I have seen those...they DO NOT interest me. A standard unit costs $85,000 with annual operating cost of $8,000 to $16,500. They claim a potential annual profit of up to $39,000...but I am highly skeptical of that number. I certainly wouldn't be able to make that much out here where I live.
I like your video. I watched it twice already and my big Weimaraner came over to watch it too, apparently attracted by the bird sounds. The other dogs ran to the back door and barked. Certainly you are not alone out there but have your own oasis and menagerie. The silence with the bird sounds is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing this john. The peace and quiet with bunnies and birds is a nice escape from the insanity of city life. I can't wait for the day I get to enjoy it in person full time.

ReplyDeleteCertainly pricey, and likely overly optimistic about the potential yield. Good for a chuckle anyway!
