Got my final official contract for deed today for my property.
I think its the most land anyone in my family has ever owned. I know its the lowest mortage payment anyone has ever had!!

Got a Temp job to make $$

Got a job today at a repair shop to earn extra money for my move.
Gonna have it just long enough to save quick money to buy a truck with cash, and no payments.
Still looking at a move in May 2009.

I found my solar shower I will need at the Monkey Bone Ranch.
$2 at the flea market, where I am selling everything I own, to finance my move!!
It is brand new, but only 2.5 gallons, about half of the size of the ones I saw at walmart, but they claim 5 gallon ones for about 4 people. I am a mere 1 person.

Ready to move Now

I am so sick of city life, 2 hours each way to commute, people who can not drive worth a hoot.

Montello, gravel roads, and wildlife, here I come.

Truck Decisions

Found numerous trucks for less then $1000 on craigslist in my city before my move. Looks like I need to save $1000 and I can pretty much shop for anything I want.

Design I may go with

Elko County Building Research

elko county building and safety division

Make sure what you want to build, that you actually can build it.

Water Well Drilling

Rough estimates are about $65 per foot, anywhere from 35 feet up to 300 feet.
There is also a fee to bring the drilling equipment out there. It ranges from $2500 to $7000

A lucky new resident managed to do it for about $13000.

Water Transport Research

Crystal Glen Spring Water Sales & Transport, Western Regional States USA
(951) 415-8210
These are estimates to truck water in to Montello Area.

28 cents per gallon

6400 gallons minimum

$1792 for 6400 gallons of water

If we get enough people to chip in we can divide these costs among many people.
