Resolved Question: How do you approach an owner to purchase their house if it is not for sale?
I have become interested in a summer lake house in my area owned by a couple that lives in another area most of the year. It is not currently for sale. How do I approach them about whether or not they would consider selling the house? I do not know them well so I am not sure if personally contacting them is appropriate. Should I involve a realtor?
Resolved Question: Blocking a established drain . . . can you do it?
This is a good one, and one that not many people can answer. There’s not even a mention to this question in my state’s property legislation.
My neighborhood has a little problem that occurs maybe 4 to 5 times a year. The area, especially that of myself and my neighbors on each side, slightly slopes down from the road. Today we received 3 to 4 inches of rain in a 12 hour period. My neighbors and I get the rain run off from our neighbors across the street (if the ground will no longer absorbed the rain) as well as the rain off the street. The rain from the street is a result of the street drains inability to take in so much rain at one time. When this happens my backyard forms a few puddles. The neighbor behind me is the real loser here. Their yard becomes a small lake.
Let’s start where this whole problem began. When I purchased my home from the estate of some dear friends (the house never went on the market, we settled on a price and a attorney conducted the close). There was also a piece of land the original owner owned that I had the option to buy. The .25 acre lot falls behind my neighbors home, and everybody around here knows what goes on with the lot when it rains . . . it becomes a lake. For that reason, plus I didn’t won’t to pay city/county taxes on it and because I knew the many restrictions the town and the subdivision placed on the lot. Because I didn’t want it, the lot was tossed into the estate auction. The auctioneer disclosed the restrictions and the bidding began. It was also pointed out that the lot turned into the neighborhood reservoir when it rained There was some interest in the lot by my two neighbors who’s property also adjoined the small lot, but when the price went above $1,000 they stopped. Some woman that lives an hour away was bound and determined she was going to get that lot (I believe she went bid crazy) and got it for $1,500. Some time later she finally came back down to earth and got a reality check. She wanted to store firewood on the lot, couldn’t do that. She was going to place a mobile home on the lot, couldn’t do that. When she ran out of options, she mailed letters to the neighborhood offering to sell the lot for $3,000. She didn’t get any takers and a “For Sale” sign sat on the property of six months with no buyer. We can only guess her next action was done in some sort of retaliation. Between my property and my next door neighbor runs a ditch. No one dug this ditch. It was formed over the years by rain water. The ditch is actually the property line. In August, she dumped a load of mulch onto the ditch to prevent water from continuing down the ditch to her lot. She blocked the waters right of way that had been in place for over 40 years. First can she do that? Second, if the ditch is the property line how do you half it? After noticing the large amount of mulch building up in my backyard, I went, in the pouring rain, with my shovel and opened up the ditch, so the water could flow as always.
Has anyone else had to deal with this? If need be I’ll address my councilman and put it to a vote.
Thank you for reading this lengthy post, but I want to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible.

Fictional Narrative: Living in McTown.
I’m a reporter for the Denver Post, writing a feature story about small town living. Today, I am walking around McTown asking people to tell me a little about themselves and their lives here. I’ve talked with six people so far.
McTown is a small city in the farm belt, with a population of 20,000. Retail sales make up a large part of its economy, as it serves as a regional center for commerce, drawing shoppers from smaller rural communities within a 70 mile radius. Given that McTown is surrounded by farmland, there are quite a few businesses that provide agribusiness goods and services. For instance, there are dealerships for tractors and agricultural implements, chemical dealers, and grain storage facilities where farmers can sell commodity crops such as corn and wheat. There is also some light manufacturing which provides employment for unskilled workers.
The richest part of the town is a subdivision built around Lake Elmo. Most of the owners in the Lake Elmo district are bankers, business owners and professional people. A similar demographic also makes up the less ritzy district known as Apple Hill. The rest of the town is primarily middle class or working class, a mix of persons in various white collar, blue collar, retail, service and agribusiness employment.
Junior Helton, a happily married family man, who has worked as a salesman at Baxter Tractor Sales and Supply for the past 20 years. This is a great place to raise a family away from the distractions and temptations of city life. I’ve raised three kids here. We’ve not wanted for anything. My biggest worry right now is my youngest son. He went to McTown Community College for a year, then he dropped out and worked for a year, then he went to the trade school. Now he wants to be a musician. It seems like he just keeps trying on different roles without settling down into a particular role. It worries me. Why can’t he just pick one thing and stick with it?
Suzanne Jones, a divorced mother who works at McKain Grain Company. One of the best things about this place is that kids can play sports in high school. What I mean is that in Saint Louis, where we lived before, the schools are so big that only the best athletes can make the varsity team. Here, the average student-athlete has a chance. That’s really important because I don’t want my boys to grow up to be wimps. Sports, especially varsity team sports, really help boys get tough. It is a rough world for both men and women, but men are supposed to be tough. I want my boys to be tough, like my Daddy was.
Jenny Rodriguez, a junior at McTown high school. In a year, I’ll be gone from here. The people around here are so far behind the times that they won’t accept new things. Even the young people are negative. The school is very cliquish. The kids from Lake Elmo and Apple Hill treat the rest of us like a lower caste. Kids whose families work in agriculture are denigrated as “farmers” in a snide, snotty manner. Everyone hangs out in their own clique. There’s not much crosstalk. And me, being Hispanic and all, I’ve had a hard time fitting in. When we first moved here, when I was in the first grade, we had people coming by our house yelling stuff, cussing my Mom out. They’d yell “Get out of town”. Nobody would talk to us. It hasn’t really changed.
Sam Votapka, a retired factory foreman. Historically, this is one of the few places in this part of the farm belt that actually grew – at least initially – with the mechanization of agriculture. If you drive out of here in any direction, you’ll see the remnants of abandoned farm houses. When this region was first settled, farming was done with horses and manual labor. The region needed a fairly dense population to support farming. When tractors replaced horses, the population started to thin out. Farm jobs disappeared. Young people moved to cities. When the little communities around us had thinned out to the point that they could no longer support a variety of businesses, people started coming to McTown to buy things. We became a regional magnet for commerce. However, the depopulation trend has continued to the point where McTown can barely support a variety of businesses. I saw this coming thirty years ago. My daughter is a neurosurgeon in Chicago. I told her: “get out, there’s nothing around here worth staying for”. That’s what I still tell any young person.
Mary Smith, a married working mother of three. I took paralegal studies at McTown Community College, then got a job working for an attorney in town. It is interesting work, but it can put a big strain on me. I’m expected to stay late, if needed, but someone has to take care of my kids. My husband works the afternoon shift at the Rubber Plant, so he can’t take care of the kids after school. The difficulty in being a professional worker and a good mother is much harder than I ever im
