buying a 2nd house....need more land to fence in

[almaty 19]

the folks, who lived next to us, finally moved out..the house is old and needs major repairs...the landlord came by and we looked it over and decided to buy it on a 2 year loan and then we will tear it down/.////it will not be rented out..sanita and i, don't like neighbors and now we own the whole half of this side of the block.....anyway, sanita already has gotten an idea to fence it in..and i guess i be off this week-end fencing it...........damn,. i still have 4 fences left on our house.

....poor bosco, when i told him the news, he went on a 3 day drunk.,..thankfully, he drinks Stag and it is a cheap drunk...

township is ok with you tearing it down? they're not concerned about loss in their property tax revenues?

f##k them...i tear it down and then tell them...no, i hope to donate it to the fire dept, so they can burn it down.....for training............

seriously, though. that's not a problem?

out here the townships are so revenue-greedy they'd never approve the loss of a ratable.

not an issue in alton, if the house is old and needa llot of reapirs, theya re fine with tearing it down.....

i know a guy, who tears houses down for part of his business, he tore 8 down last summer...

nice.... out here, they will tear one house down and build a freakin' multifamily on it... more ratables, more money for the town...

It will be his property though. I'm not up on property/home ownership rules and regs, but unless he's buiding a recreation park for burros, or training camp for Kazakhstan army, what can they say?

I'm picturing a fenced maze around your property Bro Deanster.

If it has any salvageable architectural features, you can get someone to come remove those items before it's burned. Old doors, windows, entire stairways, etc will bring you some good money.

And Platy can always use parts.... lol

He could start a burro sanctuary.

Property rights mean very little in some parts of the country (I am in one of them). I am happy to hear that brother dean can really do this without getting ####### from the gubmint
