Morning, unfortunately:th Normally I'm asleep at this time, but guess whose brain is sick in "am I going to have to ask someone to move their vehicle so I can go where I need to?" I did talk to the property owner and pointed out that there is a whole section of the street on the north side with no driveways that can be used without affecting access to his property, but that using the section on the south side affects 3 families with driveways that are within 15 feet of each other. Or if 3 weeks that they've been working on that property, my ability to come and go as I please or need to had been impacted on 6 days. That's not how you treat someone with a house that will be literally 20 feet from yours. It would be very easy to make their lives difficult, especially if they have small kids. I have to take 3 dogs out on leashes during the day so that my big dog doesn't go over there while people are working. Used to be I only had to have the 2 small ones on a leash. I don't think anyone took in to account how all of this would impact the lives of the people who already live here. They definitely didn't consider it when they made the plans for the house. If they had, maybe the county would have said they can't build such a large home there. Granted, none of their structures will be on our property, but it definitely had made life more difficult for the time being. I shouldn't be losing sleep wondering if I'm going to be able to do what I need to the next day without having to ask someone to move a construction related vehicle. :rantIt's not even worth me trying to sleep at this point, I have to be up in and hour and 45 minutes. :he:he:he

Maybe soon I'll be less aggravated with the whole tatering mess, but I doubt the problem had been resolved just because I spoke with the property owner. This is the 3rd time we've talked to them about reducing the impact to our daily lives. If I have to keep asking them, I'm going to be talking to the county, the is no reason that we should have to continually say something to them just to live in our own home without being inconvenienced by their construction. Yes, I understand that there will be an increase in noise and the coming and going of people. Yes, I understand that they will have to dig in front of our driveway to lay a conduit for utilities. That I expect. I just don't want to have to ask people to move vehicles just because it's easier for them to block us in than taking the time yo use the section of the street where nobody lives. I don't think it's unreasonable, they can still do everything they need to as far as pouring concrete and unloading supplies and equipment. I guess they are so used to dealing with subdivisions under construction that they forget to think about the fact that people actually live here, and these houses have been here since at least 1982.

On the lighter side at least the birds are happy, and I have a 9 lb cuddle buddy snoozing on my lap, everyone is asleep and I'm listening to crickets in DD #'s 3 & 4's room chirping away as they try to entice a mate, totally oblivious to the fact that they are going to be someone's next meal. And I have y'all to keep me company and brighten my day. Hopefully my lousy mood will change as well. I was depressed enough without the stuff with the construction next door. :oops::oops: I'll try to not rant about it on here anymore, cuz y'all are too awesome to get aggravated with all of the grousing.

Have the most bestest day you can. :hugs:hugs:hugs:love:love:love for everyone.

That sucks, but it sounds like you're having a kind of nice early morning. Feel free to rant. If someone doesn't want to hear it they can just scroll past!

Touche'


... not sure I could live in a house w/ no windows AND a spiral staircase, regardless of what it's made of. Was he there before you moved in?
So, my parent's old house was one of those build it yourself situations that was built buy a bunch of alcoholic hillbillies. There was concrete in the utility room for the floor, all the other floors were hardwood, BUT under the house was all dirt. It was so weird.


Hmmm, maybe you could make a copy of the property lines and take it over and tell them you think the wood pile might be on your side of the line. It could be a thing that the old owners knew about, but just didn't do anything or they told them it wasn't a problem. How does the mowing work? Like do they mow that whole strip up to/ past the wood pile? My dad mows the spot behind their yard, but someone else mows it. It's a clearing and he doesn't want the weeds to grow up there, but we certainly don't put things there (except maybe dead animals).

Wow, I can't imagine living in an actual chicken coop would be very healthy. I'm going to assume there were no longer any chickens living in the coop at that point (I hope!).


How'd they screw it up? Aren't you the one who had the goat shed contractor issue too?


I'm thinking it's not really a problem w/ the contractor. Yes, they're inconsiderate, but it really sounds like the property owner is the one who's a jerk. If I were you I'd be expecting issues from that guy once they do move in. He doesn't sound like he'll be the best guy to live near. As for the contractors, can you put a sign at the end of your driveway that says Do Not Block Driveway. I agree w/ everyone else about calling the police. If you have to leave and they're in your way I'd find someone working there and tell them they have 10 min to move their stuff, or you're calling the police. If you end up killing someone, we'll be your alibi.


Great news! and Weird. So pretty much as long as you're willing to live with it there's nothing to do, or will it eventually get to the point they need to do something about it.


Does molting affect their egg coloring?


My daughter wants a dorking. She says their the corgi of the chicken world.


As long as you're refusing stuff that's excessive. I've known people who refuse or delay treatment for serious conditions and end up regretting it. I have a friend who had a bulging disk and had been in pain for months before her chiropractor FINALLY sent her to see a orthopedic surgeon, they sent her to get an mri and then had her come back to see what it said (this all took 2 months). So at the end of Dec she goes in and the guy says you need surgery, get scheduled and we'll take care of it. She calls to sched the appt. They have one for the 2nd week of Jan or the first week of Feb. Which one does she take? The feb one. We yelled at her and told her to call them back and get the earlier appt, but it was already taken. She ended up suffering for an extra month and a half. She was sleeping sitting on her couch with her head on a tray table and could only see 1 hr at a time. She could barely walk.. after the surgery the dr said it was the worst one he's ever seen. She gets it from her mama... she had spotting well past menopause and delayed going to the dr for months b/c she hates drs. Turns out it was uterine cancer. Luckily it hadn't spread so they just removed her uterus and she's been fine since, but it could have been much worse if her daughters didn't force her to go see someone.

Well first of all, the tub is not level. Instead of using spacers properly, he broke them into 4 pieces. The tiles are cut crooked and not in a strait line. I can't believe hubby paid the guy for most of the job. I will probably have to rip it out and do most of it myself.

A drunk person could do a better job and actually finish it. I have been ragging on hubby daily for hiring these guys yet again. I suppose at least i can get a bath now but my bathroom is trashed.

@apryl29 Yes he was already here but he was living in an old mobile home which is still there. I thought he was building a shed, but nope.:)

Wow, gotta love that back woods ingenuity. At this point I'm more worried for what would happen if one of those trees falls on his place. Could you call your insurance co and ask them what your liability would be? Maybe that would help you decide what decision to make regarding what to do about his 'house' being on your property and where to go w/ the trees. If you really want to have them removed you could take down the section of the fence temporarily to access them.

Oh wow. Yeah, I'd never use those guys again. That's a major hack job. How disappointing. Can you get the owner guy to come and do it, properly?
 
Hey peeps! This summer has been super crazy, but super fun, and I'm enjoying school so far. I won't be on here that frequently, because this year is going to be pretty important and I'll need to be really focused. The chickens are doing ok. A few weeks ago, a bear attacked 3 times, killing four chickens. The DEC are being taters and still haven't brought the bear trap they were supposed to bring two Mondays ago. @staceyj, nope! Still happily boyfriend-free! My brother's here at the high school this year. He stresses over everything, but I think he secretly likes it. I'm trying to convince my mom to let me get poison dart frogs, and am now considering going to the Air Force Academy when I graduate high school So that's the stuff in Ruby's life lately!
