It was probably dumb but Navin didn't feel like he existed until he found his name in the phone book.

After 6 months, I finally have an address sign (not much else) in front of our new property. Now it makes sense.

At least I got the tract-hoe out for a short spin today.

I feel you. My wife just submitted the paperwork to get our address assigned. All we know is that it will be less than 600 and odd.

Congrats!

I would be cautious. The county assigned my street address - way back when. Now - look it up on any internet mapping system. The "arrow" is approximately 300 feet North of my actual driveway. Maybe that's why many call - saying they are lost.

There's a lot more going on. Reason behind it all.

oosik, had the same issue with Google Earth, and they were super fast doing the correction.

Root Cause, some new folk are starting their home sites in my area, and seeing the excitement in their eyes reminded me of the pure joy of when we set up our address marker and Post Box. :)
