Thanks for listening
to this episode. If you wish to sponsor us fully, scroll towards the end.
Etsy store - Etsy.com/shop/ArtblessingDesigns
(I plan to post more on there later but just pulled some of it for in person sales. )
If you wish to
sponsor
Water bill, $45-$75
per month
Electric bill –
$160 to 180 per month
Rent to own building
- $140 per month
Cell phone bill for
two lines unlimited - $50 per month
Food $1100 per month
Gas $120 per month.
Property tax $95
something a year.
Past stupidity- 15k
miscellaneous debt. I say it was stupidity but the bulk of it was do
to not having enough savings for the inevitable storms in life.
Still faith would have been a better path to take than debt. We are
paying it off bit by bit as getting back to debt free is a high
priority. We both prefer to spend only what we have.
Materials – no
cap, but $250 a month is a good start. This is to build needed
infrastructure to help us process produce, store goods, etc.
This is first
priority as it will allow us to build housing for needed tools etc. I
can build but Material costs limit the speed I can build at.
Wish list items
Incubator that holds
50 to 100 eggs – Estimated cost $50 to $100
Duck eggs to
incubate $75 (buys 6 to 18 fertile eggs. Depending on what breed.)
Quail eggs to
incubate $50 Buys up to 100 eggs depending on breed.
Solar stuff, fans, lights, etc.
Electric fencing. -
$150 This is for the mesh electric fence which would allow us to move
the ducks or chickens around to specific areas that needed tending.
IBC totes $75 This
is a 225 gallon or more tank used for rain water collection and
irrigation, If we get enough of them going we may use a handful of
them for fish farming or farming various pond plants, likely both.
Ram pump for low
flow. 4 ft drop, ¾ inch feed. -$150
Rent a buldozer -
200 per hour, 4 hour minimum. $800 to 2000 worth of work. Would allow
us to create better access to other parts of the property, build
campsites, Terrace the land, dig ponds, etc. We have roughly 12 hours
of work to do initially. This would save us a lot of time.
Shovels $15 to $50.
We go through some shovels. I do a lot of digging. I mean a lot. :)
Some of this might be used to pay someone to weld old shovel heads
onto metal pipes for a long lasting shovel that can handle the
workload.
Sickle $25 to $50
Irrigation supplies
– PVC, misters, timers, hose, etc
$500 Should allow us
to do a decent size area.
Tools – I would
like to aquire a large variety of wood working tools and other shop
equipment.
Any amount to this
end would be helpful.
Books.
Continued education is important to us and we hope to build a decent
library, particularly books about plants, animals, farming practices,
etc.
That’s about it
for now, as the project continues our needs will shift and change.
For now any of this would help us out a good deal. The goal is to do
good for many. I can’t promise anything in return except for a
thank you.
If you wish to fully
sponsor us, $50,000 to $100,000 per year would both fund our family
of 5 and allow us to further the project a lot. Really we could
survive on 2 grand a month more or less, I just put it higher which
would allow us to pay for supplies and equipment.
Well there ya go, we
tipped our hand, showed some numbers, and asked with the intent of
doing good for a lot of others. We will be proceeding with or
without funding cause it’s what I’m supposed to be doing either
way.
Donations can be
sent via Zelle or paypal, just specify what you want your donation to go towards and the funds will be set aside for that. If you would like to send physical items from the wish list, just email me.
