I'd also like to note how great it is to have an administrator so involved in the community.Too often, I see admins of major communities either end up only doing the administration and losing sight of what everything is about, or spending all of their time policing members and whatnot, it's great to have someone who also just spends his time as part of the community, in the discussions, and everything else.

Have they ever talked about switching to wood bats?

<>I know of a guy from your neck of the woods that pocketed $5 million from a pre construction condo flip on Maui during the boom.

Please spare lecture on buying sight unseen and/or buying on ebay.

Just signed a contract on a log home on 2 acres (heavily wooded creek lot) in very desirable area of North Dallas.

The first rule of contracts: get the fee first.The second rule: sue everyone in sight and sit back and let them fight amongst themselves as to who is liable.

Knock on wood.

I was considering putting in some kind of hard floor, tile or wood in the office and living room.

I'm looking to expand my business into this neck of the woods and need to seek out a competent attorney before taking any subsequent steps.Thanks,Joey
