I just took down my seed feeders for winter feeding and got out my Hummingbird feeders out and getting ready to clean them up for this coming summer. I'm hoping to have a lot of birds this year. Last Fall I invested in 4 more new feeders when they went on sale so will have 10 up this year................

I gain several things by not just walking away. I gain the fact that I am going to know I was the one that turned his property in to Codes and maybe now even a fire inspection because maybe he will learn it's not right to mess over people just for profit and if the Codes does force him to do the repairs all of the greed of future profits will be spent for a while rewiring the entire complex and last but not least it will be a safer place for people to live in in the future. So yea, I could just walk away but I'm not going to.

Thanks Dave and I figure it out why I had not been getting any replys back. My CRS has been working overtime recently. You know that box in the message that says topic that you have to put something in before you send the message or it won't send it. Well the 4 folks I thought I sent messages to. Well I decided I would write these people again and when I opened up their message section there was the message I thought I had sent still waiting for a dummy to put something in the topic section. I added to that box and sent the original messages on. Maybe now they will write me back.............

One thing I would never do is vandalise any landlords property regardless of notice or no notice. I have to much class for that. When I leave here the cottage will be as good or better than when I moved in it. I have lived in places that had some really bad landlords but I still never damaged the property other than normal wear and tear. I have never mentioned doing any type of vandalism to this mans property. That has already been done by people working on the units. My reporting the issues found by my Electrical Contractor to the Codes department is actually doing a servce of preventing what could turn out to be harmful to any future tenants that may be living here when the fire burns them down. As far as extra time needed I have already checked and found out that the courts will give me an extra time up to 60 days in which to complete my move but won't be necessary.

Thanks Erik but I keep thinking I sent a few people messages and not got answers back but I can't find the ones I sent either so not sure I even sent them. Getting old is hell when you get CRS!!!

Well I need to renew HCP before June 18th but just got new DL so I won't do anything till I actually get moved and then will do change of address on both I guess. Hope I can do it all on line.

How do I find my messages I have sent? All I can find is ones I received.

Well I guess I need to get mine done before I have to move. Do I need to do a change of address when I move? If so can that be done by mail or on line? I guess I will need to change my DL to huh?

They are all in the attics in the two front units and not mine. This unit was built later and has it's own 200 amp breaker box and it's own meter base and weather head. The ones up front share 1 and it powers two boxes. The original glass fuse box in house built in 1945 and then the addition added in mid 60's which does have a 200 amp box.

Thanks CZ. I am going to be moving into a cottage about thr size of this one right behind my daughter and SIL's house so as he gets it back ready to live in. It has sat empty for about 15 years so it's gonna need a little Tender loving care before I can move in it but I could have moved in it 15 years ago and not been paying rent all these years. I just didn't want to live that far out in the country back then but I guess now that I am older I'm ready for some country life. I can set up a range out behid the house and burn some powder when I get ready to get some practice in. Can't do that here. They both work so getting the cottage ready will take a little while but I have that time here. Land Lord told me it would probably be late summer early Fall before he would be getting around to me.

Ok, the buyer has passed on the 10mm so if anyone that is planning on ordering any brass from me would like to have the 10mm brass they can have it free of charge wih their order. I found a few more pieces so now the number is 88 pieces.

Well according to my Electrical Contractor I won't have to do anything negative to my cottage. He said when Codes gets done processing all of the electrical disorders and dangers that are already done by previous additions contractors and not putting new service in but tying into the electrical system that was installed in 1945 will be more than enough to get the property condemed. He said he counted at least 20 to 25 hot wires exposed and not connected to anything. He tested them to see if they were hot and was shocked to see them all were hot. Then we have a building out back that is powered by one of the units but not on any breakers of fuse panel in original house so that means it is tied into a hot wire system feeding it with a direct hot and ground that is hooked in before any safety protection of fuse or breaker. Oh well, I will move when I am told to move and leave ths night mare to a really nice guy that deserves what follows.

Oh, don't get me wrong CZ. I plan on being very nice to him while I am still here. I will pay my rent on time and give my SIL time to get my new place fixed back up after being empty for about 12 years. I am not a vindictive person that would tear the place up and do all kinds of damage to it when I leave. SIL said it might take a couple months with the hours he is working. The Landlord has alrady told me it might be late summer early Fall before he will be serving me and then I will have another 30-60 days to vacant. I will do all my pay backs after I have vacated the place when I give all the violatiions that exist at this address to Codes and let Codes deal with him. I have learned just today that Codes folks here are not really nice people so as I have said Paybacks can be a Bitch You are correct, this is his property and he can do as he pleases with it but that does not mean I have to like it...............

