[housing] Photos of the farm in Pelham, NH.

Pending water and radon testing, closing is on the 23rd:

Property line is in the middle of the stream.

Update: Tests came back. Everything looks good except the radon in the water is high. My current plan is to pretty much ignore it.

On the right side of that photo you can see where the line goes to a poll, then into the ground.

Yes, well and septic. Don't know about generator access.

It's got a couple weird propane burners inside the house that vent the exhaust outside. Supposed to be real efficient.

Yes. It's looking like:
1 water buffalo (awesome milk like in India)
2 pigs
chickens (egg layers)
rabbits
potatoes... I don't know what else.

You can get generators that run on propane. Again supposed to be efficient. I've been hearing propane generator propaganda for about 3 months now since a co-worker is getting one installed.

With regards to this. A friend was telling me about a company, small as yet, that was supposedly making an electric generator/hot water tank combo that is designed to put to use some of the waste heat used in keeping your water hot. I don't have any additional information, but it sounded like an interesting concept, at least.
