I have found in my years in construction that the first ones in,
alow
anything to pass. But after they become permant residents nothing
else
matters. You can't do that, or ,It's got to go, 'it upsets me being
there'.
If someone told me a "Cemetery" was "creepy" I

I have friends here in Floyd Co. that have a cemetery on a raised
