    When I first saw the property, I was very impressed. It had water, electricity and fiber. That was worth $50,000! Why shouldn't you have amenities? You have wasted so much time going for water, washing clothes and waiting for batteries to charge. This purchase was a no brainer! I am so happy for your family!

I think listening to the price of what it would take to get water and electricity to your home on the mountain , there was no other choice, y’all did good! I’ll be praying for you and your family to get moved and settled again. God bless you all. I’ll be watching for your videos!

Now you can make a real future and Uncle C'mon has planned his future with Margarita and besides you are pretty close if you are needed. Better for the kids, better for you and a heck of a lot less work. Site the house HIGH, avoid water issues.
