Does that mean we the unvetted foreigners can camp on the road as it's not your road? Asking for a friend 🥰

foreigners 🤣🤣💀 yeah yeah. i heard they speak Chinese and are from Africa but lived in Mexico. totally didn’t ask permission from the land owners. What ever shall we do!? 😱
@daiseemaesmith367721 күн бұрын
the road belongs to the county. and as far as camping, that’s a stretch, Slim. if you’re a local and would like to help us out getting some land cleared and flattened that would be amazing. is this friend you’re asking for offering to help us get our stuff up to our property? if so that’s amazing. you’re too kind. tell your “friend” we will take help any day of the week, just not sunday because that’s the lords day. don’t be shy. stop on by. 💁🏼♀️

The second floor wall still measures out perfect 24 foot. We have a gap due to a warped 2x4. Will it be okay to fill in with caulking? we can’t rebuild the 8ft section due to lack of funds and we have exactly the amount of wood we need to build. Just looking for a suggestion. We have the cabin wrapped in tyvek and will put up foam insulation. Definitely don’t need any gaps.
