Yes indeed, it does look excellent Matt. Is the dwelling hidden behind the trees on the right, and the land to the left is the neighbours?

Na

That’s our driveway, you can see making its way up from the road.

The property is almost completely cleared land except for a few spats off trees(Shrubs).

You can see the home from about 1 km away.
It sits up on a slight mound.

We have some filtered views

But the property behind us an too the right are mostly treed in.

Cheers Matt.

It is lovely, tho at present the owners have a little bit of rubbish too remove, before we sign on the dotted line.

Very much looking forward to sitting on the deck with Gin Watching the Sunset,

Cheers Matt.

On the firewood front, we've been on this 2.5 acre block fifteen years, there are a lot of Marri (corymbia calophylla) which grow very quickly. I thin them from time to time and use them for firewood. I cut a couple down last week and they will be in the fire in winter 2024 or 25. I split the logs with hammer and wedges as soon as they're down, into lengths I can handle, much easier than trying to split once it's dry.

Cheers,
Geoff.

Next question,

We will be usingTank water mostly when we move in, do we need too consider any water treatments too use the tank water as drinking water.
There is a local water carter if we don’t have enough rain.
But was just wondering if anyone else treats there tank water,
I notice you can buy stuff like this ??

We were on tank water for years. Never treated any of it. My friends down nat foster is still on tanks and never treats his either.

Just keep the SS strainer clean where the downpipes go in your tank, keeps birds and leaf matter out of the tank.
You will get dust off your catchment roof but that will settle below the suction point of the pressure pump.
Get the best quality pump , Grundfos Pressure Pumps

Thanks Ray,

I I find the pump is bit iffie will certainly swap it out.
Good hint [emoji106][emoji106]

We use ultraviolet water sterilisers at work; zero chemicals so tasteless. You don’t have to treat the entire waterflow; you can get small underbench ones dedicated to a single drinking water tap. Power consumption is pretty low but they generally need the flouro replacing annually.

We set up concrete water tanks not long after we moved here. In 40 years I think we have only bought a few loads of water. There is a strainer on the roof collected water and a sediment filter on the water out of the pump going to the house. I change that filter every 6 months.

A couple of times, during the droughts we have had, we have had the odd dead bird, and once dead possum get caught in the tank's screen and while they were rotting there guts went into the tank. Yeh Yuck!!! To fix the situation and not lose any water I put Pool Chlorine Shock Treatment into the water then waited a few days and.....we were able to use the water again.

When we visit someone on town water you certainly know its town water. You can smell the Chlorine in the water as well as taste it. I think I much prefer tank water to "safe town water". In the 40 years we have been here we have never had "Delhi Belly" from our water

Hi,
Any one thought of boiling the drinking water?
That's what I do if I want to drink sus water.