Let me add another revelation I forgot to mention. There is an out building used for tenants to store stuff temporarily with a carport built off either side of the building. Some of the car port lights went out and I was going to put new bulbs in so I walk in my house and start looking for the breaker to turn the building off. Turned off every one of them and none of them control the building. I went up and ask the old woman if I could turn off her power for a couple seconds and she said yes, so while looking at the lights still lit I shut down her main and the lights remained on. I wanted till the truck driver came home and I ask him if he would cut his power to kill the building and he did bu the bulding remained lit up . So the building is getting power from a circuit in one of the houses but do nt run through any of the fuses or breakers in any of the powoer sources. I'm sure Codes will be interested in knowing that one also.

If I leave here I would almost guarantee he will be stuck with a worthless piece of property unless he spends a fortune to make it sellable or rentable. My buddy said Codes will probably make him rewire all three units. The original house wiring is total junk as the original house was built in the mid 40's and then when the first addition was added on in the mid 60's the guy doing the work tied the new wiring into the old. This one I am living in was the last one built and he converted a 2 car garage into this cottage and he just had to put a new roof on it a year ago and it is over 35 years old.

Ok the 10MM has been spoken for so it is gone

Well I'm sure its all about the mighty dollar whether he is going to flip them or just double the rent and rent them back out but if he is wanting to flip them you would assume it would look better to a potential buyer that the units are rented with very long term renters than trying to sell and empty complex but then I am convinced that the guy is an idiot regardless of his thinking. I have not been comfortable since he bought them because you never know how those people think to begin with. I do have an ace in the hole and you know what they say about Pay backs. I have enough evidence I could make his life a living hell that he has no clue about. When a previous owner had these units thye had an electrical issue and I had a buddy of mine that is a Professional Electrical Contractor help the people out and do the repair. He didn't tell the owners what he found but he said if the codes people ever went up in that attic they would condem the entire complex and stop anyone from renting here in any complex until the entire complex is rewired and inspected He said there are live wires all over the place just sticking up not attached to anything. He did a real look at it and said the place is a ticking time bomb and major fire just waiting to happen. Also in the rear of my cottage is a hallway connecting my cottage to the duplex because back years ago they would not let the original property owner rent this cottage until it was part of the duplex so he added the hall way which is also my fire escape doorway in case of fire it is required to have front and rear fire exits. This clown sealed up that hallway closing off my rear fire exit. They will make him remodel that and ad a back door to this cottage before he can rent it. Oh yea my electrical guy put in writing what he found up in the attic and it is what I will be giving to codes when I am gone. Remember what I said about Pay Backs???? Pretty hard to sell or rent a place that is condemed by Codes.

I Know what you mean when you say houses and rent have gone out of sight. I have been looking at places in areas I wouldn't let Darby my dog live in and they want $1200.00 a month for them. I am on my 5th landlord since moving in here and each time I held my breath and each time got great people and maybe a 25 buck a month rent increase. Fine, I can deal with that. When I met this guy when he was a prospect looking to buy I prayed he would not get it by my prayers went un answered that time.

Home cooked meal sounds good but she does not cook very much any more since all the kids have left the nest. I do more home cooking than she does. Plus she works and SIL works damn near 7 days a week so I will be living in the wildness and most of the time by myself. At least here I have neighbors I can visit with and count on should something happen. The only advantage I see is I can walk out my back door and burn some powder at a few targets once in a while cause it is definately in the country. I probably would not mind so much if I were 20 years younger. As it is now I am driving 62 miles one way to my doctor every 3 months. Now I will be driving about 140 one way. I am driving about 12 miles to Darby's vet. Can add at least another 70 one way to that trip so it will be about 82 one way.

He just went up on everyones rent 3 months ago. Mine went up $50.00 and that is the second increase since he bought the place. Did I mention the fact that he is a Foreigner from one of those arabic 3rd world countries. He says he is Jordian but I know thats a lie. They will never tell you the truth about what country they are from but I do know one thing for sure. He is scare to death of me. I have heard him arguing with the truck driver when he first served him. I have heard him arguing with the old womans family up front about it but he never argues with me about anything but always very very nice to me and he made sure when he told me about my future booting out he had like 4 people with him and he has never had anyone come with him before. He always comments on all the targets I have hangng all over the walls and asks me if I have been shooting recently when he comes by to pick up the rent. Even if I have not been I tell him yea yesterday and then I tell him I am still dead on and he changes the subject. He has stooped by a couple times when BT and I would be coming from the range and I would be open carry and he glances and at least 10 times at the gun while he is talking to me in the yard. I know it bothers him as he has told Ronnie, my next door neighbor a couple times about seeing my gun and Ronnie told him one time that a lot of times he probably doesn't see the other ones I have concealed and even though I don't Ronnie like to poke at the guy. Ronnie says the guys eyes got big when he said that. I just laughed. We are taking bets on whether he has the Kahoonas to hand me the eviction like he did the truck driver and he will to the old woman up front or will he have a LEO bring me mine. I'm betting it's a LEO.

