Essentially, this is what I think I have learned:

1 - I have an aerobic septic and need to be 50' away from that. I can point the sprinklers to only go backwards and to the right and that gives me more room. I placed the "do not cross line" about 60' to be safe.

2 - The lady next door owns the 3.5 acres behind us and has a pond that fills up from water flowing through my tract, but she never sealed it and while she claims it was "designed by a professional"... imo... adding the island, no dock, whatever.. it just looks bad and useless. Again, my opinion.. but, it is hers and while we discussed working together to make it awesome.. I am not sure I want to put money into someone else's pond.

Here is a picture of my top down area. I added a barn / man-cave which I made a sorta blue outline for, you get the idea.

Debating if that is too close to the house, will there be enough room for the dogs to play etc...

So.. just in the "what if" phase.. 5 or more acres would have been better, but it is what it is wink
