Do you have to get the "leach field" fixed before you can buy it?

No, it's in working order other than being really old and way too small.

How many were in the previous household of the septic system being discussed?
Here, the county goes by the number of bedrooms and number of people in the household when they are determining if the wastewater facility will get permit or not and if property changes owners, the system has to be re-evaluated to make sure it will meet the demands placed on it by the number in the new owner's household.
No such thing as being 'grandfathered in' once the property is sold in this county.

Just 2, house was in same family for generations. The couple had been married 66 years and died within an year of each other.
As we don't expect to move in until 12 to 18 months I don' t believe it will be an issue. We plan on gutting it and putting up dry wall, new electric, ect good chance it will go down to its bones then all new components.

Wow! Catching up. Very exciting that things seem to be working out on moving and that you sold some bunnies.
Is the plan for your mom to live in the house too or build her something? I’m also trying to recall...don’t you own your home so you’ll have to list and sell it too??

yes. well buyer backed out for last 5, then decided she could get 3... so hoping it works out this weekend. I bought more cages and they now are full as I divided the jrs again. And the youngest litters are now 4 weeks old! they grow way too fast.
as for the farm we plan on building a cottage or something similar for Mom. doing things with Mom we don't have to worry about selling ours until we have the house ready to move into. so that's good. I want to get over there and get some pictures of the corn crib. I'm absolutley obsessed with it. Its a metal sided double drive thru corn crib. It's 80' long, 28' wide and 3 stories. I've googled but can't find any similar buildings though DH says they're common around here he's never seen one so big. the sides are "stamped" and we're thinking it will make an awesome animal/hay barn. but we'll see. we need to open up the cribs and figure out just how it's all put together.
we did get DH and Joceyn a new house kitten. his name is Tiger

The bunnies are adorable!!.....I'm so glad that things are finally coming together for ya and there are structures to work with instead having to start from scratch without shelter for the animals....it'll be getting much cooler up that way here shortly......

Most of the farm houses around here use a standard 500 gallon LP tank. We bought ours off the propane company for a dollar/gallon. Afterward, we could shop around and pay cheapest rate and get a summer fill for cheaper. My folks had a 1000gallon tank for their house, but I couldn't hardly afford to fill one that big, so 500 is pretty common. If you have grain dryers like Promiseacres said, 1000gallons or bigger are common.

Says I have to log in to continue. I don't "do" FB so no kitten picture for me.
