It's good to see somebody fight the 'politicians' and win. It's the same everywhere. In our town, there's 5 cell towers, all on property owned by board members, all in lousy locations. They get paid big bucks for the tower locations, but nobody else can get a permit for it.
Nice job on the tubing, you did a $20K job on it.. :laughing:

Thank you everyone for the complements. To be honest I did not have a choice in the matter I could not get my money back on the place as it was and I was not about to give up my land. I would like to think it is a nice place.
In this day and age it is hard to believe and attorney doing anything for free. But Craig went to at 8 the planning board meeting with me and at least 6 town board meetings, answered the second article 78, went to court with me 3 times. And tried negotiate a settlement with the neighbor for at least 8 months. Over time I gave given him about $1000 if that I can not remember. But I was very lucky to have him. There are some very good people out in the world, you just have to look.
I had been in the newspaper about 5 times and kind of famous or infamous, not sure which better describes it. After I won, people came up to me in tractor supply, Agway, Wal-mart who I did not know, and said we are so glade you did what you. It was hard to believe. People would call and leaves messages on answering machine.

Hey Bradm64 Thank you

Hey Jake98 I would like to think we did at least a $19,000 job on the tubing!

Hey Coyote machine, I did not show pictures of the really big rocks!

We now have finished the concrete and start to do some framing and in the mean time I am installing insulation. A friend of mine came up and installed my furnish for me and did a great a deal for me. Save me a ton of money. Many trips to home depot to pick stuff for bathroom and kitchen in the kennel. The floor at this point had at least or R17 and I was doing R19 in the I think that is 6 inches. I hired an electrician I do not electrical work.
Here is the boiler I bought for the barn and have never regretted it. I think it has paid for itself already.

Here are some pics I took took at the time. As you can see there is 3 used zones and one for future expansion space when I want it. I have an overhand on my barn that is 20 feet wide and has two sides.

While we are working on the inside we did the septic for kennel. I went with a two chamber 1200 tank to try and protect my leach fields. We did like a one Bedroom septic for kennel. Everything is so over built with those sand mound systems it costs a fortune.

You know Michelle, when you get done, you are going to be so bored with nothing to do and no challenges or crisis to solve. You'll have to go find a politician to pester just for fun.:laughing: Good for you! I wish you every success and hope you are soon surrounded by a kennel full of barking dogs.
