So my pro photographer took the photos and said they will be available shortly. She enhances them - or in this case at the very least blotting out a few license plate numbers (I wanted to show a long 5th wheel with the pickup detached from it, parked in front of it and still room to spare on the pad - that was there yesterday, I suspect they are gone by now).
She took photos of everything, including fresh deer tracks. They must be coming over there every day - or probably night actually - because there are fresh tracks daily. It's a good sell point, I think, that they are coming that far out into the open to eat grass. I assume that's why they are there and tho I don't particularly want the grass eaten up, I doubt they eat it all the way to the ground. I have my deer-goats coming and mowing the lawns lol.
She also suggested going to the walking trails and getting some pics. Yes, great idea! I told them where to go and that they shouldn't have to go very far into the trail system to get some great pics.
While they were there, the family delivering the cord of wood showed up. Nicely seasoned oak, a little more than a full cord, I was happy. Once the photographer came back, I suggested that if the cord people need some pro photos, there is the person to do it for you! The lady of the family said why yes, yes we do need some good shots of our horses! They began talking back and forth. The wood is just a side hustle for the teenaged boy who is going to the local state college to learn to become a lineman (aerial electricity). He decided he wanted to just sell wood instead of going and finding a job locally while he does his studies.
Anyway, the family sells show horses, amazingly, and want some quality photos to post.
I am going to flood my pages with photos. Deer tracks, lots, trailers, whatever she took that looks good. She has a high dollar camera that is a plus in and of itself.
The only thing bad about yesterday was learning that lot 5 isn't level. It is level going the long way, but side to side, it's pretty far off. There is so much gravel on those pads, I am just going to shovel gravel from one side to the other - which will be a lot of work but will save me renting a $350 machine to do it for me. I hadn't had that lot used before and it was disconcerting. I can definitely fix it, I just didn't know it was a problem. Lower one side a few inches and raise the other side, that should fix that problem or at the very least, come close to it enough that no one will care. All of these newer trailers have automatic leveling jacks or stabilizers.
Anyway, one more thing on the list. I will be checking all of the lots - tho I know at least some of them are nothing as far off as that one was. If too many are off, I'm going to have to have them come back in with the dozer and try and manipulate the gravel enough to bring it closer. I don't need it perfect, just close.
Lot 5 isn't close. The wheels were off the ground on the north side. That's bad and will earn negative reviews sooner or later. The man liked the park, the appearance, he didn't say much about the leveling problem but did point it out. I'm sorry, I'll be working to fix that. Not that that helps him any, but I wanted to show concern that it isn't acceptable and I will be working to fix it. Level lots are important.
