racinfarmer Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Some European mountain lake town. I would say Hallstatt, but too many tourists in the summer now. Or somewhere around Berchtesgaden. Hitler's Eagle's Nest would be pretty nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmk Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Out of all the places I've lived the keys get old. I hang my hat in Indian river county Florida. Ocean front home orchid. Island. I am content. For riding north shore of the gaspee Quebec. You can ride any area of Quebec with out driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming you are using well water bumpkin. When's the last time you had your well water tested? Have you had tested ever even. No way I could test well water with the frequency that it is tested by the township. Also I have been told that township water comes from Georgian Bay and not groundwater. I'll take the filtered, tested daily if not multiple times daily over the well water you drink that could become contaminated after a severe rain storm. Your well water you are drinking could be full of all kinds of things and you've just built up an immunity over time. Nobody is afraid here.... just we have a preference for not having to worry about things like the well running dry which a number of people have experienced in our current drought conditions, the pump giving up, the foot valve needing replacing, the line freezing in the -40C temperatures and so many other things that can go wrong and likely at the most inopportune times. Like having the pump lose it's prime when you have a bunch of guests and now you can't flush the damn toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delgaty Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Sweden or somewhere else Scandinavian. Average daily highs of only 22C in the summer, lots of snow December to April, mountains, amazing standard of living, sexy women. Language would be a bitch to learn though.

It's great having a well with good water, no watering restrictions, no monthly bill, etc......, oh we have softener that uses salt that has iron remover. My pump did die 2 years ago but at that point we had been here 19 years and the folks who owned the house beforehand were here 10 years and they had never replaced it so let's call it a 30 year old pump, $1,800.00 to have it replaced comes out to a $60.00 a year cost.....cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father-in-law has very good well water. His neighbour has lousy water with a bad odour and not potable. He has a holding tank for trucked in drinking / cooking water. Water sewage and garbage collection cost me maybe $900 a year. In the grand scheme that is nothing where we are building it's just part of the property taxes.
