Well, this is an interesting observation. Lee B. looked on the bing.com map satellite photos and found another previous water tank on top of the hill with pipes coming down. He thinks the rusted out tank and metal well casing closer to the house were not used by the previous owners, perhaps deserted in previous drought when the water table dropped. I need to wander around up on the hill some more and see if I can find this other well.
Riverside County can't find the Well Completion or Septic reports, so I have to pay people to start from scratch! Yes, it's frustrating. The trash company that serves Lake Elsinore sent a supervisor out today to see if they can "find" the property. Really, find the property. I gave them the address and street directions, but they were unable to find it. This time, I gave them APN, satellite maps, and country-fied landmark directions. I'll call them tomorrow to see when I can get a dumpster out there.
I bought a very old motorhome from somebody on Craigslist for $300 (another $500 to get it out there) because it has a 6.5 kilowatt generator and a propane fridge. Son Michael thinks it will serve really well for site living quarters; we'll see. Monday, the POD will be taken out to the property. We'll put the stuff in the garage workshop and padlock it. Hopefully, people will see that folks are working here, and will stop vandalizing the area; again, we'll see.

Good luck with the vandalizing. Unfortunately when property has been left alone for a while it's hard to get them to stop. We had problems when we were living on the 1100 acres in Gilroy. After a couple of months of being run off they stopped coming around but we were on top of it 24/7. It will help when you guys are living out there and someone is around full time.
ReplyDeleteHave fun trying to get the water and septic working. Sounds like it's a lot of work and headache.
Thanks. See my new post.
