Great advice. What else ya got? Thanks, TennesseeGirl.
Yes, thanks. If possible, how to be careful, specifically? Ask locals? Google? Real estate attorneys?
Watch your tongue. lol
Hello there. AL is in my blood already!
We’ll be building soon in that sweet little corner bounded closest by NC.
Thanks for your take on the area. Christ is our Lord. We’ll do some detail research on the snakes, which we’ve heard warnings about from others too. Again, thanks and we could use more if you have it.
I think you cannot get Texas barbecue there so will have to settle for Fried catfish and wash down with Jack Daniels.
#7 What do the three stars on the Tennessee flag represent ?
Larry, Moe and Curly
Sound advice, because I was going to tell him there are no regulations and no taxes and no rules.
My wife wanted to move back to her ancestral land in Kentucky which has been in her family back into the early to mid 19th century. Truth be told as the crow flies we moved a touch over 4 miles but that 4 miles is mountains and wilderness mostly. I can go out my back door and walk a little under 2 miles and be in Virginia and a little under 3 miles and be in Tennessee.
Personally I would rather live across the border in TN as everything with few exceptions, is cheaper but the family land thing is strong with my wife, thus I’m in KY. Kentucky is beautiful, very pro-gun and pretty red state except for the two big cities. However KY would tax air and sunlight if it were possible.
If out in the fields or woods, watch for tics and another fun pack of critters are chiggers. They usually stay on a flower that looks like Queen Ann’s lace. Coyotes are plentiful and will take your small animals if you leave them out at night. Watch out for the 3 leafed plants, poison Ivy and oak. The ivy doesn’t bother me but oak eats me up.
If you are out in the country understand you are on your own for the most part. If you have to call the sheriff they may respond in 5 minutes or 45 minutes depending on where the nearest deputy is located. Develop friendships with your neighbors and get to know their vehicles and they will get to know yours and a country version of neighborhood watch kind of happens lol! This being said, if you don’t own a firearm buy one and learn how to use it. Crime isn’t bad but-but you need to be prepared to be on your own. That being said don’t look for the county to plow your road in a snow storm unless you’re on a major road and there will be no school if it snows much at all.
“at some point the ‘hills’ are tall enough to be called ‘mountains’”
I always chuckle when I hear “the mountain”. “Oh, they’re moving up on ‘the mountain’.” “They’re getting rain on ‘the mountain today.” “We’re lookin’ to build on ‘the mountain’.”
At first I would ask, “Which mountain?” Then I learned that every mountain is The Mountain. It’s all about context, and you just have to figure it out.
:D
If it’s near Gatlinburg, it’s my kinfolk.
Might wanna run anyway.
:D
The toothbrush must have been invented in Tennessee. That’s because if it were invented anywhere else it’d be called the teethbrush. joke
Kinda afraid to smile cuz just got all my teeth straightened. Maybe I shoulda saved the money lol
Be a friend. Visit with your neighbors. Do not isolate. Walk around in the neighborhood and say hello or hi or how are ya? Identify your-self and say where you are living. Be a part of the community. Be a friend.
“12 year court battle”
Holy cow. I’m surprised somebody didn’t just take the guy out behind the woodshed. Why do some folks demand to make other folk’s lives miserable? And then a crooked surveyor on top of that. Another wow. I’ve seen some crazy (illegal) stuff in real estate. The really heavy stuff leads to market downturns. You sure have to watch yourself.
LOL! Unless you get caught!
Stay thirsty, my friend.
