I sent an email to the town rep yesterday (as you know) that I would like to pick up the road bond either today or Monday. I guess he was away at meetings all week, so he hadn't been able to get back to me. Coincidentally, he called my Mom (because she works with said rep) and said that the lawyer should have it ready today or Monday. Yay! I've found that you have to get a little pushy with this town in order to get them to do anything... but at least this part is over!
I also emailed the guy that takes care of getting physical addresses yesterday since I hadn't heard back on the process for that. He asked me if I filled out paperwork, which I didn't know we had to, but he was great. He was like no problem, I'll bring it over to the property tomorrow and we can meet up then. Come to find out, he is one of my Dad's friends! So when I told Dad I was meeting him, he wanted to see him too. This guy was awesome. Dad launched into a conversation about what Mike and I had gone through just to get the driveway. He said that the road agent was an ass and really hard to work with. It cracked me up! He told me that he would've told the Road Agent to pound sand when we told him that the road agent wanted us to get the driveway engineered.
Mike was afraid that I was going to piss off the town if I got too pushy, but after talking to the emergency contact of Sharon, it only renewed my spirits to really go after them to get what we want. I don't disagree with Mike that we need to be careful and pick our fights carefully, but at the same time, we shouldn't back down either!
oh, p.s. The guy taking care of the physical address for us told us that we didn't need the second culvert, that it was just a waste. That also made me laugh, especially after how I told him we were trying to squeal out of getting the driveway engineered.
