    NO because the bears would wipe them out in no time.. We are infested with Black Bears and must not feed them or encourage them.. They then become a nuisance and we have no choice but to shoot them..

    Are you bothered at all by some wild animals ????

    Deer are a problem here. They ruined my garden last year. I'm trying to find a way to keep them away this summer.

    Are you interested in birds?

    I enjoy cardinals and bluejays that come into my yard everyday. And I do put out bird seed that they have to fight the squirrels for! ... have hummingbirds every once in a while too.
    What's most interesting are the very large birds around ... herons, hawks, owls, etc.

    Do you live near a lake or large body of water?

    Massey is on the shores of Lake Huron one of the Great lakes..
    We also have THOUSANDS of other lakes in our area for both fishing and boating..
    Personally, we don't live waterfront but only a very short drive to water..

    Having the choice, would you prefer living waterfront or near a mountain ??????

    I think the mountains are beautiful but, given a choice, I would have an oceanfront home at the beach.

    Same question

    We had the choice when we bought in Massey about 10 years ago.. We chose near the mountains because looking at the water is always the same while the mountain changes every season from white, to budding green, to green, to red and yellow in the fall.. The water is either water or ice..
    We also like the wild animals we have around here..

    Do you have city water in your house or well water ???................. also ...........
    do you have sewer system or a sceptic tank ?????

    We live 2 hours from Adelaide City ..Adelaide from memory has 10 reservoirs ..feed by rain falling in the Adelaide Hills ...If they become low water is pumped from the biggest river in Aust called the Murray River,it's 2,520 km long. It's pumped from a place called Morgan about 2 hours from Adelaide ..(opposite direction to us ) We have many above ground pipelines, used to pump water to storage tanks, in the particular town

    Another interesting fact I only found out about through volunteering at the museum ,dedicated to the hard working Cornish miners who immigrated to our area to work in the harsh dry conditions of copper mining ..at the time this area had no water at all ..water was pumped from the sea for the mines ....many died including children because of the lack of water ,and contamination of underground water tanks constructed by miners

    When we had our home built in 2006 our newly developed land was connected to the new proposed sewage system for overflow of the water from our septic system .. We are still required to have and maintain our septic by getting it emptied every five years ,but we are also charged $450 a year in sewage charges

    Very good question Steve it gives us a good understanding of how other members live ..

    I'd like to ask the same question ...

    Where we live in Massey, we have city water in our house which is great water.. The water comes from a mountain stream and is filtered and treated by the city before being piped to the houses.. It is really wonderful water which we enjoy drinking..
    We have a septic tank in our back yard with our own field bed.. The tank is relatively new as we had it replaced about 3 years ago.. it is a concrete tank.. We also had a new field bed done as well.. We now have a new septic system, approved, and it was all paid for by the government to the cost of just under $10,000.00.. We paid NOTHING !!..The old tank was removed but the old field bed is still there and will be there forever..

    Do you have a bottled water dispenser in your house for drinking ???
