in the country are seeming to work a little different (than I'm used to).

I walked along the property and found a dirty piece of paper. Before disposing I had a closer look:




It says:

"Called in to do a final wastewater inspection.
Everything is to standard except the designated irrigation area needs to be established instead of a single outlet. ...
With compliments....Environmental Health Officer"

No official form, no statutory period, no threat of punishment.

Private Property!
Trespassers will be prosecuted!

These are the most common signs on gates. I bought this one:



The intruder may think his own part (he probably won't assume to be licked to death).

Every 3 months I receive the electricity bill. Last time I paid $ 219,11 this time I have to pay $ 792,98! The company added an "Average seasonal household usage data" comparing the usage in this billing period with households in my area:

1 Person household used 1242.0 kWh
2 Person household used 1476.0 kWh
4 Person household used 1953.0 kWh
6 Person household used 2430.0 kWh

I was using !!! 2543.0 kWh !!! Although I have been working at night for at least 2 days a week (when I didn't heat at all). But the electric heater is eating me up. And the missing insulation in this old transportable home. In the morning it has around 11 degrees inside. It can only become better in my new home!
