	before.
	Bob Palmer said Mr. Potter could run a trench along the side of the property and that
	will aleviate the problem. Mr. Potter said he will run the trench and do whatever he can
	do to make the Thompson's happy. He said he also plans to plant pine trees on the
	front and north sides to block his equipment from sight, as well as fence the property.
