And he did

We arrived at the SSB.  Our "wonderful" neighbor had placed a metal rod across our cattle guard - blocking our entry and chained and locked our gate.  I so wish I had unlimited funds.  I would take him to court in a heartbeat.  I did send an email to the entire community, who were gearing up to man a booth at a local event.  They were having great difficulty finding people to work that booth - especially in this Texas heat.  I said there were going to be nine of us, and we could have come into town to help, but instead, we would be road building because of that moron's actions.

My BIL called to offer help to us., Yeah.  He and that man are fairly fast friends - if you can call it that.  They are, in reality, using one another.  BIL to get help on his place, and neighbor to keep his place in the community.

But with the help of my son, my SIL, and grandson we have our new road.  It is unfortunate though.  It goes right by my deceased SIL's house.  I really hate that, but her ex has been very generous about allowing it.
