Again, they post it on line asking if XX is legal OR is, this more than the .gov allows?

Wow. Do people really do this? "Duhhh, can I have 500 lbs of rice stored in my basement legally? I feel like I might be doing something wrong. Will DHS put me on a list?".

Forget it - stupid question on my part. Many people are friggin id-10-t's.

I reference this song all the time when people I manage at work have a problem with upper management policies, procedures, etc. (I'm middle management). I just say "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and I'm stuck in the middle with you." Some laugh there asses off, some look at me like I'm crazy. The latter is probably more accurate.

You upstaters are weird.

Heading over to the western slope next weekend to look at some property. Way past time for a move, need an area we can utilize the land better.

Yeah, we are. Good luck on the search. We are just starting to talk about a move ourselves.

I think I've responded to a similar post of yours, but I'd really like to get to that side of the state as well.

located 4 - 20+ ac properties. While a pic is worth a thousand words. Being on site shows you the meth lab, satanic alter, or about to crumble foundation not pictured.
If there's power, good septic and potable water on site that's 1/2 the battle.

Green acres is the place to be..........

I think the need to fit in or find acceptance/justification/glory leads people to talk about things they should probably keep to themselves a lot of times. There is a lot of knowledge available, and the potential for even more to be shared, on the internet. Problem is it becomes a "am i doing this right, what do you guys think, are you impressed yet" scenario and most of us are guilty of it to some extent or another.

Hey kazoo, there is some property for sale on the edge of leadville. zoned commercial, and right on the river.........when it's thawed there's even fish in there

Lol ain't that the truth. I'm sure you could "persuade" the meth heads to cook elsewhere, not sure about the other 2.

Just FYI, 35 acres is the magic number in Colorado if you have a well.. less than that and you get a "household" well permit... limited flow, can't water livestock, etc

35+ acres and you generally get a "domestic" well permit, generally means you can water livestock, up to 1 acre of land (garden?) and limited to 15gpm
(some of the specifics will vary by jurisdiction, or when the well permit was issued- but water issues are a big problem in CO.

On the original topic- everything in moderation... and CIP²

That's the truth. I have been to look at a few proprieties that seemed like a "good deal". You could get septic, water, electricity for $$$$$___, just needs a little work on the foundation and roof and ,,,,
the neighbors all have trash, pit bulls, dead cars, dead lives, .... What happened to the 5 previous owners ? .... ? They moved away ? Prison, rehab, will they will be back to get that dead car, things in the shed and camper ? What about the stray pit bull ?
