    Well, you are a fortunate man! Beulah I think means beautiful. Those who live there mostly know what a privilege it is. I’ve seen little hints but thought maybe you were in eastern Oregon or Washington. Heard you sorta mumble Beulah and then say turkeys and it clicked. Nice of you to share your knowledge of tools and smithing. Your organization and energy is admirable. Envy.

    Gorgeous property. We had property for a good number of years in the White Mountains of AZ. Water had to be hauled in as well. Once you get used to hauling in water, it is not that big a deal as long as you keep count of how much water you have in your holding tanks. Nice video tour.

    Thanks for the tour of your home, John! I live on 40 acres near Calhan, east of Colorado Springs. I have water (500 foot well), but no trees (except the Ponderosas and Cedars I planted 20 years ago). I noticed the water tank in your truck, so I wondered if you needed to haul water. We have some antelope, coyotes, deer, foxes and rabbits, but thankfully no bears. Have you seen a Bigfoot? If you can make his/her acquaintance, they would make a fantastic striker. :)

    How deep does your snow get there ?
    I find it Odd that there is no water there.... looks like there should be plenty but it's probably quite deep.... hauling water is no fun...I would see about a well or large catchment tank or something.... I grew up on 20 acres that had a natural spring we developed and a small pond.... and I learned that water is essential for living there ! no water and you can't even have a garden.... and that's half the reason to be out in the sticks ! I love your videos !
    keep it up !

    My wife and I are retired as well. Having owned a Construction Company for nearly 40 years, one would assume everything I build is finished in weeks if not days. Sadly no. When you do it for a living, that is the last thing you want to do on your time off. Slowly I've tried to finish projects I started 15 years ago. Trudge on. Even if they don't get finished, as long as you and yours are happy....Then all is well.
