🌎 If you've always wanted to own land in Lawrence County Alabama,

[Bamabww]

here's your chance. My cousin has put her dad's place up for sale. If you have my book, there's a chapter about him near the end of the book. He was like a second dad to me while growing up. The sad part, he told me while we were building his cabin, if his daughter didn't move back home from Arizona, he was gonna deed this place to me. Dang it!
Just kidding, I'm glad she moved back and spent the last ten or so years with her dad before he passed away. 43 pictures of his 44 acres and cabin.

I got about a 1/4th of that...

The first pic is a baseball field. Commercial property?

Just damn.

No baseball field or commercial property. Not sure what you're talking about.

I'm saying I see a baseball field. I asked about commercial because that looks like a place you could make some cash with corporate retreats, weddings, etc.

It's me Wayne...looking at pictures and letting my mind wander. I thought this was "understood" between you and I.

I know why this is here. When is my question. Did he move the dirt to create these?

 

[TerryP]

It's a fucking pond?

 

[TerryP]

Ya see...I didn't look through all of it. I just glanced at the first picture and replied. Now I'm really on the rails...is the pond stocked?

Are these 8X8's?

Yes.prevented the field from washing away / creating big ditches.

Which direction is the swing facing?

How rich is that soil, you guess? Black, with a red'ish thing...

I miss the live function on the site...if those damn Brits and German's would update me...

South

Sandy, whitish loam type soil.

@Krimson I'll upkeep the place. I need a 1.1 million retainer. You can fish the pond like a time share. (when I'm not there.)

Afternoon sun on your back. Nice. The "slats" are interesting...lot of privacy there but it's like a shadow box fence. Open. I love that patio!

Sandy, whitish loam type soil.

That far north. Hmmph. I was thinking a little clay content.

The drive between Huntsville and Memphis along 72 was always one of those "natures wonders." You could see the soil changing the farther you drove west. At the house in H-ville I grew up in...pretty heavy clay content. (Yeah, dug a few gardens as a kid.)

What is this? I don't see plumbing. Or is that in the back of the pic...

 

[Bamabww]

When the foundation was being built to the cabin.

I'll farm it and catch fish and stock your freezer in exchange for an rv spot 6 months a year. You pay water and electric of course and provide the tractor, implements, and fuel.

Much of Alabama was terraced in the thirties for cotton for soil conservation. The University's aerial photography department is a trove of information, hopefully the link below takes you to the now submerged community of Easonville, save the ridge that is now my home. The aerial view reads like a topographical map, just as the drone view does above, following the contour lines.
