    I'm not sure if you are talking to me or jos51700 but if I was snippy with you at one time you most certainly have my apology as well...and have a nice weekend.

    Disowning Family Members

    Crazy isn't it? About a half a million dollars difference just from what state the property is in within the confines of the same country. The real estate ad does it no justice as there are no pictures of the bedrooms, bathrooms, formal dining room, office, laundry room, garage or any pictures...

    310 Florida Dr, Crescent City, IL 60928 | Zillow This is what it looked like when we bought it before we moved in and started improving the property. It was built by a skilled contractor, his son and grandson. We really had no choice considering what happened with the family property so we...

    Disowning Family Members

    Iroquois County is one of the largest counties in Illinois...2nd or 3rd I believe. It is all agriculture, timber and small towns...so it is the least populated. That is why people like to live here. Inexpensive living, no neighbors, great hunting and fishing and lax government intrusion into...

    Dan, Unfortunately MAJORITY rules. There were 250 acres attached to the farmstead even though the land and farmstead were separated to be sold they were still legally bound to the one estate. Of course I would have bought the 2 rubes out. That was part of my life's work but we would have done it...

    Disowning Family Members

    That's the true spirit of a will and or trust. RESPECTING THE OWNERS WISHES. A trustee or designated person has a fiduciary responsibility to their mother, fathers or "owners" final wishes and to the beneficiaries. A trustee or person should act as if they were standing in the owner's shoes and...

    Thanks...it's over now. I have to drive by there quite often as it's 3 miles from my house on the main drag. I agree what can you say if you have already experienced it. It's like a lesson in futility but again thanks

    Disowning Family Members

    Without a doubt. You guys are in deeper than I was. It seemed simple to me as the proceeds of my mom's estate went into 3 trusts that theoretically could only be drafted from once a year at a fixed amount. The farm made that much to meet the payout and keep the land and homesite. The estate...

    Never look a gift horse in the mouth, It never ceases to amaze me how that kindness is expected as if you owed it to her. Ridiculous lack of gratitude.

    Disowning Family Members

    You just hit the nail right on the head. I couldn't buy them out. They wanted the immediate cash so I couldn't buy them out. There were 250 acres of farm ground. The total buyout would have been on me for 2/3 of the total property value to settle the estate. I didn't have ready cash in that...

    Disowning Family Members

    Honesty is the best policy there Kim. The one sister is a flight attendant that never cared much for her own family. The other one is a pretty big drinker married to a wealthy guy. That's what I could never figure out. On the surface neither one seemed to be hurting for money.

    Karrin and I had to move Lucky the farm dog from his home to our house. Some people have no shame. That was my mom and Lucky feeding the Koi and Goldfish. We had a sump pump and filter at one end of the pond and piping buried under the landscaping mounds to the other end. There the water...

    Disowning Family Members

    We did all the work ourselves. Many of the trees came from the DNR for reduced pricing. The only thing I can remember contracting is the windmill. We found an Amish windmill pro that climbed and rebuilt the head of the windmill. We had to drive to pick him up and take him home as he did not have...

    Steve, We could have continued farming it and kept the property and annual income for life. They voted to liquidate and run with the money. Illinois majority rules 2 against one!

    64 barracuda 273

    we had a 67 Barracuda with a 318 which was actually my first car. We saw it for sale next to a barn on old highway 41 in Indiana near the Morocco Indiana Drag strip. $400.00 cash LOL Those were the good old days. Now a Layson's tail lamp housing would cost that much. The owner was a retired...

    64 barracuda 273

    I've never personally seen various year 2 bbl 318's on a Dyno. Different sources say 150 to 230 horse so as it is a MOPAR engine I went with the high side 230HP...LOL

    64 barracuda 273

    Keep the 273. You have a fine forged bottom end and factory mechanical lifters. Put commando pistons and cam in the old girl and you will be making 5 more horsepower than a stock 318. Or put a d dart spec cam in her and you will be making 45 more horsepower than a 318. The 318 also never came...

    I have never used the SEM products but they have excellent reviews. Head to head even favors Sems to VHT in some cases. All other top end restorers are saying Dupont Vinyl dye applied with a Preval sprayer. Based on the reviews and members opinions I would definitely try the Sems on my next...

    Hello, 1965 Barracuda, first project

    Put a Barracuda grille and fenders on the old girl. She looks like she has good bones. We love these gen 1 cars. They are vastly underrated.
