What's the deal wi6that rear deck/ramp? Is it something like a back deck area? Just to hang out?

Toy hauler. Quad, dirt bikes, sxs, golf cart, motorcycle ect.


She is going to use of for storage of frequent stuff that isn't a daily need. We will use it for extra sleeping room, a screened patio, and motorcycles.

well, did something i didnt want to do, and have the suburban listed for sale! dont want to but, it wont pull the 5th wheel, so something is gonna have to go. am hoping that i can sell it for enough to buy the bus to make the next tow pig. but dont worry wont be going anywhere for a while still as we will have the denali and the tahoe for a while yet. thanks for hanging through the adventures!!

soon we should be getting some updates on the property on both sides and deal with the neighbors, also going to get that information request done and get the details from the police and body cam footage.

and got the burb in the yard for sale, and almost no bites!!! pretty sure the 8.1 mileage is scaring them away, as there has not even been low balls. in person or fb marketplace.

and one of the most anticipated posts!!! update on the neighbor issue!!!

IMG_20220617_141332118_HDR.jpg



i will say that the lines not buy them where not quite where i thought them to be. i own a little less to the north than i thought, but quite a bit more to the west and closer to all my neighbors north lines ( the top of the "T" shape goes behind them all. i need to get some pics of those spots yet, but the ones on the issue side of the property.....







it is hard to see because the pic is crap, but there are three stakes in line that go right through the area they have been using.


IMG_20220617_142816225.jpg




when they came out they knocked on the door to let them know they would be out there, and she agreed easily. he was not home. when they had the line figured for sure, they had the police show up just to be sure and act as a witness. at some point she called him at work and handed the phone to the crew ( and you know she had to be all "these stakes are through the middle of the yard". he was all please, thank you, and be sure to make the line clear so i know where i have to move by things! Like WTF?????


the next day i headed to a car show (took the bike as with work things i didnt expect to be able to go so never touched the car) and he left a note on the door all " didnt know we where over, may we buy the part we have been using, how long do we have to move the things..

at the end there was a subtle threat i think tho as he mentioned that if we didnt sell then there wasnt enough room long term for his animals and he would have to move, and his little brother would probably move in once he got out of prison. ( figures, that makes 3 brothers all from prison)


my thought is fine!! because i would like the currently one gone, and if the next one is fresh from prison, then will also probably be on parole of some sort, and will not be able to afford to act much of a fool without being sent back.



so here are a couple pics i grabbed in the woods of trees that had barb wire fence that they have consumed.
