I'm stuck once again at a receiving plant.  Hardly unusual for this job, but it is unusual for this particular plant.  When they order, they need it now.  It was quite surprising when I got to the gate, called security and they said "they're not ready for you yet, we'll call you when they are".  That is never a good message to hear - at least not if you want to get the truck unloaded and get back on down the road.  Which is what I want to do.  

I'm already getting close to the point of no return - when I don't have enough hours left in the day to get back to the minimum place I need to get to so I can make it home tomorrow.  Once we pass that, I'm all for staying here all night long, otherwise it's just a waste of my time, lose a day I could have gotten a run going somewhere else.  

I guessed a 5 hour wait - just a thing that came out of the blue and previous experience waiting at plants. So far I'm 3 hours and 15 minutes.  I could still make it back to the other side of Atlanta even with a 2 hour unload, but that minimum time line is approaching fast.  Oh well.  I've got plenty of food at least, I'm sitting inside the plant in a tanker parking lot.  

In other news, I received a text from the realtor today.  She said she had talked to Cale - the lender - and he said he was looking at closing on the 21st if all goes well.  16 days from now.  Still a long time.  I did not contact either the realtor or the lender - I decided I wasn't going to ask anyone anything until they had something for me. 

It's appearing as tho a septic system is going to be quite costly even for a small operation.  I'm not 100% about that yet, but that's what it looks like.  That will alter my plans if true.  I'll have no choice but to try and get an SBA small business loan to put the park together. And if I do that, I'm asking for minimum 200k and get it all done at once. 80 pads, laundry room and shower house.  A small office and that would eat up that money.  Well, maybe even more than that, around 300k.  80 pads would cost a lot of money - but that's do or die.  In Texas, I found out, if you don't have sewer access to every pad, you have to have at least a waste dump site.  

So you still have to have a septic system.  Or possibly just a large tank that you can have pumped out.  I'll have to look into that, but once this property closes I'll be getting a professional over there to give me a quote on installing a system. I've got to have something.  People won't want to come to a park that doesn't have any kind of facility to get rid of black water tank - human waste - and as far as I could read it's mandatory to have something available at any park you put up.  I am going to check into see if that giant facility up the street somehow managed to get a utility to run sewer line there.  It's a long shot, they probably have a big septic system, but you never know.  

Revised.  I was looking at a site that I thought was for the state of Texas, turns out it's county restrictions on RV parks in a different county than what this is in.  This county has no restrictions, they don't care lol. They just tell you that you have to abide by state codes.  I've read the state codes.  Basically, if a septic system is going to cost too much to begin with to supply to each site, then I will either have a dump station with a septic system or an underground holding tank and have a truck empty it out whenever it fills up.  I have to have something.  

This is getting frustrating, I can't really do anything until the property closes.  This is why I was putting it out of my head, but she had to text me today with that information, lmao.  

I was trying to find information on that plant for sale, but I only found one place where it is listed and it doesn't say what utilities are available.  Just be nice if there was a utility sewer it hooked into, I could pay to have a line run to my property - which wouldn't be cheap but it would be a permanent solution and I wouldn't have to worry about it once installed.

The good news. After 4 hours they finally came and got me.  If it takes 2 hours to offload, I can still get 4 hours back to where I started and get home tomorrow.

The bad news, of which wasn't true last time I was in here: You have to sit inside the truck the entire time. Last time I was here, I waited outside of the truck so I wouldn't burn up inside of it. No, they don't let you run the truck.  

Whew.  Cold water at least.  Grin and bear it, it's worth $25 per hour waiting so that's some comfort lol.

I think I'll do more perusing on the internet.
