Quoted: blount is a good ways from chilton. guess we wont be neighbors, im still planning on moving to autauga co this month Sorry man! One of the things we realized is that commuting to Bham from Chilton would be slightly better than suicide with a hot spoon. From north of Bham, we don't have as much traffic. I think you'll enjoy Autauga county. I spent my later youth in Prattville. I have a good bit of family there too, so I'll have to stop by once you get settled in. |

Being nosey here, but why did the needed repairs disqualify that place in Chilton? Was the owner unwilling to further reduce price, or another reason?
That place in Blount looks nice. |

Quoted: Being nosey here, but why did the needed repairs disqualify that place in Chilton? Was the owner unwilling to further reduce price, or another reason? That place in Blount looks nice. The owner was unwilling to reduce the price, or pay for the repairs. Which, honestly, makes sense. The property was a foreclosure, and the bank was trying to sell it "as is". I can't blame them for refusing to pay a $42k repair bill on a $140k property. That being said, it was a blessing in disguise, because the property we are trying to buy now is much better. |

Blount County, eh? We may be (practically) neighbors if this one goes through.

Quoted: Blount County, eh? We may be (practically) neighbors if this one goes through. Well, there goes your neighborhood! I'm really hoping this one goes through. I don't foresee any road-blocks, but hell, my luck hasn't been great. Our basic criteria has been to have enough room for the family, enough land for my dad to move over here, and for us to raise animals and crops, and a water source. You'd think that wouldn't be too hard, but here we are, almost 2 years after I started looking. |

We have 30something acres of family land on the Locust Fork border. Close to Jeff Co / Bham, but far enough that the metro flight is slow to catch up to the area, although it is definitely evident by the subdivisions popping up in Hayden closer to the interstate. |

Well with all the rain we had this weekend, you would definitely have found any leaks in the structure on Sunday. Plus you will also know which way everything drains, where standing water will collect, and what that creek looks like with heavy rains.

Congratulations on finding a better property. It took us a year to find ours.
The basement shelter and storage is awesome - food will store well, and everyone seems to forget the Russians still have thousands of nukes aimed at us |

I like that den, especially the wood floors.
PS - Looks like you will get a chance to really see what the water runoff/flood plain will be with Round 2 coming in shortly (or probably right now for you). |

I've been lurking around in this thread for a while. I would love to have a place out in the country one day. |

I share it with one other guy, so mostly, yea. He is old and doesn't drive, and has no family, so if there is traffic on the road, its mine, or its suspicious. |

I'm about 2 hours away from Clanton though. We ended up not getting the house in Jemison because of water damage and mold. We are now in Blount County. I get down that way pretty often though.

Cool - I read through the last couple of pages of this thread late this afternoon, the property looks wonderful. I forsee many a morning with hot coffee looking down at the deer sleeping in the field. I live in Birmingham but we have waterfront property on lake Mitchell. Let me know if you'd like to go fishing sometime and we'll setup a day. Cheers. |

So we are about 90% moved to the new house. Pics inbound once we get well moved in, and I'm going to drop by the local LEO hangout and discuss having an arfcom shoot this summer. |

You'll want to look in the pine level area (north of p-ville) for land, it might not be as cheap as it used to be, but its a nice area. Also, let me know if you need anything, I have a lot of family in P-ville. |
