Fantastic, and congratulations! We did roughly what you’re doing but backwards, and still had a lot of fun doing it.

However, I’m deeply envious that you can just drill a well. I live in Seattle, where drilling the well requires that you blow the mayor, bribe an inspector or two, buy what they call “mitigating” land someplace else in the state, and sacrifice a goat. And after you found a suitable plot for the well, a $1 million drill has to be towed onto the property to make sure ground is preserved.

Where are you living this beautiful life of you’re?

Head east. Or west. There are lots of wonderful places outside the I-5 corridor where I would argue our quality of life is at least on par. Different, and perhaps with fewer economic opportunities, but nonetheless a very high quality of life.
Not sure you can technically blow this mayor but I digress
I may have indulged in a wee bit of hyperbole
Drilling a well in the city of Seattle ? Why would anyone ever do that?
Technically rural Redmond, a neighboring city. I bought some of the vanishing farmland.
Give it a year or two, you’ll be surrounded by apartments and then hookup will be easy
* yours not you’re. Thanks, Siri
