I believe the US has squatters rights. It's called adverse possession. You have to make some sort of mark on the land and pay the taxes. in TN it's 20...
We'll probably send out a press release. Although, I'm planning to offer full coverage of the event and deliver the audio and/or video by web. If it seems to...
Thanks. That's not too expensive. I don't see how there can be an issue with installing a meter just to track the usage in a building. Let's say you had a wood...
I don't think the electic company cares if you keep track of anything. What is not allowed is buying power and then selling it to someone else without a...
