It was 2017 so I forget which town office it was but I requested to know about any easement claims that may be on the property as part of our due diligence when purchasing. I was told there aren't any and we haven't given permission for any since then.

Also, “fiber ready” is an upgrade and selling point on the Josie as opposed to outdated “cable/internet ready”

Thats Europe. This is America. We dont give a shit about our infrastructure enough to fund basic maintenance, let alone a whole new system-wide project

By "checked for any" do you mean you looked at the title exam for the property? Just because your deed didn't contain easement language doesn't mean that a deed into a prior owner did and somewhere in the chain of title the easement was accidentally omitted. I can't tell you how many deeds I've seen that were just cut & pasted from the last deed without any verification that the property description is accurate.

Did you just call this guy out because you don’t know slang like three times and then get mad when he finally took offense? Like 4 different comments from other people and 25 downvotes on this one thread telling you you’re being sensitive isn’t getting through, eh?

So you already have a fiber drop!
Not sure if this is still the case, but landlines through FiOS used to 100 percent recognize old rotary dial phones. If you even have the landline option, its fun to use old phones.

I mean, it's his lawn. You're entitled to your opinions of it, but personally, sounds to me like he wants both of us off it.

The salaries have to be higher because the cost of living/housing is higher in the Greater Boston area than the vast majority of the country.

I don’t have any experience with this union, but I have lots with other unions. There are often work change polls, seniority issues to work out along with grade changes and a bunch of other stuff before moving to external offerings. It’s a long and ridiculous process, especially if you have multiple unions working in the same group. The most I worked with was 5 unions and it took months to ‘get permission’ to hire someone externally. Hell, I wanted to move some machinery to a different building and it took me nearly a year because the union thought it was being done to ‘reduce overhead’ when I was literally just moving it to a different building to give them more room to work.

> Honestly? Let them do it.
I'm not letting a company decide that they will dig in my yard. If they want to ask, and I get to choose, fine. But, just leaving a note after they decided it, no. Just no. Never.

Jesus if someone showed up and said they wanted to upgrade my house’s utility infrastructure why, I don’t know WHAT I’d do!

> What’s your objection to this?
My objection would be that I didn't ask for, nor approve, any change to my existing property.

Started it back in June, finished it yesterday. I worked on it on and off from June until late October/early November, then it became my primary focus for the next several months, working on it for hours every day

Why would they have to renegotiate multiple contracts to hire people? Can’t they join the union and start working?

Cool man. Hey now though really fuck off. I was asking a question. Cheers means either right on, enjoy the drink or goodbye. In what world is cheers, right after encouraging you to do whatever you want, passive aggressive?
You must only have assholes around you in life if you’re just that expectant to take shit from a stranger
