A subtle approach? Assisted by auto spell ?
Before using Dynamite get Expert House Movers of Maryland to move the house out of danger. These guys moved my dentist’s house after practicing on the tiny Cape Hatteras light House.

Thanks. My iPad isn't on the same wavelength that I'm on. My Windows computers don't try to out think me. I was pretty worn out this morning. We spent most of the night in the ER. And then bright and early this morning the plumbers showed up to replace a water heater that started leaking Sunday night. And then this morning I saw that the air conditioner in the garage was frozen up like an iceberg. Is there anything else that can go wrong?

What's an iPad?
 
Yeah.....i figure it would take 2 backhoes...one of those small backhoe for digging water lines to dig back of root ball and porch & regular size back hoe to dig root ball out.....

Diggers can have any gold found but I would like to keep any stuff from Pocahontas

The Beale Legend never been solved.....they are looking in wrong place
