We are pushing 3800 sq ft and wish it was smaller, but we love the land were sitting on, very small plot 12 acres, but we like it, so here we'll stay. I can pee outside, shoot my pistols and get my power tools out without someone coming up to me and asking if I have a permit. When we moved out here after the house was built buy mostly me. I started cleaning up the property that was is terrible shape, a little better than now. I would pile up big piles of dead trees and brush and set them off, first time the volunteer Fire Dept came screaming up the drive way, jumped out of there trucks and asked me where my water hose was, I pointed to my feet where the nozzle was and said there's my tractor with a blade on the back. They had a reason to be concerned, wind was out of the South at 20 MPH, but I was burning on the North slope of a knoll and the smoke was blowing South until it got above the tree line. Theses folks are as country as it gets, they hung around a little and watched and left, I was so relived when they left, I needed another beer. Now if they drive by they just wave, they know I'm a safe fire bug! HA!
