Welcome Preston to Pilot Valley

I would like to thank Preston for the information he has provided me about the area around Montello. Its great to know, that I wont be the only one there. Rev Michael, Geoff, Preston and I will all make it it if we stick together and learn from each others mistakes!!

New Wind and Weather Reports

Rev Mike, found some info about the wind. 3mph to 17mph. still unknown is if its constant.

Temps look better then the ranges I found previously. Guess we will have to keep a log through out the years for our own records.

Thanks for following Preston

Preston do you already live in Montello? if so email me your email address so we can chat!!

Trevor Cohen Memorial

A nice man named Trevor Cohen found out about Monkey Bone Ranch, and has decided to help us with our water fund. He will start with donating money to buy a water tank to hold our fresh water. His next donation will fund our water well project. We plan to share the well with other people who will try to live off the land and be as eco friendly as possible. Unfortunately our generous donation is due to Mr Cohen having terminal lung cancer. Due to the fact he is donating to us, we will be building a memorial in honor of him at Monkey Bone Ranch, so that his name and memory will forever live on when he is gone. Hopefully he can come see the place before he is taken away from us.

Water treatment container

Found another water container to use like a rain barrel. Its been sitting next to my house for almost a year now. Forgot I had it. It was given for free last year by a place I worked at. Its a Huge Beer Ice Tub. Has a built in garden hose connector, so it will be filled with waste water then used to water the garden or for water for the animals after its been treated. Need to find a 4th wheel, thats why I got it for free.

Free heating method

My friend michael and michael from nevada reminded me of something I saw
a while ago. You use a box to capture the suns heat, use a fan to blow
the hot air into your house, and it sucks the cold air back into the box
to heat it. Totally free way to heat the house. I remember seeing one
that heated water along the same theory. When I am in florida, I will
build one for water, one for heat. Will need to find a method for
cooling since there is a lot of hotness in florida...

Relocation for now

If I win the auction, I will be the proud owner of 1/3 acre of land in
sunny florida. Its off in the woods. I plan to set it up as I would in
nevada to see what will or will not work. Its about 90 minutes away.
Close enough to come back home if I fail out there..
