So, fill the place up with oil field workers. 

They're a different type of crowd and especially around here? They are mostly rednecks.  Now, I have nothing against rednecks, at all. They are usually decent people, but one wouldn't necessarily attribute them as "normal" by, say, a city dweller's idea of normalcy.  

The call yesterday was from an oil field worker. The dude that moved in - oil field worker.  A person replying to one of my local face book ad - I suspect he's an oil field worker, he didn't actually say that part, he just said I could fill the park up with them. 

So what's the problem? Well for one, they have odd hours.  They might be leaving for work at 2 am.  That isn't necessarily a problem as long as they make minimal noise when leaving the park.  The guy that moved in asked about that and that was my answer. Just keep it reasonable, we have quiet hours but that doesn't mean you don't live your life.  

Second, because of their odd hours, some of them may have "waking" hours that are in the middle of the night.  The potential here is that they all congregate and start making - a lot of noise.  I don't want to have to spend my days visiting with people asking them politely to keep then nose levels way down between the hours of 10:00 pm and 7:00 am.  

Now, if I had enough of them in there, I could follow through with my plan to simply build a fire pit, at the rear of the front of the property. It's at least 400 feet away, they could - drink probably - get loud and no one would care.  I'm going to take the man's advice and check out the groups he suggested "to name a few". If they allow such ads, I will post them. If they don't say one way or another, I will post them anyway and admins can take it down if they don't like it.  

When you are dealing with rednecks, perfection isn't necessarily an issue.  They are good-hearted people, at least the ones I have dealt with personally in my everyday goings and doings.  They very likely won't care if there isn't a bath house.  They might appreciate the social area with the fire pit, maybe even a built in BBQ grill.  The bath house is just a sticking issue because if you have one, RV'ers can take long, hot showers. In an RV, they can't take long hot showers unless they've installed one of those inline water heaters that heats the water up as it passes through it.  But a regular shower means they have room to move around and they don't have to take their storage items out of the shower stall in their RV. And a myriad of other reasons not worth going into here.

The point? Yes, I will seek these people out. This area is filled with them, other parks have them.  They usually have 2 residences, their RV and a house - on land - or an apartment. or whatever.  An actual, permanent structure.  They're looking to save money on the RV lots since they are paying for 2 residences.  This is where my park comes in.  These people aren't broke, they are traveling with 42 plus foot long, newer RV's that have all the fixings in them. Oil field work pays excellent money.  

I have a few things to get done today, by that token.  I need to cut up some more boards for the guy that is possibly coming in - he said he was but I'll believe it when I see him and go over and help the guy level his rig out.  They have it all tweaked out, I was looking at it yesterday. The whole thing just needs to be re-done from scratch. It's a small unit, it won't really take that much to get it level all the way around. 

I was thinking about this unlevel lots situation yesterday.  I will probably try to level some out, over time, by hand, with a shovel, but in the end? I'm just going to supply leveling board setups they will need to simply drive up on them and that will either get them level or close enough to it that the rest is easy peasy.   I'm not going to stress over it, I'm just going to offer a solution.  They actually sell them online, at $33 being the cheapest available, that's not going to happen right now.  I might buy one of them to see how well they work.  They have different levels you can stop the wheels on depending on how high you need to go.  Mine would probably have to go the full 5 inches - which should work, maybe only 4.  But you can imagine the tilt if you were just going to set up without leveling being 5 inches off.  

Well, we're off to church this morning.  The younger boy woke me up running through the house - a thing he has been told repeatedly - probably 1,000 times - not to do. I was pretty cranky, but a few cups of coffee and time got me past that point.  I don't think going to church should be used as some sort of thing that we only go if their behavior is good. Other things, definitely, but church? Not so much. I don't really feel like going that much, but since the property is right down the street and around the corner from the church, I am taking them.  It's only an hour and then I can get stuff done over there.
