I know the feeling. I once owned 160 acres and kept it for 6 years. Had planned to build a house there for retirement. Then I realized how remote it was and that when I retired I would need to be closer to amenities and health care. Even though I knew the land was impractical I felt very sad when I sold it and went to ''visit'' it a couple of times and still think of it.Trying to decide, keep or sell.
Yeah, baby sisterYou know you can do this.
No sir it can’t.Yeah, baby sister
Can nay be helped
Yes, know what you mean, Gary... can't imagine us living in a subdivision or "town" after all these years. Nice thing is we have the land now and its close to the "everything we need" area. Nothing like a good country road and woods smells to bring you back to reality...back to nature. Plan to stay here hopefully until we go to the other side...lol. Hope you can build your dream cabin and enjoy!Well, after the dust settles, and we get that place, and I fulfill the projects in my head, I'm gonna get another piece of land.
Can't not.
Only, it'll be a get away
No longer gonna live out too far
But, I got cabin build fever
Doubt it'll ever leave me
I'm eyeballing a chunk of property on the top of a hill
Good views
No water
Wells would prolly be 2000 feet
No worries
Pack it in
I wanna build something with big windows
And maybe a rock fireplace
Never done that
This one place doesn't have as many trees
But what trees there are are ponderosa pine
Much bigger than the lodge pole pine
More stable

The views are pretty nice
Would need the Jeep to get to it
I like that
Not so many renegades
I can imagine me and my lady nestled on the couch, sipping something hot...or something with ice
Listening to the crackle of the fire
Looking out the window

I believe it's the Coos RiverMy daughter lived outside of Coos Bay on a mountain over looking a river. Don't remember the name
Yes,we also went for clams. I never did that before and it was so much fun. I didn't think a clam could move so fast . Had to be really quick digging them out..I believe it's the Coos River
Good fishing there
You got me tearing out my own hair!So, our broker is on this loan process
The only thing I can find fault with him is timing
Got an email from Podunk Bank of Assvania
I immediately junked it and blocked it, then deleted it
May be two hours later, my broker emailed me on the next few things I needed to do
One of them was to approve paperless docs from (you guessed it) Podunk Bank of Assvania
I immediately searched my delete file...nada
I searched and searched...nada
I called Verizon for help (ph# is 611)
The nice auto bot lady on the other end sweetly asked what I wanted to do by the numbers
After squeezing the phone reeeeal hard, I found the ability to calmly ask for a living breathing effing agent
Several 'I'm experiencing difficulty in understanding you' s later, I got a text message from wunna those customer service non-technicians
'Hi, I'm Jerry, how can I help you?'
I pecked away at my phone for the next 20 minutes, telling him what I needed
Then waited, watching the little dots string along like someone was typing
Only it didn't happen
I googled Verizon for a real phone number
dialed the 800-wer-busy
somehow, I was able to reach a human
Predictably, they asked me to do the obvious
I explained I was dumb, but not that effing dumb
He connected me with an angel
We dug into my PC, together
She was so cool
She couldn't resurrect what I'd deleted, but was able to unblock the email addy tucked into the guts of my PC
So, tomorrow is another day
But, I'll tell ya......it is scenes like today that drove me to the woods
Yeah, just got our updated finance approval.I hope you get your house before you go bald from tearing out your hair over banks and realtors!
woot woot!Yeah, just got our updated finance approval.
Our broker was beaming.
Said we really look good.
Now, the house.
Gotta order the appraisal tomorrow or the next day.
SHHHHH! They'll demand a deck, and their own water tinLove it! I like the perches on each side so they can sit out with an evening cocktail.
