Here is the road in and of course not all wet spots seen here. We did get a good start at brushing the road, getting dead-falls off and water drained.

A few more wet road spots. Many can be drained via shovel but a tactor n backhoe is really needed. The white thing in middle pic is a drainpipe.

When do you officially take possession?

Looks like we might be closing on Friday this week. We are speaking with the onwer as to when he'll be up so he can get there personal things out. Lots and lots of personal items still there. We found a pile of camp photos that appear to go back 25 years.

It would be nice if the old timer could make one last visit once you get the road in domesticated a bit.

Unless you want those things I'd make sure that the previous owner removes everything before closing. I speak from experience that moving a bunch of junk out of a new to you property is a lot of work and I wasn't doing it via a mile long driveway in poor condition.

I stand corrected.

lol no you're entirely correct
I was jokingly suggesting that this would be the solution to having to move a ton of junk out of that road but it's not something he's got or needs long-term!

We moved into our current house in early August and didn't insist that the previous owners remove all the stuff in the yard. Soccer goals, dilapidated trampoline, lots of random cinder blocks, old half rotted 6x6 and 8x8 lumber, etc. None of it seemed like a big deal but as a whole it was a pain in the butt. I had to disassemble and load it into a trailer and haul it 1/2 hour away to a landfill at $50/load, unload it, then plug the inevitable tire punctures that come with driving into the landfill. I still haven't finished. Moving is enough work by itself without adding trash removal to the todo list. I should have made it a condition of closing.
