I have to compliment you on this idea! And I have been hiding/protecting
electrical stuff inside PVC for 40 years.
But planning ahead is better. In 1973 for our vacation time I deposited
wife and sons with in-laws and went hunting for land. Bought this place
for vacation land and retirement. Spent $350/acre for 65 acres. Retirement
is now here. I have 13 acre former corn field hill top for antennas and
paid taxes for what the Dept. of Revenue says is now worth $3,500/acre.
Since I was smart enough to choose a chronically depressed area cost of
living is about as low as you can get in the northern tier of states. And
I don't have to worry about hiding my GPS antenna! I only wish I had
started buying more numismatic gold earlier!
If you have children, warn them now!
