How much is 50 acres there with a lake? Would be half a million or more here in Western Canada.

Not actually on the lake, I meant to say lake views. Short walk though. Roughly $250,000 depending on exchange rates. But this is a touristic area and the lake is very popular.

You couldnt touch a 1/4 acre with a livable house on it in a home owners association for that price around me

Maybe not now but there is aways the future and in parts of this country land has dropped to a low market valves in the past. It just can’t keep going up higher as we see whats happening right now.

I’m still trying to figure out who decided they could start dividing up and selling off the creators land anyway Bob.

Yes Tom, and they would really hate the 50 th year of jubilee. Where God says the land has to go back to the original owner.
That would mess up all the banking industry of loaning out monies on buying land.

I’m not sure how it’s going to play out Bob, but the central banks have pushed the fractional banking scam right to it’s limits. Since the major oil producers in the world no longer feel they are compelled to do business in the petrol dollar, our mega trillions of dollars in fiat currency has lost all backing. The derivatives load that all the central banks carry, especially the Fed and European Central Bank is far in excess of any possible way they can pay them. Because of Dodd-Franks in the US, any money deposited in any first and second tier bank is legally the property of the bank and they can usurp it to bail themselves out. That may be something that even the sheeple may not be able to quietly swallow. The idea of a jubilee may sound far fetched, but since the people of the world have been robbed blind for these many years we may well see the hand of God at work in freeing the debt slaves after all. I doubt that more than a few years will pass before we see how this all shakes out. As always, “careful where you step and watch what you eat. Sleep with the light and you got it beat.”

Bob, the only way is up. During the financial crisis there was some minor deflation. Since Corona there is so much money printed that inflation must occur. No way back, it will stay that way and will never go back unless some real bad things happen. And with bad I dont mean the war, that is driving prices even more.
And yes Tom, the Petrodollar is a genius. The US will find some new dollar.

Around here, in western Pa if you are willing to modernize an old farmhouse, you can find deals for an old house on 10 to 40 acres for under 100 k. This does mean spending time and money to make an already liveable home into a more modern and energy-efficient home. a decade ago we bought a very structurally sound old farmhouse on 20 acres for less than 90k, With a little paint and a bit of remodeling we live well here, but I would love to rewire so that we have more receptacles. This includes a small workshop attached to the garage. I teach three nights a week for a company that is desperate for employees, they start unskilled and untrained employees at $15-18 an hour. They are desperate for help.

Kent, where in W PA are you? I’m in north central WV
40 acres are 17 hectares. Farmland is currently sold well above 200 ths per hectare here. So such an old farm will not go bellow $150 ths. Your land looks quite cheep.

We are outside of Meadville towards Oh. Typically the land is either forest or not suitable for commercial farming. We have just 3 acres of pasture,

At my new work I’ve talked about gasifiers really briefly, I’m not sure any of them really get the concept. I’ve shown them my videos. I might make a demo unit using a push mower, dad gave me one with a stubborn carburetor, a Bolens Briggs flathead engine powered one.
I’d really like to buy the Murray riding mower from my uncle, not sure if he’d go for it. The Murray runs but it’s got flat tires and he doesn’t want to mess with it. Would be fun to mow the lawn with that instead of the twitchy John Deere zero turn.

I forgot Cody, what kind of work you are doing at your new job?

Forklift driving. It’s at a chemical warehouse to put it loosely. Mostly dyes, plastics, and beauty products ingredients. I pull orders in the morning and when the trucks arrive, I help load them up. Pretty good outfit, the manager keeps orders ahead of schedule so there’s no time crunch.
They’ve got almost everyone on these Caterpillar zero turn forklifts. They keep a handful of propane machines around for the seriously heavy lifting. The Cat units are all finger controls with no clutches.
Can’t wait for my first paycheck at this place, I came in during a pay week so I am having to wait until the week after this one. I hope they just combine it into all 3 weeks.
I have expressed interest in any old drums and steel buckets, so maybe I might get one every once in a while if they didn’t contain anything hazardous.

Jeez Cody. If you are looking for that kind of fun I’ll let you clear the snow off my road. If you give me a quarter I’ll let you white wash my fence.

I have to disagree with you on the zero turn mower after a couple decades using a lawn tractor then using a zero turn and cutting my mowing time by 50% I love it. I tried instructing my wife on the zero turn and she had trouble with the dual lever turn controls got mad and got off the machine and went to the house saying she’d use the lawn tractor. Few weeks later I came home from work and the zero wasn’t where I parked it, low on gas and the acreage mowed. For a couple of years before I retired all I had to do with the mower was just maintain it. I really liked that type of mowing
