I'll consider this, but first I'll talk to the game commission about pooling the stream without diverting it, especially since the stream is technically a fresh water supply for the well my Father's house runs from.

My ultimate goal in building a home on my Father's property, especially so close to his house, is to keep myself as off-grid as possible, while helping him do the same. I'd honestly like to be able to live mostly without any expenditure (other than cars, food, etc.) beyond paying land taxes and helping my Father w/ Mortgage.

I'm hoping we can make a decent amount of electricity from micro-hydro. Every little bit helps, right?
