I would love to get the land if I could also pull off solar at the same time. One saves me money in the long run (solar), the other... NYS taxes are terrible. I will lose money. If I play my cards right, my neighbors, who we get a long with well, will purchase the land and at some point want to break it up a little. Hopefully that point will be after the solar install is complete and I get the tax rebate. They don't want the swamp part, I do. I just cannot lay out the initial solar costs and land costs in the same year.

We live in the Finger Lakes, so I may be able to find a supplier of those same floats from Florida, or at least a marina that can order them to save on shipping. A lot of docks built in our area. Otherwise I will order from FL. Thanks.

Oh, I am paying $2.19 a gallon of propane since I locked in pricing in the middle of last summer. Going rates right now are between $3.50 and $5.75 depending on quantity user per year (bulk rates). Rates all over the place, you have to shop around. I wish I owned my own tank so I could barter a bit, but a 500gal tank is expensive, and every time you switch they nail you for an inspection.
