Thanks for all the concern everyone its appreciated. When the wife & I bought the 20 acres @ 10,000 ft locals were po'ed from the beginning.... No bank would help with financing it because and I quote " I'm not helping the local in fracture" and they could not keep an eye on me because I was not within the code enforcement area. Hah... if I was I wouldn't have been allowed to build myself anyway. Insurance company also said I was "not a REAL contractor" and therefore was not given insurance on the structure as it was being built... They(local government) took it with A 150' highway easement, an APO, 2 years later a scenic corridor overlay and a no subdivision clause for land under 35 acres .... could have been worse on the subdivide next county over has a 1 square mile no sub provision! The SCO had in it a no snowmachine/camper/utility trailer etc unless it was APPROVED beforehand with county planner and was not within 1/2 mile of any state road.. also had a battle with BLM and the state because they had put a road across the land for public access....... ie eminent domain. now since the property was only 340' wide I did not have much left.. oh and did I mention the 60%, 47%, 40% and 22% tax increases for 4 years straight... and this was just for the house (no other buildings)....... I finally gave in and sold it myself when they would send people up to camp on the "right-of-ways" a few hundred ft from the house to harass us and me being me the sheriff would visit quite often and it was not them being threatened with arrest ..... :'( :'( yes..I am going to join the FSP, but this weekend I'm going to Ron Paul's rally and talk in Cheyenne... will chat again and thanks Kat, I will check on that in the next couple days...
