    As a bridge inspector, I can tell you that plenty of counties in Tennessee use the bottom of a train car as a bridge. Counties with little to no budget do it all the time and it will clear a very large distance and have a steel base to drive heavy equipment across.

    It is interesting to watch you address all of the problems that owning a property with large improvements (airport, lake, open countryside, etc.). I built an airport’ on a ranch that I managed back in the Seventies. It was 2640’ by 75’ at 3200’ above sea level. It worked well for our aircraft. We had both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Our problem was keeping people from making unauthorized landings and running all around the ranch. Our ranch was very private by design. The owner was quite wealthy and he didn’t want any unauthorized people on his property. My job was to keep them off among many other things. I marked the runway with large X’s making it a closed runway. That mostly stopped people from landing but occasionally someone would and say they didn’t understand what the large X was for. Normal BS.
    Good luck with your projects. Best Regards from an old man in his seventies.

      @@Kyle1237 we did have to prosecute on two occasions. The first pilot landed in his Maule with two mini bikes in back. They unloaded them and started running them all over the ranch. The ranch had quite an extensive road system to enhance firefighting efforts. We rarely had fires, but we were prepared. So I watched this guy and his son running up and down the roads leaving gates open and chasing cattle and some of my horses. The other person taxed to our fuel trailer and filled up his Cessna 190 with our fuel. They also took the batteries from my Hughes 500 and pulled a couple of radios. I wasn’t at the ranch when this all took place but my security system paged my beeper to tell me something was up. I was about an hour away so all I could do was check the recordings of their actions. It is really easy to track down someone with their N number easily visible on their airplane. I called the boss and he was at Montgomery field getting into his Twin Bonanza when the Cessna 190 landed at the same field. He was informed by the tower of their location on the field and he quickly met them with San Diego’s finest. They were promptly arrested and their airplane was confiscated. They were convicted with all of our evidence and I really can’t remember what their penalty was. It was almost 50 years ago.

The trees, wilderness and wildlife is what give properties like this one their charm. Keeps privacy between properties and adds character to the property.

It would be a local municipality issue, and the charge would be trespassing. It’s the same idea as if you landed a helicopter on someone’s property without permission and they filed a complaint. The FAA has nothing to do with that unless the act of landing itself was unsafe for whatever reason. Otherwise no FAA violation has been made.

      @@aaronermis4082 I completely agree. That’s because they clearly broke FAA regulation, as you stated.
      Which FAA regulation states that landing on a private airport runway without permission is against regulation? Honest question.

    The fewer right angles on exterior of a house the less the cost. Heavy D’s exterior has a lot of right angles. Put your money into a hurricane tolerant house as opposed to cosmetics. Congratulations on this new property!

      Lol what are you talking about?
      Corners are Corners whether they are 45° or 22.5°
      The process of siding, roofing, framing, and guttering is the same no matter if it's a right angle or not.
      Cost comes from square footage and material cost and time to complete.
      Past that comes any structural engineering for things like underground garages and stuff.
      Corners don't inherently add cost, they potentially add time, with time comes cost.

      @@asylumental pretty sure his point wasn't that exactly 45 degree angles cost the most lol... the point is, more angles = more time = more money

    Hey Squirrell : Deer can jump over that little fence easily... An 8' fence is minimum needed to keep them out. Love the airport - congrats guys, you all deserve it. Keep up the great work!
