kicking some bad ideas down the road

[bradbn4]

Yep; thinking about moving some place - thought I had a clue, and then someone yelled Squirrel! and all the good ideas left.

I have been looking at raw land out of state; thinking about selling my house after securing said land (and fixing it up pretty).

But I got this problem with some goodies I just don't want to leave unintended. Some of the locations I have found it is going to be
a royal pain just to get the truck there; so renting a U-Haul to move said goodies might pose an issue. So I am wondering is there any
company that does real secure storage for my dozen Ruger 10/22 rifles? Or can handle a shipment to the FFL once some of the dust gets
settled?

So far the best plan I found is to buy a mini cargo container - put it up on 4x4 timber, and weld the doors closed on site. Yea, I know the price
of that hardware is no where close to being cheap - but then I am OK with that. And anyone with a cut off wheel will be able to break in short work...
This still might be a good idea; but to store supplies on site; nothing as expensive as real wood...

My guess it will be a matter of keeping the local house as long as possible and toss the fun stuff in a true lock box in the bed of the pickup under a bunch
of stuff that needs to be moved.

And selling won't work; just because....

PVC tubes full of guns with endcaps glued shut and buried. I can sell you a metal detector and a GPS handheld.

If it's moving to AZ, i have a secure building .

Yep the pipe thing I already knew; and figured I would consider that then dump an empty min-conex box on top or pea gravel which is over the new sewer line.

The other thing would be to reduce the bulk; if I had said modular firearm I would break down the upper; pull the butstock off the lower and that would be easier to secure.

click, click, click - checking on land in AZ - what are the water rules for wells?

You have more than one if you head down here, meaning I could help as well.

The places that look good, you can't get to, or can't afford, or no water..... Who knew looking for 4 - 25 acres would be that hard to find.
One second; ok - all that time I spent looking in Texas - got it that real good land deal and a rider; no one was allowed to
to live on the property. If it was easy finding a place you wanted to live; I would have already have moved.

That rail road car in AZ is starting to look mighty good to me; or maybe that abandon cement mixing facility.

I'd just find a place with power and water, pull an RV on it. Build a building later. There were a few steel barns with apartments inside for sale around the South Park area 10 years ago for cheap. Crazy prices right now with the pandemic, folks in the big cities moving out due to density. Good luck with your move. Link below was an offering in 2011.

Yep - that would be my current plan, search option was WY, 2 acres mini - max 50 with no house, but manufactured home ok as an option. Need at lest an improved gravel road to access. Desire city within 50 miles. Power needs to be at least road side for access.

My version of city is Post Office + 3 gas stations.

If there is a home, it needs at least well water.

With no house / pad / water - I capped out at 75k for the land. Then I bumped it to 125k.


Oh, I figure I could spot something, something at 100k point. Add power, pad, water, septic later....I know funny me...

P.S. That link was cool - sort of modified garage design from what it looks like. One good option is to drop an over constructed garage to live out of as I figure out the rest of the game plan.

Check out MO, I found 3 acres in the middle of the state for a good price, under $10K

Far enough away from KC and STL so that you wouldn’t even know they existed

Mobiles depreciate worse than cars. Get a house or barndominuim or about any other type of construction
