Yes, I know this was not the way it should have been handled:laughing:

And to top it off I had my attorney look over the ROW as I had written what I wanted in it. This was after his attorney had reworded what I wrote (you know all these legal words). He offered to pay for my attorney fee but I refused. And to top it off my attorney decided not to charge me:confused3: :thumbsup:. Of course he is running for an elected office and I have a prime lot that he want to put a big sign on...:laughing:

I do all I can, within reason, to help my neighbors, give them free produce, till a little garden spot, plow snow, and all offer to pay me. But I tell them the way I grew up neighbors helped neighbors.


But even though this ROW worked out good, I did have about 3 aces in my pocket that I could play if it went south.

Although never to this extent, this is how our little neck of the woods lives life.
We all get along and help each other out.
It just makes sense, and makes life just a little simpler.

You guys are so lucky to have neighbors that you can actually talk to. :thumbsup:

Since we are talking about neighbors here's my story. Once upon a time I could actually talk to mine, well 12 years ago anyway.

Seems a local HVAC co had installed a high tech propane furnace for the neighbor and several years later it started intermittently refusing to heat. Switching the power off and on reset the furnace and got it back online. He finally got fed up with the original installing co. and asked if the HVAC co that I worked with (family owned business) would look at and repair the problem.

I explained that intermittent problems were the hardest to get under control but agreed to send out a tech to have a look. Several trips later we were finally able to determine that the furnace had a motherboard problem. It wasn't obvious at 1st but finally gave us the clue that we needed to diagnose and pinpoint. I talked my supplier into exchanging the PC board for free even though the furnace was well out of warranty. The boards retail value at the time was $475. And when all was said and done our company charged him $200. total for the labor bill.

Guess he figured the techs all worked for free, the trucks were all paid for, we had no overhead whatsoever, gasoline was free, and we didn't need profit to stay in business cause he hasn't said a word to me or the wife since.

On the other hand he did pay the $200. and I have had 12+ years of silence, so maybe I should count my blessings. :laughing:
