 Buying that Perfect Small Farm

Given the misery in totalitarian countries it appears that tyranny isn't free either.

I agree with Randy that property taxes are a form of enslavement. The government is laying claim to the fruits of ones labor just because they can. Things have to be paid for, though, so it seems use taxes are fair.

Chief, good to hear you're still kicking.

This is a timely post. After living here for going on ten years now we just had our first theft. Somebody cut the lock chain on my pallet forks and stole them. Bastards. I'm installing driveway sensors and a complete IP surveillance system that will notify me so I can view the cameras remotely, record video and trigger the alarm if necessary.

I really, really want to put in an image processing system coupled with remote lasers that will put a red dot on the chest of any perpetrators but I'd probably get sued for taking out an eye.

Thanks for the recommendation Randy. We don't really have anything to monitor that isn't in view of the house, around a one acre area. The rest of the property is heavily forested.

All equipment that won't fit in the garage and shed is chained to trees in view of the house, so cameras mounted on the house and connected to a central DVR should do the job. Some of those cameras are pretty pricey and I'm looking at about 8-12 cameras in total.

Laughing out loud The chainsaws are all locked up but if they want any of this stuff bad they'll probably have a set of bolt cutters. Quite a bit quieter.

Then leave it out near a shed or garage so a thief will think you've just left it out by mistake, the mistake will be theirs!100LL is coloured blue so anybody stealing it thinks they've got 2 stroke mix.Avgas burns very hot compared to regular gas, and since it has no lubricating oil even though it looks like it does, it burn out a 2 stroke motor in very short order.After losing a motor or two they will quickly stop looking around your place for anything else. If you know anybody at the local small engine shop, you can ask about burned out motors right after the fuel disappears. Laughing out loudBest of luck.



Smile That'll teach 'em. Good trick Murf!
