These are the kids of the 'new' guy and his friends. Tom mentioned that his son doesn't have anyone to PLAY with in the apartment. I then walked them back to the pond on state land that is about 100 yards behind the shop. The weeds are high and the area needs cleaned up, but I saw the same 'gleam' in the eyes that I had when I 'discovered' this treasure!
The big BASS shot out of the weeds,making a series of >>>>>>>>'s across the top of the water.

Well, Tom was a contractor before he was a Marine.
He is willing to finish the drywall and paint the house if he doesn't have to renew his lease next week on the place he HATES!!
His dogs will have an acre yard to play in and his son will have 6 kids about his sons age to play with and be 100 YARDS from a road! However, they will be 150FEET from 5,000 ACRES of STATE land! (and 200 yards from the pond)
There is NO place like this ANYWHERE in this county! Except right here, and MY name is on the deed!

ANSWERED PRAYERS!!.

Tom didn't answer my calls the other day so I gave the house to the other couple. Wife and I stopped by the shop/farm to introduce the wife to the new tennants. They were busy painting the interior of the house and cleaning everything! Wife said that the 'air' was a lot fresher now! (meaning that the TENSION was gone) There were 3 adults and 2 kids painting the inside of the house!
Yea!! THIS guy has 'FRIENDS' that HELP him!
On the 'plus' side, the couple that ended up with the house are the same people that took the bigger shop! (Which has also been painted inside)
That way, all he has to do to 'go to work' is walk 200 feet.
He brought his 4 cyl dirt car down and I got a look at it.
It's really well done! 99 Cav 2 door in black. He also has a 'Hobby Stock' V-8 car that he just bought.

I had pulled my lift out to keep it from being stolen while the place was vacant. 2 days ago, my 'car dealer' friend said that he would trade his 'spare' lift for work. The lift will be earned by and belong to the new guy.
I will sell mine to my brother, where I can use it too.
