Yes it's on a different property about 1.5 miles away with no well at property with the house. I will definitely have to buy a cable tool rig to drill a well at my house as going 150 plus ft is where water might be up here. Property with house is highest property for about 50 mile radius.So the new well is on a different parcel than your house. Do you have a well at your house? If not, is another planned? How far apart is house & just dug well?
While I'm sure it's vast and pretty, there are real challenges to live there. Your background and determination is totally needed to survive in that isolation. Talk about a "mountain man" ... With heavy equipment -- Hello!! 👍😁
Would your neighbor split cost of fence and help put it up?
Once or twice a year the 30 horses horse they let run free on the BLM that attach to all my properties, yes they do just that. In fact their is two gates from two different land owners to that attach to the property with the well on it and they just cut across it when gathering horses up. Both gates need to come down on both sides of the corner of that property as both sides are off hundreds of feet.So anybody can buy livestock and Neighbors have to fence livestock out as opposed to the owner fencing his in.
Then they can trespass all over your land to round up their cattle that they are half a$$ taking care of.
I say - Go For It!Maybe I should get a drone, what do you guys think?
Nothing wrong with that fence - as long as the wind doesn't blow!Here is the fence in question, skip to 3:28 to see it.
Looked up that drone and wow, very expensive for nowadays still. I was thinking also of using mine to check on animals across the properties, and keep watch on things. Hear something, send a drone up and it can cut across all this acreage faster and cheaper than I can an ATV. One of my pet peeves is driving across my properties where the driveways aren't at and it's 900' from pole barn to road, flying it is only 300'. When it comes time to put fence up it will help. Stand at one property pin and send drone up from another property pin, shoot an azimuth and that's the way I need to go with t-post or whatever. Cheaper than having a surveyor out here.Drones are fun, we got great video of the ranch early on. Heck I even used it to video dogs working sheep years ago. We got a Typhoon drone 6 props, back then supposedly better than the quad copters - but that was I think 6 yrs ago.
Go for it.
