Thanks for the comments! We just opted not to put in a garbage disposal because it just wasn't worth the extra expense. I know some people who went through the process of getting the extra expensive garbage disposal system and then say they never use it. I just don't see why they bothered! :) We are fortunate in this community to have city water. The city of Wetumpka is very proud of the quality of their water and send us an annual report each year with a comparison to Montgomery's water quality. Every year they point out how much cleaner ours is! Love from Fay Hi Sally!

It is a constant battle with the softened water system...otherwise we have brown sinks and toilet bowls! (Iron water) garbage disposals are not for country livin' either..I don't know about your set up but our disposal goes into a catch basin in the basement and then out into the field! it is separate from the septic system.... Last year we had to put in a new septic system as the people that built our house (25 years ago) did not have an adequate set-up! Hi Fay…great story on becoming a homesteader (aka country livin’)

I hope you come back soon. My husband added a photos page. It's hard to believe it used to look like that and it's hard to believe we've been here three years already! Thanks again, Love you, Fay Thanks Cindy!

No that isn't our land. That is an historic landmark in Wetumpka. The picture was taken from the riverfront park. It's a neat little park with a gazebo and picnic areas. There is a board trail winding around through the woods. Couldn't put all that at the head of the blog though! My husband has added a photos page with some pictures of me and one of the dogs standing in the field that has become our lawn. The bottom picture was after the house was completed and we had moved in. I hope you will keep reading! Love you, Fay Thanks for looking Karen! No that isn’t our land.
