Hi All
I am so happy i stumbled across this great forum.
I usually do not join this sort of thing, how ever after having a read of some topics on here thought it to be very vaulable to join.
Me and my wife are currently looking at a 300 Acre property in Merriwa NSW (Rural), There is no power running to the block and I called up Country Energy for a quote (cost approx 120 to 160k to get power conntect) so we are going to go down the solar power and back up generator avenue.
We have plenty of creeks on the property and will be installing pumps and tanks.
No sewerage, so have to look at sceptic solutions.
I have never build my own home or organise power, water, sewarage so EVERYONE's input will be valued.
first thing I am looking at doing is putting a shed on the land with a 1 or 2 x 10000L tank's.
one will pump from the creek the other will catch the rain water from the roof of the shed.
We wont be building a house for around 5 years at this stage as we want to make sure then land is well payed off before the build stage.
I am really unsure of where to start and what to do, so any guidance/help would be appreciated.
I am driving up to the property which is 3 and a half hours away from our house tomorrow to spend the day up there with my family and get some more idea's of where to put the shed etc.
