In the spring, the frogs will drive you crazy with their noise.
I understand Tablerock was flooded/made in 1954 and the evidence I have found on our place would indicate this was cow pasture at one time. I have removed a lot of barbed wire, some is grown into trees as are some old fence posts. |
Virtually everything west of the Mississippi was cow pasture at one point, but it sounds to me like this dude is looking for someone to pay for renovations to his pond. You might try and be neighborly and see if you can plant some other kind of tree on the sidehills and in a couple years take out the cedars. Since he started the lawyering, you probably better have him sign something that indemnifies you after the tree planting, but if you can get a tree you like there, and keep his dumbass happy, it would be money better spent than a damned lawyer. And if the pond is leaking down some, there should be water available for the trees you plant.
