So,,,,I called the banker and left a message for him to call me tonight,,,,no matter how late. Then I got out my saw. Not the little bow saw,,,,but the chain saw. I gassed it,,,,,,started it,,,,turned it off, filled the bar oil,,,,and tossed it in the truck. Straight down the tree, that they wanted me to tie up. Now, it's a nice stack of wood, 14" pieces, stacked right by the side of the road, with a new sign....
FREE FIREWOOD. R.I.P. Tree. You should not have left the protective confines of the tree refuge and invaded our space.
Banker called,,,, we talked,,,he worked,,,,,,called me back,,,, deal done.
I now have an option on the land in question owned by Mr. X. I also have a building permit applicaiton on file, to construct a school. (Meets current zoning). It's going to be an "Agriculture School, to train non-English speaking Americans entry level jobs in the poltry industry, complete with chicken houses and dormitories." And that is what is written on the application.
I'll never build it,,,, but I can't wait to hear them squeel when they find out next week that it is a locked deal,,,and there is nothing they can do about it. I can hear them not only crying about 4 chicken houses in the lots adjacent to their homes,,,,but the fact that "Non-English Speaking Americans", will be living there, in mass. Bet I get a wave next week,,,,but it will be the one finger kind.
I predict a glorious brew-hah at the council meetings,,,as they seek to block the permit application. Too bad for them,,,,schools are in the zoning. No zoning change, little chance to block it.
Once they sell their homes, (at below market value because of the housing crisis), or they BUY ME OUT,,,,,Mr. X can build his subdivsion with the blessings of any that are left.
The banker told me Mr. X could hardly talk long enough to agree to the deal, he was laughing so hard.
Best $500 I've spent in a long time.
