It's best to just live out in the middle of nowhere, no neighbors to worry about . Unfortunately, even that doesn't work sometimes. recently, we were annexed into city limits and Lately, there's been some subdivisions going in a few miles down the road, and whenever the real estate agents are having trouble unloading the poorly built overpriced dumps, they call code enforcement on every house along the roads going to their overpriced subdivisions.This all used to be farmland and hillbilly heaven. Put in a bunch of new houses and there goes the neighborhood. I think that while we're still in the majority, we need to start a HOA here and make it a requirement that each dwelling have at least two no functioning automobiles with hoods removed in the yard and at least one non functioning major appliance on the porch, so we can do our bit to preserve traditional Ozark culture :-) Maybe we can get the historical society to step in on our behalf ? -Robert Kevin Kraly wrote: I don't necessarily like HOA's, but I was thinking of a similar strategy to that of your Mog friend.

Re: [MBZ] HOAs Re: anyone want a CHEAP 240D Fixer?
Around here if you have your junk, or whatever, before they pass the zoning, codes etc, you are grandfathered in so they cant do a thing about it. Off the top of my head there are at least 2 such instances smak in the middle of town. One guy had this big parcel of land right in the middle of town that he had old houses moved in, old cars, just about any kind of junk you can think of. I mean it was crammed in there. Looked like a junk yard. City couldnt do anything about it at all. He died several years ago and somehow the city ended up with the property and cleaned it up. All the junk is gone now but no telling how many millions that cost the city. The other example, guy is still there he has a regular house on a regular size lot in the middle of town that he basically has a car lot on, with lots of junk cars. Cant do anything about him either because he was around before there were regulations. There are many folks out in the coutry that are similar in areas that have zoning etc now but there were there before all that. --- Kaleb C.

There used to be a cylinder head shop/MB and others boneyard in Little Rock, on the outskirts, and when the city encroached on it, it went by-by.

Out where we are, all the folks around here run business out of their houses, some involve some heavy equipment, the guy behind me gets semi trucks delivering for his beverage machine business in the middle of the night.

Gardnerville/Minden is a nice area, pretty laid back semi-rural, but it's close enough to Carson City or even Reno if you want big city stuff.

Well, it looks like luck is going my way although I wasn't able to look at the W115 Diesels last night!! The guy wouldn't have been home when I got there. However, I've set up an appointment to look at them tomorrow at 3:00. If I get out there before he gets home from his meeting, he told me just to help myself and look things over to see if they appeal to me. At this point, he wants to get them off his hands, and there's lots of pressure from Wifey to make it happen as quickly as possible. Some guy came out Thursday with jumper cables trying to start both cars by hooking directly to the battery cable. Neither of them had batteries in them, so, of course, that didn't work. I'm preparing myself with a battery, some DIesel and a tool kit to see what I can do. He even offered to haul them on his flatbed trailer wherever they needed to go if I decided to buy them. I got a little more info about the 240D. It has a power sunroof, and it's an automatic. I'm sure I'll have all kinds of info to post once I have a chance to check out both cars.

Re: [MBZ] $700 Booher Mobile
I emailed the dude to see when I could take a look.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
In a message dated 7/28/2007 5:20:15 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Parked my SDL in the garage for about a week while we went to Jacksonville. When I came back found a small puddle of oil about 4 X 6 under the front left fender. (It's a leaking oil cooler hose which is getting fixed tomorrow) Anyway, what's the best way to get rid of that big black oil blotch left in the concrete in my garage? Anglelo, Regular clay based kitty litter will lift it out. You can grind the stuff into the concrete with the heel of an old shoe. Leave a fresh bunch for a couple days. The powder residue remaining will match the concrete pretty close.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
I've heard that pouring regular fertilizer (y'know, the bomb-making stuff) on it to sit will decompose the oil and remove the stain.
