The BFP Compound: Family Land

Medusa · 10-23-2011, 06:08 PM

Let's pretend that Jack and I finally just won the Arkansas Powerball for $173 million.

After taxes, that's about $100 million left over.

Let's pretend that we're building a compound on about 400 acres just north of where we currently live.

Would you want to live on a BFP compound?
What skills can you contribute?
Would you want to do community meals every night in the "Mess Hall"?
Would people still need to pay something into the system like rent, even if it was only nominal?
Do you think you'd get tired of living with family all year long?
What pro's and con's can you see to this idea?
What input do you have?

Let's speak it into the Universe!

I'd need some closet space.

Reasonable request!

WolfyOne · 10-23-2011, 06:23 PM

Count me in
I would like it to be a BFP community compound
I have cooking and baking skills
I'm a hard worker and would help in the garden I know will be created
I think if a person works FT on the compound, then no rent
If one chooses to work outside of it, then yes, rent
Bills still need to get paid after the purchase price of said compound
In order to survive for years to come, we'd have to sell our wares
A garden bounty after we take only what we'll use, can be sold to restaurants
Same goes for fresh eggs and milk
I mean, if we're going to do this right, we need some farm animals to sustain us
I think sitting down as a family and sharing a meal with conversation will be important to the longevity of the compound
I also think that as long as I have my own bedroom (my space) I'd never get tired of living as a unit
BTW, just make sure you put in plenty of bathrooms because we're going to need them

Oh and I'm thinking group health insurance will be mighty low once the Planet peeps start arriving to settle in
Perhaps we may even snag us a doctor and a nurse or 3 to live on this compound

Oh and the family that plays in the dirt together, stays together

The only con I see would be having to show someone of the premises because they don't want to pull their own weight

wolfbittenpoet · 10-23-2011, 06:25 PM

I cook, garden, and build most frame buildings. I also am very good at chopping wood.

Medusa · 10-23-2011, 06:27 PM

See, I love the idea of farm animals! Fresh eggs!

I keep envisioning a "game night" or something where we get together in an activity hall or a gym or something and play poker, board games, have karaoke, etc. Cause I'm cheesy like that!

The_Lady_Snow · 10-23-2011, 06:34 PM

Are we all living in the same houses?

Will we have guns?

Horses?

What if we haz kids?

Will cats be roaming all over?

Scorp · 10-23-2011, 06:43 PM

Hmmm, guns? I think it's a good idea if I "do not" own one wouldn't you agree Snowy?? Dusa?? Jack??

Our cats must be with us and, as an fyi...they are trained to be on leashes. Therefore, if cats are off limits, then we will not be moving to the compound.

Nobody puts "Bossy and Pippi in the corner"! (said in my best Patrick Swayze accent from "Dirty Dancing") Wait, lemme put my Boston spin on that...

"Nobody puts Bossy & Pippi in the corner you muthafuckas"!!

*Ahem* that's a lot better...

I'm leaving the gun owning to those who have experience in handling such things.

Horses - yes, sure just not on my side of the fence

Kidz is good....I likes Kidz

My catz be indoor kittehs, but I know freckles likes to roam outdoors,
Lil Dog yet to be owned but will be named Noodles will also be in indoor pet.

Figures that Scorps Kittehs are leash trained - it's the Boston way

at least it was when I lived there.

Can you imagine - if we truly could pull this off - what a fucking wonderful idea.

Course we must bug and snake proof Junie's abode so she will come too.

I can handle your farm part- hens, garden, whatever.

I would love it but I would definitely want some privacy. Its nice have a social center then everything spread out. Weekly pot lucks/meals but a community kitchen for those who always wanted to share or couldnt cook

princessbelle · 10-24-2011, 11:23 AM

Maybe have "game night". Like hide and seek and red rover and mother may i and all those fantastic games that make you squeal!!!!!!!

clay · 10-23-2011, 07:18 PM

good on no copperheads...but what about any other kinds of snakes....ie rattlers, etc...ewww I HATE snakes...makes me scream like a girl...(oh wait I AM a girl...n/m...lol)

Don't forget...TARANTULAS! [insert Psycho shower scene music here]

Just_G · 10-23-2011, 08:16 PM

I would love to have a workshop where I can build things and keep my tools. I would be able to team up with some of the other handy folks from here and build things/fix things/ and remodel things. I could also use my new degree to design houses/cottages to suit the residents. (using the sustainable design that I have been studying)

Coach Stappie would LOVE to get some kickball games going on a Saturday afternoon!

How fun would that be?!

Here's another vote for Oregon. It's a beautiful state and it's got forests, mountains and an Ocean!!!

blush · 10-23-2011, 06:27 PM

Honestly, though, I don't think communal life is for me. I love y'all, but I know my limits. We'll come visit!

princessbelle · 10-23-2011, 06:33 PM

Ohhhhhhhh *raises hand.

Count me in. I've always loved the idea of living in a compound anyway. All inclusive.

I volunteer to start the hospital wing up. We have a few more nurses on this site that will help i'm sure. I'll find a doc to visit a couple times a week and can video chat when needed. There are a few that owe me

We can give flu vaccines, fix booboos, treat resp problems and the like. Anything major we can transport you outta there by helicopter. We can take turns being oncall afterhours. We can have a small pharmacy with simple antibiotics, diabetic supplies and cold treatments. Oh and don't forget the vitamins!!!

Sharing bathrooms would be a pain. I vote for everyone having a room that includes a bathroom and shower.

Standing in line to teetee or brush my teeth is not my cuppa.

Medusa · 10-23-2011, 06:34 PM

*snort*

Princessbelle should get a special princess room just for saying "teetee"!

The_Lady_Snow · 10-23-2011, 06:36 PM

tee tee

WolfyOne · 10-23-2011, 06:44 PM

I'm thinking with 400 acres and builders, we could have houses or apartment buildings or just rooms
I suppose if you're paying rent, it'll be what you can afford
Kids should be allowed as well as any animal you may already have

I even like the idea of having the yearly reunions on the compound for those that don't want to live there
Renting rooms out for this reunion at great prices should bring many
besides everyone will be so envious, they'll want to see the place

Oh and June, I don't care where the place is built as long as we're all in it together

As for the too much togetherness...that's what vacations are for