Sometimes life just sucks and today is one of mine!! I moved into this cottage in 1997 and have made it my perect man cave. Live here through 4 different landlords and have always paid my rent erly or on time. I have not tore nothing up over the years but have repaired a few things more folks would have called the landlord to come and fix, like replacing a kitchen faucet of bathroom sink faucet but I just went and bought one and put it in. I figure it tore up on my watch so I fixed it n my watch. I have a buddy of mine that comes and cuts all the grass for the entire triplex and has since my mwer went down 7 years ago so landlord does not have to cut it or paid to have it cut. I just learned from the guy that use to live up front why he moved. He got an eviction notice he had 30 days to vacate because this newest landlord of 4 years was wanting to renovate that apartment that was already rented and guy was never late on his rent and was seldom home except on weekends because he drives truck. So today I learn that when he is done with that apartment he has told the other tennant that when he is done he will be evicting her so he can renovate an apartment that is already rented. The lady living there has been living there 23 years and is 76 years old and not in good health physically. She has never been late on her rent in 23 years but he is kicking her out. I found out today that when he has completed both of the front units I'm next so sometime between now and probably late Summer I will be getting my notice. He told me it won't be right away but yes he wants to renovate this unit also. I have never heard of a landlord kicking out tenants that have been living in the same place for 20+ years and never been late on their rent and not tearing the places up just kicking people out to remodel a place!!! I do have a place to go when the time comes but it's not where I want to live. I want to live right here. My daughter and SIL have a cottage behind their house I could have moved into 15 years ago and not had to pay any rent, just utilities but I stayed here because i like it here. So SIL has said he will fix the cottage up and make sure everything is working like it should and it will be ready when this BOZO kicks me out. I have already called my buddy and told him to quit cutting the grass so he will have to do it or pay to have it done. If he is going to evict me for that silly ass reason I will not make life easy for him. I have spent that last couple hours looking on line to see if there is any way I can fight him and make his life hell in court while I am still here once he serves me. So I don't know if any of y'all know where Alexandria is but thats where I will be living sooner or later. I think it has a Gordonsville mailing address. They don't have cable which thats fine but I have to see what kind of internet I can get out there besides phone dial up. I might end up putting in satelite internet but it is what it is. So anyway thats been my day so far. I hope every one else is having a better one than I am...........

If any of the guys that have said they wanted some of my brass reloads 10MM I will send you 70 pieces of 10mm free. It was all I found during the sorting.

I was going to guess an over size motar, but what ever it is I would not want to be on the receiving end of what ever it is throwing.......JMHO

I have never been one to support the taking away of anyones personal property by utility companies or expansion or so called improvements. The government does it often and I think it is wrong. I had a friend that owned a house he and his family lived in near Nashville Airport next to north/south runway glide path for planes landing and taking off and on take off it would shake the windows in his house. His house was in a housing developement that was there before that runway was built. There was 37 houses in it so everyone got together and filed a lawsuit to get something done and the airport lost and had to spend a few million dollars sound proofing all of the houses. It worked cause planes could take off and you could not hear or feel anything. About 8 years later the airport was looking at doing an expansion and in the long range plan that housing developement would be consumed by the airport and the people filed another suit. And again they won and the airport had 2 options. Kill the expansion or buy everyones house. My buddys house value went from about 95,000.00 to 880,000.00 and they settled on $685,000.00 and he sold and moved. It's not very often a lawsuit like these are won but I think the Airport didn't want to spend the money fighting it and then it be bad for them in the news but for what ever reason they just paid the prices they negoiated to with each home owner and so far the Airport has not made changes except bulldozed all the houses and leveled the land as far as i can tel last time I drove down I- 40.

I will admit I have been doing business with them for 20 years because a friend of mine use to work for them and I needed a new bank when I moved here. I have been looking at other banks in which to move my accounts to but there are so many to choose from I have no clue where to begin. I don't have much to move. Just my auto deposit for Social Security check and a small savings account. I guess the main reason I have not already done it is taking the time to just do it. Anyone here got any ideas on one bank over another lets hear some ideas..............
