Women Living alone

I have done it and loved every minute of it. It was hard at times. But if I had to do it again I would. There is nothing like the freedom of being your own boss. If I couldn't do something I had friends that were willing to help me get it done.

Thanks:)

Thing is not only would I be choosing to live alone Id be choosing to live in a different province, Id know no one, no family close either, plus Id be on 100 acres, no experience of any farming lol!

One part of me is like yes, I can do this, it will be fun, there are neighbours within walking distance, Im sure I could short term employ someone to show me the ropes, I mean I have never planted or tended fruit and veg in my life!

Id also have to find a job, hopefuly Id have enough to get by till I find one.

Then I think what if im sick or injured, what will I do then, what if I die an old cat lady lol!

Then I think Ill miss him, hes all Ive known, we have had many good times, Ive lived for years hating certain things about him why now am I cracking up?

Ugh, any encouragement or advice for or against, any women out there doing something similar?

Yes the physical stuff worries me, even pounding fence posts in after using a post auger isnt easy not with my back, I suppose you can hire people to do these things if you must.

The cold I dont think will bother me, I have to go out in it to work every day anyway, as long as you are dressed for it and take breaks its fine.

The place Ive fallen in love with, I just watched a walk through video, I still like the house, its small, open plan main floor heated by 4 cords wood a year, I really like the house, perfect size, hen house, couple barns, big enough but not set up for horses, one thing that has put me off is it only has 6 acres cleared, the rest is wooded with trails, perfect for riding, it also has 3 ponds, 1 stream fed, beautiful, but Id need more land cleared, not sure of costs involved in this, I assume Id have to get a huge digger to rip trees out by roots then its a year after that at least till it could be grazed on, Id need around 20 acres cleared at least, anyone know roughly the cost of that?.....then of course fenced!

My hormones were wonky last week this week Ive calmed down and am biding my time getting organised just incase, not ready yet, my minds all over.

That's the kind of thing that would worry me about having a place by myself. If I can't do something I have to pay someone to do it. Our septic tank had an issue at one acreage and my husband actually went down in there and fixed it, I can't imagine what it would have cost to have someone else do it and there's no way I would have or even known what to do. And when the pump went in the well, same thing. A huge tree fell over across the drive by the fence, there was no way around it. He got out the chain saw and cut it all up.
