Coworker built a new house and hooked up with city water instead of spending the money for his own well. First month's water bill in the summer watering his acre+ of grass was $900. Get a brain morans and get your own well if possible.
My uncle has a nice three acre property outside of Des Moines. His yard always looks immaculate. A new neighbor asked what his secret was. Uncle tells her all three acres are sprinkled and that he runs the sprinklers at least daily (possibly more - can’t remember). She sets hers on the same schedule hoping for similar results. Husband gets a $7,000 water bill that August. Needless to say he was quite pissed. They were on city and my uncle had a second well for watering his property.
I don't see the connection between water well hot takes and where you live but I'm a dumb in bumfuckville.
Two items I would have never guessed people were so passionate about. Wells and rice cookers. I have both, let’s meet at a local grocery store but give me at least 90 minutes or so to get there. I’m about 75 miles away from the nearest.
Look, I love my instant pot too. I was a hater until I got one as a gift and started using it (makes some killer Indian dishes). It doesn’t make rice nearly as well as my rice cooker.
Exactly. Not to mention it would kinda suck too be annexed into a city and then be told that they're not going to provide services.
They provide everything else as far as I know. Guess they decided it wasn't worth the cost, though I'm sure the # they gave us was so they could make a profit off the installation.
Know what's nice about having a well? If the government mandates a water rationing then you don't have to abide by it.
About 11pm the other night, I’m the last awake, reading TMB when I suddenly hear a voice coming from the bedroom: “What’s that chopping?” “I don’t hear anything, you’re having a weird dream.” “WHAT ARE YOU CHOPPING?!” “I’m not chopping anything, go back to sleep.” “Is it the geckos?” “The what?” “The geckos are outside making chopping noises, stop them.” “Go back to sleep you maniac.”
For whatever reason, Mrs Scorpio took just the tent part of our beach canopy out of the package at some point in the last few months. We just got to the beach for the start of our vacation and guess what's not in the canopy bag.
Wished her a happy decade together on our anniversary yesterday. She says "but we've only been together 10 years!" ....yeah..? "Isn't a decade 12 years?"
"Hey, remember when you didn't know how long a decade was?" (it was a few days ago) "It's 100 years, right?" "That's a century..." Also today, we went out for lunch, and she ordered a sandwich called "The Chi-Town". She pronounced it "Chee-Town". We live in Chicago.
