Forgot to mention. Since our well basically pumps up sewage that we filter and sterilize and that's electric dependent and our utility is slightly less than dependable, we purchased and installed a battery backup for the UV light system so if the power goes out it will not go off and potentially allowed contaminants in for the brief period our pressure tank tries to function. We're working on taking our house off grid as far as power so we can always have water. Mark is looking for a company that will let us purchase and install enough solar for our home and barn use.

This area is too crowded for people to have wells and septics and they don't want to admit it. My farm is basically in a suburban neighborhood (and a whole lot of the neighboring houses are just RV's and makeshift trailers and IDK where they potty). And they can't complain about the dogs barking through their plywood, tarp, and RV walls because they aren't supposed to be there.

My son in law has allergies to many things, nuts, the trees themselves, any wood from nut trees used for BBQ, cats make him unable to breathe, and the list goes on. Christmas has suddenly been moved to my house because my sister has cats. When she had her big house, he could sleep upstairs where the cats didn’t go and there was a large covered deck that everyone hung out on. But now with a small house and small porch, there is nowhere for him to get away from the cats.
I don’t even know what I’ll be cooking.

Oh man, that's difficult. I hope you both can find a way. Sounds like it may have to be a short visit for him unless they can bring like a little camper or something for him to put up a safe zone. Allergies are natures joke on us.
