Unfortunately you're going to have to play nice until you get the building up and approved. If not you'll be jumping through hoops for years. Once it's up then we'll come down and throw one hell of a party. Tell Doug I said hi, hope he's doing better.

Hmmm What part of Fl are you in? I can visualize a nice shooting gallery on this property. I did check at the County, and there are no restrictions on "target shooting".

Hank, Doug is doing pretty good. The 4th knee replacement is the best one so far. He is scheduled to go in for the 3rd hip replacement in mid Feb.

Volusia County, roughly 1.5-2 hours east.

More from the big-shots down there. They have called a special HOA meeting for this Friday. The retired FBI supervisor, one of the ARB members that initally approved my building, has hired an attorney to represent him at the meeting. The old, cancer filled hag that doesn't like the size of the building, is bringing her attorney son to the meeting. She is recomending that he become the new attorney representing the HOA. My brother is the Pres of the HOA, but it appears they are going to try to get rid of him and put the 'retired artist" in his place. My brother took the blue-prints down to the other ARB member last night. She would'nt come out of the house and refused to look at the prints. I hate rich bastards like these people. They all think they are better than the guy that has worked his whole life with his hands. I'd bet that not a one of them has ever done an honest days work.

Glad he's doing better. 4th knee replacement, 3rd hip replacement, Doug ever think it might be time to slow down a little? Most people go through life on the original parts.

I'll give you a call and check your schedule. Maybe we can swing by your place on our way to Ft. Meyers if you're going to be there.
