So to clarify my curiosity, you currently do not have either livestock or complaining neighbors and you would like to have livestock, or you currently do have both livestock and complaining neighbors and you would like a larger lot so the neighbors would stop complaining?

@mitch2 I live in the suburban settlement where property sizes are up to half-acre and unfenced. Having livestock there will score pretty much as zoning violation. I’ve found smaller house on the bigger property at country side... I’ll be able to have my livestock there and nearly same dedicated listening room. I’ve had complains about my "Creeping Charlie" and other obnoxious weeds on which I’ve firmly responded that I’m not going to poison neither my loan nor my soil no matter how "safe" fertilizer products claim to be. I can just imagine how those Karens will react when they hear chicken at early AM! For my efforts to keep my soil free of any fertilizer or chemicals, I've been blessed to have wild life around me such as rabbits, chipmunks and significantly more birds!! After all in all, swapping houses seems to be a lot easier process than selling audiogear :-) |
for better or worse, i might be the poster boy for this question. i would do it, did do it, and glad i did it. in 2003 after seriously considering adding a dedicated listening room to my previous home, which had a very nice sounding but small den where i had my system, i did move to a larger home with a barn mostly for HiFi purposes to build an ultimate room. https://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue16/lavigneroom.htm so guilty as charged. now 20 years later it’s been a great ride. OTOH such a large commitment is not for everyone. you get so far down the hole it starts to run your life. you need a wife/partner who understands you and can support that. and in my case my kids had not provided me any grandkids to dote on so my extra time was mine to use. and i just retired (likely delayed a few years by my audio habit) and had my 50th Wedding anniversary this past year. so life is good. but careful what you ask for. |
