E4 No More

If you are a veteran there ARE companies that do 100% VA Construction loans. They have different income-to-debt ratios than if you were buying an existing home, but it's doable. Nations Lending is one such company. Call Ryan Workman at 615-349-4052 if you're interested. I know this because I looked into it but I found a new construction home that suits our needs.

I know. It's just that simply looking at the physical size of the bomb combined with its 50 Megatons yield it was a bit of a "No " reaction to their use of the adjective "huge."

Yeah, I already have one for buying an existing home through VA up to $417,000, but doing a VA Construction Loan is a lot harder, apparently. One challenge is finding a company that will actually do them. The other is the construction loan has different government bureaucratic BS rules on the back end making it harder to get it done. I either have to buy what's already built, or find a builder who will acquire the land and do the construction for me to close on it with a regular VA loan.

Well, damn! After 4 weeks of the lender screwing around with my pre-approval, the land has already come under contract. I'm back to the searching phase.

Sweet love of Pete! "The hydrogen bomb was air dropped by a Tu-95 bomber using huge fall-retardation parachute." No they had a huge fall-retardation parachute!

More like the Taliban throwing out goat and watching the media repeat it.

Oops!

I just use the nylon drift punch on mine. Works fine for front and rear: http://shop.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/general-gunsmith-tools/punches/nylon-drift-punches-sku080478000-513-2143.aspx?cm_mmc=PPC-_-Itwine-_-Google-_-080-478-000&gclid=CjwKEAjwz9HHBRDbopLGh-afzB4SJABY52oFFp67Pt47B7qL7VHZyjUabNvKrP-_IgXieMNUv3DXwhoCLcvw_wcB

The opposite was your boy, Clinton. We see how well ignoring them worked too.

Not fuel/air explosive according to Wiki. It's H-6. Specifications Weight 10,300 kg (22,600 lb) Length 9.1885 m (30 ft 1.75 in) Diameter 103 cm (40.5 in) Filling H-6 Filling weight 8,500 kg (18,700 lb) Blast yield 11 tons TNT (46 GJ) Composition H6 is a castable military explosive mixture composed of the following percentages by weight:[1] 44.0% RDX & nitrocellulose 29.5% TNT 21.0% powdered aluminium 5.0% paraffin wax as a phlegmatizing agent. 0.5% calcium chloride H6 is used in a number of military applications, notably underwater munitions (e.g. naval mines, depth charges and torpedoes) where it has generally replaced torpex, being less shock sensitive and having more stable storage characteristics. It is approximately 1.35 times more powerful than pure TNT.

I don't think it's a fuel/air bomb. It detonates when the probes on the front of it contact the ground.

My guess is after the Taliban drags in some women and children to kill and claim that they were killed by the bomb. A blast radius of 1 mile is no joke!

Yes, I use that site.

One of the driving reasons for me to move is to be able to shoot on my own land. I've always wanted to be able to go out my back door and plop down with my rifle and shoot all I want. Also, Davidson County land prices are crap.

Yes, quite a bit of time is taken just to get out of/into Lavergne. She comes and goes via Murfreesboro Road.

We'll be putting in the contract that they have to brush hog the land and remove some old hay-harvesting equipment first. There's a lot of overgrowth that includes small thorn trees and blackberry bushes by the creek -although I don't want all of the bushes removed. I like blackberries.

Heck, they can't drive in the sunshine either!

Thanks for all the replies so far!

We looked at some other land yesterday, and it turned out to be a 1.25 hour drive during rush hour. The land that I'm back to considering is a 50 minute drive during normal rush hour traffic. It's 5.6 acres with a creek and a wooded hillside on the back making about 2-3 acres unusable - other than for a good backstop for shooting my pistols. Where the house would be is an old hay field that is gently sloped from the street to the creek. The nice thing is that I've already confirmed that it has cable service for ISP, so working from home will be no problem for me. Gardens, I don't know about. My wife is more gimpy than I am so I doubt we'd have that - although she wants some fruit trees on the land. So given the size and description would you recommend a Z-turn or a tractor?

Yes, it actually takes us an hour to travel the 14.3 miles from our house in Lake Forrest to her work taking Murfreesboro Road on most days. It takes about 10 to 12 minutes just to get to the Interstate if we went that route. We actually look at real drive time. For instance, we are leaving from her work today to go look at some land and see what the real drive time is. EDIT: She's also looking for work in Murfreesboro because where's she's at now doesn't pay per fair market value. I work by the airport, but I can put in for full time remote.

Like the title says I'm looking for general advice/warnings. I'm looking at moving from the city environment to the country environment. I'm looking at property between 6 to 10 acres that's within an hour to the southeast my wife's work which is Gibson Guitars in Nashville. Generally speaking, what do I need to consider here? I'm harboring no desires to become a farmer although I wouldn't mind leasing some of the land for farming. I'm no hunter, but I'm not opposed to having a secondary source for meat should the need arise. Examples might be garden tractor vs large zero turn. ISP service is necessary, so there appears to be DSL vs WISP. Then there's things that I might have no clue about, so fire away.

It would depend on if they offer tall sizes for me. Bare midriff isn't a good look for me.

I love how they make the comment about no legal charges being considered. Said with sarcasm.
