Party at Clifton’s Land

We went to my friend’s house for his house warming. He bought a house in the country with 5 acres. There are also large shops on the property so he can work on his cars. They have some horses and I think his grandparents used to farm the land. There is a total of maybe 70acres that his family owns; he bought just this 5 acre section with the house.

While we were out there we had a bon-fire. It’s nice to have the room to be able to do that without someone giving you any trouble. He lives pretty far away from anyone.

He wants to build a wind generator for his electricity needs and just acquired two 10hp 3 phase electric motors that will be converted into generators for this purpose. He still needs power inverters and some turbine blades. I think we will be doing something similar in Puerto Rico except that we plan on using the river current instead of wind current so his project will be interesting to see.

He did have lots of Hay so we grabbed some for our chickens to use.
Hay for the Chickens!

This all relates to PR at least in training. Chickens are going well and I can watch my friend build some wind turbines for generating electricity. We are looking forward to moving at some point and setting up the property to live sustainably. I need to call again this week to see if the department of natural resources has accepted the deed for the easement. I think that is all we are waiting on.
