It is too bad that they didn't buy your house, what with all the ex's around!!!
Right Judy,out of about 40 acers just in this area he got to keep about 14 acers and he doesn't have to move his cows, but because of the direction that the highway is going many people have lost their homes. The state does offer what the house/property is appraised at and not a penny more.
I am ok so far with the ex's being here, havn't given me any reason to want to move.

I am looking forward to the highway getting done, the highway i use now to go to/from work is getting very crowded what with the construction trucks and semis going to/from the place they get/take their grain and right next to that is an ethonal plant and they havn't even started to harvest their fields yet. Then there is Purdue University, when school starts again it will be busy with collage kids coming and going and whenever there is a home football/basketball game it is so bad but those are usually on a Sunday. All this traffic on a 2 lane highway gets a little scary some nights coming home.
