My big concern is major forest fires. We are due. There is so much fuel that exists on the floors of Maine forests ,,,,everywhere. I 've got 50 acres and I am turning drops and delimbs into wood chip trails. Also dropping trees on my boundry to create a fire break against advancing fires,,,,

Next year, I'm building a natural pool 35 ft. from the house. maybe 100 x 60 x 80 x 110 or so perimeter feet. To do this, I'll be excavating soil from the low area on my property to berms 150 ft or so of walls.. So I will have 2 massive holes, with a well for each - solar powered. I plan to give the town the one close by the road. Should be fun and a smart play on my part. It's all about the property development and making it attractive in 2030.
