I'm just going to put the board fence along the road frontage. The city took some of Obama's Shovel Ready grant money and planted a bunch of landscape plants down the right of way in front of my property which happens to be in the county. Its one of the main entrances to the city and I have to admit it does look good. Don't know if Obama created any jobs for the citizens with this expenditure but I'm sure the Mexicans that did the work appreciated it. Of course they screwed up my survey corners three times doing the work but I bit my tongue and had the surveyor reset them - three times.
Anyhow, its not but a little over 800 feet and I think a board fence would really look nice with all the plants in front of it. A big plus is I won't have to worry about maintaining the weeds around the fence because the city will take care of all this during the maintenance of the beds. I think it will look nice and I think the chamber of commerce will be happy.

I picture a 20' high fence built like a fort with a draw bridge gate.
None of that but funnily enough I do have plans to build a wooden hanging bridge if I can get approval from the government but thinking about it a draw bridge might work all the same. :lol2:

Has someone said you couldn't build a board fence??
Not yet. But THEY don't know what I'm up to yet so just give them time. This is on the property I bought some years ago with plans of opening a farm to table business on. The government has given me nothing but grief every time I have done anything on the property. This is where I have the navigable stream which is also where I have plans of building the hanging suspension bridge for the children.
Do you know if there is some law preventing you from crossing navigable waters with a suspension bridge? You reckon this will be a threat to some muscles or something? Or maybe a lizard. Or a salamander. Probably need to give the EPD the $5000 they tried to shake me down on for the environmental impact plan they wanted when the screwed with me the last time I did something on this property. But lets not forget the Indians. Probably need to pay them to come out like you do on a cell phone tower to be sure I'm not desecrating some burial site. Am told that's only $10,000. And then the fee for the historic folks. Another $10,000 am told.
Or maybe I should keep my promise to the EPD agent where I promised him if he would just leave me alone I would promise not to build anything that would create any jobs for the 20% who are unemployed in our county. That would be the safe thing. Less stressful. If I did that I might just ought to give the property to the county like they asked me to. They said this would be a good gesture on my part to the citizens if I did this. I did offer to sell it to them though. At what price they asked. I thought it only fair they pay me $250,000/acre just like they had recently paid the chairman of the county commission for his property. And to condemn it like they did his so I wouldn't have to pay taxes on it. That only seems fair doesn't it? For some reason they didn't think so.
