340 Overheat / Radiator Geyser

Since you mentioned it (negativity alert)....Nice properties in the Nashville area are VERY hard to find unless you're a rich guy. This is a GREAT 2-acre property that checked all of my boxes after a 2-year search starting from before I even moved here. I didn't even go in the house. I don't care about the house since I'm building a barndominium anyhow. I made a lucrative offer immediately and it was accepted the same day. Inspection day...My agent calls and says that the inspector is there, someone is home, but he's not answering the door. Eventually he let us in. His girlfriend is still in bed. Inspector and I were there no more than 5 minutes before knowing that the house has to go. Hoarder conditions both inside and out. They are living there with no electricity. Closing was supposed to be 9/3 but they requested an extension until 9/16 so that the eviction process can get going. Perfect. The thing is, it looks like Mom croaked and one of the sons is living in the house, and I-think the other Brother "Daryll" is at war with him to get him out. $265k is at-stake here. The money has been wired, the utilities were set to be turned-on tomorrow, and then I get the message that they need another week and the Sheriff is "forcing him out" today. Aint gonna happen. He's in a protected class so the Sheriff can't lay a hand on him and he can stay as long as he wants. Even if he leaves, we all know he's gonna come back, then he's gonna be MY problem, and since I don't play golf I don't have a 9-iron to have fun with. It would regretfully have to be something much more sinister.
Meanwhile I had a cool idea to gut the house, leaving only a temporary kitchen/bath/bedroom to use as a crash pad while building, AND maybe creating a temporary garage so I can work on that POS Duster and also my 03 Subaru Baja which I LOVE but has had 3 trannys installed, ALL OF THEM BAD. I had to have that car shipped from CT to TN, then rent a 2nd truck so I could get back to TN with my little utility trailer. I was hoping to do this temp garage plan and rebuild the Subaru tranny and fix the Duster which can't be fixed, but now with the threat of this idiot coming back at any time, I might have to just break-out the wrecking ball for the house and not be able to do any serious work on any cars for a looooong time. Believe me there is waaaaay more to these stories than any of us have time for. It all started when the engine in the Subaru popped on Christmas Eve 2024.
