Thanks. I've calmed down now. The more I think about I agree with your comments. I am comfortable following the advice of the 2 NRCS representatives (who are local) and will be moving ahead without the ACoE.

This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I am very thankful that I even have the opportunity to own somethig like this. I want to thank everyone here who takes the time to post information and to repsond to my questions. As this project moves ahead I hope to post some information and pictures about my experience.
