[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1845176, member: 18945"] As most know, I sold the old place in East Texas in 2022. I had taken it from a horrible tangled forest, cleared it, cleaned it up, planted grass, fenced and ran cattle and built a new house and some out buildings on it. It was hard to leave. Kept the 1 acre yard clean and mowed and mud and rut free. I kept things simple, didn't junk it up, kept the trash burned or hauled off. When I sold it, I made SURE the new owner was well aware of the flood potential, showed him pictures of the water and the high water marks of the shop door. That really peeved my realtor, but I knew it was the right thing to do. How I left it May 2022 google earth: [ATTACH type="full"]42212[/ATTACH] Realtor sale ad for it: [ATTACH type="full"]42213[/ATTACH] I like the new owner and so do the neighbors. He'll pitch in and help just about anyone there. I went back by there Thanksgiving 2022 and New Guy had torn down my 40x22 loafing shed/hay storage barn for some reason (top left of 1st picture but out of frame in 2nd picture) and had put up a big fabric building in it's place, plus bilt a greenhouse off the the right of the house, some other outbuildings and had begun accumulating lots of 'stuff'. Went back by there again last Christmas and the place was one huge muddy mess. He had moved the big fabric building and put it back up in a different location just behind the yard. Had hauled lots of heavy loads right thru the yard to the rear behind the little shop and everywhere ya looked was sand colored mud...and junk and old vehicles. He's not really a cow guy, & tho I didn't see any cattle I know he has the pasture leased out for ag exemption. Google earth presently: [ATTACH type="full"]42214[/ATTACH] Yeah, I know, not mine any more and I got a good price for it so I shouldn't care what New Guy does to it. Still, it really breaks my heart.
