If by "plans" you mean the grass and such... it is already in the works. The site is being prepared now. A large part of an acre is being re-leveled for the house and yard. the surrounding area is then being setup for drainage into the 1/4 acre pond, topsoil gets spread back over everything, and the seed i will pick up tonight will be planted in the nice black soil. Just prior to a couple days of light rain if possible.

Fire isn't really all that much of an issue. But seeing as I come from the mountains where it is... i will have about 1/2 acre of lawn around the house/garage/kennel with irrigation available. If I end up using spring burns once in a while, I might need the safety. My wife has asthma though, so I highly doubt I will be burning. We ask the guy farming the field not to burn either.

The grass seed is expensive, but I will be collecting my own seed each season and spreading that once I have some growing. That cuts down on the cost by a lot, but it does make it take longer.
