Dirtyhip Posted August 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2020 We have a little beagle on the property above. He does love barking at us. He should calm down after he gets used to activity on the property. The owners bring it in at night so no issue really. Property was mostly quiet today. It was strange plotting the home out, but we can't see the view due to the smoke. We know the topography, and the basic direction. This was just a rough measuring out of where the home will sit. Kinda funny, but we keep finding bottles of black velvet on the property. Does one of the locals drink and toss them, as to hide it from their family? Or I wonder if they toss it out of the car, on the way home. All these booze bottles are just off the dead end road. Black Velvet bottles, Corona, a Jack Daniels bottle. It's kind of comical. We also found a stuffed animal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lived at our new home for 1 1/2 years now. And then there was the 13 months to build the home, And before that we owed the lot for a few years. Just 2 weeks ago one of the neighbors told us (during our morning dog walk) the previous owners of our lot used it for outdoor parties. The neighbors were glad we purchased the lot.

He told us 7 to 8 months. We did loose 2 months to bad weather. October in 2016 was one of the rainiest October ever. And then January/February 2017 was cold and snowy. WoBG and I shoveled snow from the second floor at least twice. We were happy when the roof was finally on the home. The footings for the basement after some rain in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now the old shed is painted the same color as the gutters. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted August 23, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 23, 2020 While I was riding my bike to pick up cans along the camp road, I found many Captain Morgan bottles. Just trash, and I wasn't picking that up. Sad to see so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to tell them "Buy me this." I just bought a huge roll of stamps this morning for my thank you notes for new memberships. It felt good to spend money at USPS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
