FINALLY, we've agreed on something. It's in a cookie cutter neighborhood and I never thought I'd live in one, but it's a cozy little pad with a nice sized backyard, 9 acres of fishing ponds, and a swimming pool... so my kids will always have something to do. It's also away from the city and I have several friends within a few miles.

Never would I have imagined picking a house would be so difficult. Now the fun begins when I start forking over money for the down payment, inspector, etc.

9 acres? That's gonna take you ages to cut the grass.

You should invest in some goats to eat it for you

No, the two fishing ponds are 9 acres lol. My dad had 4 acres and that was a day-long endeavor to cut when I was a teen.

The acre is a unit of land area used in the imperial and US customary systems. It is defined as the area of 1 chain by 1 furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to 1⁄640 of a square mile, 43,560 square feet, approximately 4,047 m2, or about 40% of a hectare.

210 feet by 210 feet square is just over an acre
If I have a square and all the sides are 1000m is that an acre?

So it's a pretty fucking big pond we are talking here?
This one is a little over 7 acres roughly and there's another 1.6 acre at the front of the neighborhood. Both are fully stocked with fish year round.

Shared, fully stocked all year long.
Nice...I have visions of my own pond and tinkering with what fish to stock it with

wonder what is in the ponds you are moving near?
