What to Look For When Building a Homestead

The one important point they mentioned that our land falls down on is “abundant access to water”. At least, there is no well drilled yet. We will be setting up a rain water collection system very soon, hopefully before we move. We are also going to attempt to hand-dig our first well ourselves. If that doesn’t work, I’ll use my tax refund to hire someone to drill us a well. But we wanted to at least try to do it ourselves first, because if we hire someone, it will eat up my entire refund. This entire move is going to be very financially tight, but I don’t care. I’m ready to start. We’ll make it work somehow.
