Salutations from FL
I have been over at EcoModder and saw that this site had been started. My wife, daughter, and I live on 5 acres in North FL. Deep sand with underlying Karst. It is now heavily populated with native hardwood, but the land was previously agricultural, so the soil is pretty much tapped out for now. We have amended a few areas, including a garden plot. I look forward to learning from others on the forum and helping when I can.

Hey Charles! Good to see you over here at EcoRenovator!
|
Thx SVO :) Good to see you here as well
|
Welcome to the site dentprone. Do you have any pictures of the place or specs of the home?
|
Welcome!
I didn't know what Karts is so I figured I'd share Karst topography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia What was previously grown where you live? |

:D Kidding!!! As far as I know, just hay. It is also possible that the land had pine on it, but it would have had to been over a hundred years ago. Thanks for the link, and good to see you over here. |
Hey Dremd,
How did you do with the storm? I imagine you got a little weather... |
We Lucked out for both storms!
I evacuated for Gustav, in retrospect I didn't need to, but had the predictions been correct I would have had serious damage. I got power back approx. 24 hours after the eye had passed, I was only home for about 3 hours of no electricity :-) I was VERRY lucky about the power; downtown didn't have power for another 24~36 hours and lots of people were out for 1.5~2 weeks. Ike was a total joke overall, for some reason we kept getting feeder bands over my house all night, so 60~70 mph winds, but the power never even went off. |
Good to hear about the power and wind, it is a good thing that Ike wasn't as serious as it could have been. I had been talking to a guy in TX just a day or so before the storm hit. I was helping him get his Genset online, but I haven't heard anything since the event.

Well it's good to hear you guys are ok. And Welcome to the boards Charles! :D
It must be really nice to have a decent sized property. My fiance and I have always wanted to get out of this suburban rut and get a house with some decent acreage. I think having the trailer on the property would be a good thing, and then if/when you want to build a house on the property, you can do it to your specs, and you can build the entire thing from the ground up with an Eco-Friendly design in mind (another thing I'd love to do) :) You'll defiantly have to keep us updated on what you do with your "blank slate" you have to work with. I'd love to hear what becomes of it. Woody |
