So behind and adjacent to my .4 acre there's a couple properties that had a single dilapidated house, and were very neglected by the owner.  A couple months ago this house was demolished by the owner because the township was always riding his ass about it.  Soon after, I was chatting with my other neighbor who also has property adjacent to those lots, and he was talking about wanting to buy it and pave the entire thing for a parking lot and storage garage.  His exact words to me were, "I realize it will be awfully close to our yards and not nice to look at, but hey, it would be a money maker."  He was dead wrong; there isn't a need for that in this particular area, but hell... once it is paved and an eyesore, it is paved and is an eyesore.

Well not in my back yard, goddamit.

So I found the owner and bought it myself and I close on it next week, on my birthday.  That's how I deal with NIMBY.

I bet my neighbor is gonna be pissed.

Maybe you should build a putt-putt golf course on it.

I don't know what that poor old blind man would do with it. Yes your neighbor is going blind. Have you seen some of his picnic tables lately? He makes enough money on the wishing wells, picnic tables and cheating campers that are to stupid to pick up there own firewood.

Thought has occurred to me.  Pretty sure I could put up a 300m KD range.

Someone cut the meadow today, without my knowledge.  The sale isn't final until the 28th.  I hope I am not expected to pay for it, since I was going to do it the 28th.

Probably going to be a property tax assessment that would mean a mighty fight, but I do not think the township cuts on sunday.  Did Dave do it for you?

Nope.  Dave said he saw someone on an orange garden tractor doing it.

Just got word, the owner had someone mowing the grass once a month.

But it doesn't matter, because now the guy wants more money, and the deal appears to be off.

Since it appears to be yours. Have you checked out that concrete lid with the hole in it. Believe it was a cistern or opening for the outdoor tiolet in the garage. Hopefully they caved it in when they did the house.
