Baymule’s Journal

[farmerjan]

@Baymule, go to the sherriff's auction at the "Y".... seized vehicles and older county cars, and all that sort of stuff, go cheap most times.. get a cheap vehicle to drive around and keep the truck for the necessary trips... feed etc....

Did RE agent get any answers from title co?

Yup. FINALLY. They won’t issue title insurance without a survey. That is still 3 weeks out. They have known this for TWO MONTHS. Then WHY reset the closing date to yesterday, and not tell us that’s what they are waiting on? Stupid. We are getting the survey as fast as we can. Have to take a number and wait, surveys have been taking 3 months to get done.

Ok, got a supposedly firm date for survey to be completed. June 20.

Sellers are ok with me going ahead and putting up fence and pens for sheep and dogs. I won’t move them until I move, but that will give me a head start. I’ll go Sunday and get 4x4’s for skids to build cow panel hoop huts for sheep shelters. I’ll build 2. 1 for weaned ewe lambs, 1 for Ringo and his ewes. I’ll build them on site. Sheba and Sentry will be with sheep. I’ll make a place for Cooper the new ram.

Looks like I’ll be moving my surgery date again. I refuse to work at moving right up to my knee replacement surgery.

Sellers offered to rent the house to me until closing. I’m turning that down. It goes against my grain to pay rent on my future house. These are good people, but a tad on the greedy side. Their mindset is if they have something, it’s worth a whole lot of money. They offered me 2 very small portable buildings for $4,000. One of them had the bottom rotted out. I wouldn’t have it if it was free. It’s in that bad of shape. LOL I politely refused and they had to move them. So whatever figure they have in their fantasy world for rent, I’m not paying it. I’ll put my money in T-posts and wait for June after the 20th.

Be careful about putting in fence. They will have that too once it's on their property unless you have a contract.

It sounds like on the horses it's just not the right time or you're not well connected enough (or both!).

Can you bribe the surveyor? next question -- how did they parcel this out without a survey to record it? To subdivide "the powers that be" require this, as well as meeting any zoning concerns. This should already be a part of it all. If so, that solves your problems. If NOT, you better check the zoning regs before you build anything, to be sure this won't get worse. . As in, sub division not acceptable......just know this may not have been done.. FIRST THING MONDAY!!! Check division legality.

The agent should have checked it all before taking a listing!

As @rachels.haven says, do not fence it for them! If it blows, once part of land, no longer yours.

So sorry for all this.

I’m not too worried about running enough wire to make a sheep lot. I’m going to build two hoop huts on skids. It will save me having to haul them over there.

@Mini Horses Peggy (seller) did a Google earth overlay for a general idea of the 25 acres. Everything is an established fence line except for one span. That’s where it will be adjusted to be 25 acres.
No subdivision. Nobody would be that stupid, to put a subdivision on a gravel road. There is land available on paved roads for that.

I’m not worried about this deal falling apart. I’m not backing out. If they did, they would have to start all over. They are about half crazy now, with the delays. They sure don’t want to start all over.

Another realtor brought a man to see the 40 acres across the road that they own and are selling. Man insisted that he wanted the land with the double wide on it. Peggy said it is sold. Man argued, screaming at her. His realtor pulled it up on her cell phone to show him it’s pending. He had a wall eyed fit and insisted on seeing it anyway. Peggy cussed him and said it already belongs to someone else. LOL LOL They had a big screaming fight!

I’m not worried. It’s mine.

Glad they have your back!

Hope the nasty man doesn't become your neighbor.

I’m moving slow this morning. Slept until 7! Have fed sheep, let Anatolians out to potty, I’ll have to put them back up. Going to Sheriffs auction for entertainment, have a guy coming at 3 to look at work to be done on sons house. On second cup of coffee, need to get something to eat before I get out of here.

Friends met me halfway between our towns yesterday at Whataburger for a late lunch. They didn’t want me alone on my birthday without BJ. Very simple, but we had a great time.

@Baymule HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
