Grumpy knickers.

I knew the neighbor next door to the parcel of land I wanted to buy was eyeballed by the neighbor, and I knew the current owner shut her down since he didn't want it lumped in with another chunk.  Today I met the woman.  She works in town hall.  She doesn't like me LOL

I was told that a septic system would cost a FORTUNE, that the well would cost a FORTUNE, that the drive would cost a FORTUNE.  I was also told my dogs wouldn't be an issue so long as "they stay in their place" and that she was going to wait for it to go into tax sales (the property is covered in delinquent taxes, quite a lot, actually) and then she would purchase it anyhow.  Interesting.

However, the current owner is interested in doing seller financing since the bank would want $20,000 regardless of loan type.  Um, no. Not happening. Oh, and I have to get the signature approval of EVERY department for the town, including the neighbor who doesn't like me.  I'm grinning, cause all that did was give me more dogged determination.

When all the doors are slammed in your face, jump out the window!
