Construction contractors, much like every other contractor usually leave a mess behind.

The farm has a major sewer line and major gas line traversing the property but no luck on the taps as previous original family wanted no part of city services.
Sewer tap is 50k and gas said not possible after it was installed.
The county road is half on farm property and extensive search has not found any easements or sale.
In 1865 the homesteaders donated 1 acre of land for school house and in 1960 the school building removed.
Pioneer family ask for and received the return of the acre because the deed explicitly said return if no longer used as school…

Some pics of the two pipelines going in , one only a temp water line, they already got it laid. The other had the ROW cleared now.
They broke the electric line going to our water well, they temp put it back up, and put their flags back up (they had gotten taken down to lay the stone).

Better view of water line thru the back 80 acres. THe clump on lower left corner, is foundation of a log house built in early 1800s
Where it leaves our property, they just cut the wire in the fence.. We don't have cows in there any more.

When negotiating with the lawyers for the oil/gas pipeline, they said "they won't put down stone for access, they will just put down timber mats to drive on" Boy were the lawyers wrong....... They do have to reclaim it, but if the road is in good shape when they are done, we might just keep it there.
Top of this pic is the after shoot of the new road....
