bluegargantuaHi,
Guess who's landed gentry now?
The closing was really pretty simple and the paperwork wasn't too excessive.
But what I didn't know was that the Maynard levy not only requires that I have sword, shield, and armor for myself, but I have to supply![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
asciikitty with a pole-arm and I also have to support 3 men-at-arms (either with my own equipment, or hired warriors). All this and they can require my service for up to 45 days during the summer.
I dunno if the tax write-off offsets all this...

Re: Woohoo!
Date: 2007-06-07 08:09 pm (UTC)It's not that big. It's just that in Maynard, like the rest of Eastern MA, levy rates are just obscene. I understand that a shopping plaza is going up in the Maynard area which should help alleviate levy rates. And I'm for it! If money-grubbing merchants want to set up shop with their "commerce" nonsense, they should at least have to pay for its defense.
