lake and mountain views with a 3600 foot house worth on the current low
market $320k, oh, electricity is half yours, too. Come west! Mark Durham

Joel,
    You're so fortunate to live in an area with minimal  government
interference.  You're also lucky to be able to make a living in  a
location where
you can afford a large piece of property.  Here in  northern NJ we have to
live in MUCH smaller areas and still pay for all that  government "help".  On
my QUARTER acre property I'm lucky to have a small  TWO car garage when most
of my neighbors have only ONE car garages.  And  many of these properties
are in the $300,000+ price range.  My  property taxes are over $7000 yearly,
mostly to pay for educating other peoples  children (government "help" ain't
cheap!).
    We can't make changes in our houses or  property without getting
municipal inspections.  And our cost for  electricity is over 13 cents
per KWH but
that has come down from the former 15  cents.
    Now that I'm retired and no longer have to commute  84 miles per day to
work and back, I'm sorely tempted to move out to some less  congested and
less regulated area.
    Good luck in finding the place you want OUTSIDE the  city.

Where I  live the owner can supposedly do their own wiring.  It just has to
be the  owner and not anyone else.  On existing service the electric
company  doesn't care.  When I wired my shop I had to pull the meter
to connect to
 the service.  I called the electric company and told them I was cutting
their seal to do some work and then I called them back when I was done to
have  them re-seal it.  No problems and no inspections.  New service would  be
different I'm sure.  All this government meddling is one of the big  reasons
I'm putting in an offer on a house tomorrow that is outside the city
limits.  I wonder how many Covairs will fit on 4.8 acres?
Around 1936  by a quick guesstimate.  I'll have to take off a few to leave
room for  the house and shop.
