5 Years,
I WISH!
I still have a minimum of 7 years of schooling left!
That is a nice thread Bruce!
I was wondering the logistics of going for an overly glorified Koi Pond approach, but the amount of water I would need to run through filters would be overwhelming if I wanted crystal clear water in a swimming pool sized setup, and would not be practical in a climate that goes through all four seasons.
I would spend too much time on maintenance. This has pretty much killed the swimming pool conversion type idea for me.
I am thinking that .25 to 1 acre might be doable. I guess it depends all on how well I would be doing financially.
The problem would lie in finding a property that is not more than a 30-45 minute drive (including traffic) commuting to work in the city where I could secure 3-5 acres of land for a reasonable price.
For the next few years I'll just ask questions and maybe chime in every once in awhile. I really do enjoy this forum.
