What the hell was I thinking! A tale of land development and our 1st rodeo in such.

Are you planning on making money on the project? If so that is a business model - good, bad or indifferent.

I wouldn't entirely agree with what you are stating in that given the opportunity to do it again we definitely would not follow the same process... as you might say... model, but I do understand it. This first go around is a means to an end. This first round is a learning process... not a business model. My partner and I stand to walk away with well into the high 6 figures each upon completion. We won't see that however till it starts getting released in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. Our work (the civil infrastructure) itself should be done in two but we have allowed for three.

Some of us refuse to give up on life and simply tread water. It’s much more exciting to try and swim to the other side and it feels so much better.

This is the best quote I've ever read!

That's the way I have lived my 67 years. Thank the lord I have been very fortunate to have been exposed to a wide variety of life over my years and I have embraced it all with zeal and a profound desire to learn. This development project is kind of a culmination of all of that. I know very well my behind probably shouldn't be taking such a project on but I have lived life with a philosophy of weighing the pros and cons and if I can survive or overcome the cons then it's worth pursuing. There are and will be many challenges on this project... but thus far... I have overcome each one that has presented itself. From learning and dealing with the civil aspects to extracting a D6 cat out of a creek who's track also came off and now this mishap with the scraper. It's one hurdle after another... the key for me... is overcoming them while keeping any down time to a bare minimum and learning from each one. I emphasize... time is the one thing I have on this project that most projects do not have.

Any updates on the project? Curious to see some pictures of the progress.

I too would like to see how you are progressing, I hope everything is going as planned.
