soil off of that and putting it in a pile somewhere. Otherwise you are probably going to find that there is going to be pieces of glass all over your yard. I used to live somewhere where the people burned their trash and literally there was shards of glass everywhere. Cleaned it the best i could but if you happen to step outside barefoot, good luck not cutting your feet.

    My aunt sold her house in Shelby, Mich to a family from Honor. They made the monthly payments for three months and then just stopped paying. The money she had to pay on attorney fees and court costs, as well as the frustration of being unable to get them out immediately was quite the eye opener for me. Something too many people don’t think about when they are selling on a land contract, is getting a credit report on the proposed buyers. Had my aunt seen their credit history beforehand, she never would have considered any offer of a land contract from those scumbags.

      I have no doubt that theses church groups who sponsor new immigrants imagine they will become contributing ($) members to the wonderful people who helped them get into this country. A more saintly attitude by the congregants would be to have the wisdom to export birth control pills to the foreigners, rather than to help over populate our own country. At the rate the world population is growing, in 200 years people will be having to stand on one another’s shoulders for lack of space. Of course, lack of food and potable water will kill off many by then, not to mention the toxic quality of our atmosphere, and still the churches will shun birth control as unholy while begging for more charity donations on your part.

    I have 5 acres in Extreme Northeast Wisconsin.. And what one of the farmers down the road does he goes to the day labor place in town and gets 2 people having cigrets outside and Offers them cash and lunch for 6 hours. And things work out pretty well. Just a suggestion?

  • @FieldFarmForest
    @FieldFarmForest Před 4 lety +1

    We sold our house on a land contract. They pulled out in the middle of the night. They wrecked a lot of my 100 year old woodwork and they have been out of the house for 5 years now and you can still occasionally smell cigarets when the furnace runs. I had to wash nicotine off of every surface. We took three dump trucks full of junk out of the garage. I’m sorry you went through that.

    I just now seen your page on CZcams I know this is 2 years ago but I wish I would have known about the off-grid place cuz my husband and I at the time would have probably met you and probably bought the property him and I was wanting to go upgrade for a long time and I think good Lord Jesus wanted that to happen to him and I went to two house fires and then one morning I woke up just to use the restroom and I found him he's in heaven now but I'm still looking to go off grid with some property with it cuz I would love to homestead I don't even really believe in cars anymore a horse and a buggy a dew I just want an Amish person to show me how to ride the buggy
