Okay @Latestarter ....I must admit to not knowing about Ky, because since being an adult, I have lived in Tn, Fl, and Ms. So, I can't 'Speak' for the others ....tho, I knew ya had been 'Looking' at some land there...and had to 'Leave an Opening' for ya to 'Step' thru........and, with 'What' they are paying in NH it will seem like 'Chump Change' anyway......and ya better not get me 'In Trouble' from ANY from across the 'Mountains'... ....was reminding NH that there'd be 'Goats' in the Neighborhood....really Good 'Goats' and maybe the LGD she has been 'Thinking' about...

Of all taxes, sales tax probably bothers me the least. It just motivates me to buy less... And I already don't buy as much as most people!

We'll see what happens... It will be a while either way but can't hurt to look into it.

So the updated weather forecast is calling for 12-16 inches of snow tomorrow through Friday. Guess I'd better get my shopping done today!

Like most places property taxes are all over the place in Tennessee depending on locale. Nashville is 60 miles from us and we have friends who have less $$ invested and pay more taxes. Ours is pretty reasonable but we are very rural.

Mom always said that it never Hurt to 'Look'....cause ya can't 'Shoot a Target' until ya know what a 'Target' looks like...and a couple can 'Sing' from the same Book, but until they are 'On the same Page' there will never be 'Unity of the Song'...

We bought a new generator today. Yes! Biggest issue is that when we lose power we have no heat. We have been using a very old, really weak one my grandfather had but my DH had to basically supervise it to keep the blower going. This one will power the boiler, blower, fridge and freezer and some lights. Good enough for me!

We lose power a lot... The lines have quite an interesting route over the mountain to get here. Someday we will have solar... Someday.

 

[Latestarter]

Save it (solar) for your new place... why waste it there?

Congrats! Good feeling to know you have a dependable back-up, huh!?!

Ya know......... northeast Texas is becoming the place for BYH'ers to move to! Jus' sayin'.........

 

[NH homesteader]

Haha! Yeah... Texas is too hot!

And yes, really nice knowing we will have heat no matter what! And DH is home until tomorrow evening so he'll be here through the storm!

We don't have any mountains around here, but we lose power pretty regularly too...I know it feels good to have another source to keep things going during those times...I have to check out the one up at the house and get it running, it has been many yrs since it has and just haven't looked it over yet....we have propane for heat so that isn't an issue, but it is needed to pump the water and with the animals, it would really be nice to have....
