We left around 6 am on April 18th and headed for Marion North Carolina in order to meet up with people in the town and county during the due diligence period of Scott’s property acquisition.
We arrived at the comfort inn around 6:15pm.
This was our first room. It was on the noisy side so we got a different room the second night. The hotel is in a makeover and workmen are not so quiet…plus we were on the highway side.
Next stop was to find some food which didn’t turn out too well timing wise as we chose to have chicken and KFC was out of white meat and Bojangles menu was to confusing. We wanted to get to the property prior to sunset. So we headed that way.
Next are the three holes Scott said the builder to dig for the perk test. These are needed so that the size if future home can be determined as far as bedrooms.
Next we took a walk around a bit and then got out the chairs to sit and relax.
Now it was time to eat. We were starved. There us a restaurant next to the hotel called FATZ. Most restaurants here are not what we are accustomed to and that being fried foods. So for one night we splurged, which didn’t sit well for one of us the next day.
Sorry I took no pics of this fried food.
Back to the hotel and up for day two…aff to the deeds office and the health department to pic up a plat map and health inspection sign to post for getting the perk tests done.
Then we had a pleasant surprise the project manager Tim came by and gave us some of his time to help us figure out possible house and dock placement. We were able to take another property walk.
Some fun at the development entrance.
As we had completed our plans for the day we moved on to do some sightseeing in nearby Ashville. We first arrived and found meter parking for a couple hours. By the time we wanted something to eat we had to find a new parking arrangement. We found a very nice garage
Mist of the shops are typical tourist gift and DIY..
So then it was onto eating and we found a really nice Brewery the name is a bit tricky and here I am posting this on 420.
Check out my lager on the right. It was pretty good. The food was absolutely delectable!
Day three was spent meeting with a guy from Duke Energy at the property, to see if a dock could go in, if the property acquisition goes through. We also went to the office of Burnette Contruction to look at some house designs for a possible future build.
For lunch we went to the Marina restaurant and had some great food. We also made arrangements to rent the pontoon on Saturday to explore the lake and the lakeside view of the property.
