Living on Acreages: What You Need to Know
Mark
Living outside the city limits is much different than living in town. What do you need to know to live closer to nature and in harmony with rural neighbors?
If you’re thinking of moving to an acreage or inhabit one now, Living on Acreages will be a valuable instruction manual and reference to everything from building and landscaping in the country to maintaining rural property.
Topics include
Selecting a rural living site
Designing a homestead adaptable to lifelong needs
Establishing or accessing systems for utilities including septic systems
Understanding effects of seasonal weather and wind
Minimizing damage by insects and animals
Developing outdoor living areas
Planning and managing a pond
Planning and building driveways and roadways
Establishing a routine preventive maintenance schedule
