Phew!

The past days have been quite nerve wracking for us.  A lot of what-if scenarios have been put into our heads by lawyers, real estate agents, etc.  This whole easement thing could be a very big problem if people are in the mood to fight.  People can always lawyer up and fight, even if they are in the wrong, and you have to suit up the same way.  Just gets expensive.

We decided to send all the BS to the sidelines and just talk to the neighbors like normal people.  We certainly want to start off on the right foot with them and playing legal games is not good ground.

So, Sandy called and spoke with them.  Plain and simple - they are cool people.  They don't want what is not theirs, they don't want to fight and they want to move on with their lives.  Apparently there is some bad blood between them and the seller.  Who knows how long it goes back, but they want to move on with their lives.

In short, they will happily sign an easement we draw up (no legal cost) and it will "go with the land" (so the township will be happy) and we can have it all done after we actually own the land. We'll sign over a few beers.


Anyway, they are going to be cool.  Phew!
