We were hoping that the snow would be over.
Would that be snow on the ground or snow falling to the ground?

Most likely it will be the stuff already on the ground...depending on your elevation. That is roughly May, that you are talking of right? Depending on the elevation, could be still falling from the sky. You are talking Colville....I am not real familiar with Colville, but I do know it is a bit more "rugged". I do believe it is higher elevation than me too...Heather? Terrie? What do you think?

You also could hit a lot of snow just coming across the states to here. You really need to come out and do some driving around and make sure the area is what you are looking for. You never know, you may prefer somehwere else...Oregon, or SE WA, or ....who knows...It just seems scary coming out blindly not knowing the area.

June 1 is our goal but that can be pushed to later in June or July.

Seems like you should be able to report that, since he doesn't have privacy fencing...

They have. They put up arbovitas (sp?) to use as a privacy fence. There is a 6' allowance on privacy fences, but with the decks and his house sits just a hair higher then their's...it doesn't help. They have gone to the city board meeings....he was on the board. They ended up having to take photos (ick

), take notes, keep a record of all the doings of this whacko. He ended up getting kicked off the city board. I dont' remember all the outcome....but we just refer to him as the guy who BBQs nude.

When we sold popcorn for Cub Scouts one of the houses had a 4/5 year old boy that my boys called the naked boy, he would always come to the front door naked. This happen for 3 years. Now days he keeps his close on but is still known as the Naked Boy by us.

Years ago in our neighborhood there was a 3yr old boy the kids would call Nature Boy cause he was always running around his yard naked, there was no fence around their yard and it was kind of a busy street.

Actually, he is quite creepy. Friend has told me many a story. and I am not joking...he is BBQing nude. Their porches are side-by-side...he is out there in all his glory.

Hopefully he gets the right weiners on the grill!

Maybe he won't do this kind of thing if you have a whole bunch of "security " cameras mounted along the parameter of your house. You know, for security. Heck, you don't even have to hook it up.

We want buy land and we would like to pay around 1000 an acre, It just happens that almost all the land that is 1000 an acre is in Stevens, Ferry and Okanogan County. We picked Colville because population and it seems to be in the mountains and not a high desert. We want to be close to a town that has a Hospital (Boys will be Boys).



Would it be possible for some of you all to post some scenery photos of the areas around where you live?

This place is a steal...needs some work....but a great investment!
