Interactions With Reality by grow something

September 30, 2024 A bit about my life and this project.

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.
