Official Squatch Watchers

I feel like there's going to be a street fight between 21 and Stacey any second now... or 21 is going to show up on Stacey's door step w/ a trailer and a herd of chickens.

:smacklove ya but...C'mon!! Why oh why do I continue to live in Ohio? It is so soggy and damp here. We desperately need some sunshine to dry things out
 
:thIm so jealous
Well, come on then.

Bring a sweater though. It’ll be sort of chilly again by the weekend. But next week looks like spring again.

My old guy neighbor Ray was tilling his big garden yesterday.
That’s always a good sign.
I’ll have to stop and talk to him in the next few days.
He’s a good gardener. Used to be a farmer. He knows what’s what.

Talk about climate change though....
5 years ago, I had my garden planted by Lincoln’s birthday. (Feb. 12).
It’s gotten later each year, and not because I was dillydallying - the temps just weren’t there yet.

We get soggy and damp too. Last year was horrible with a record breaking 100+inches of rain. More than twice the norm.
 
So... The saga of the neighbor continues.

They've completed the exterior frame of the house and put the roof on, all during the rainy weather we have this time of year. That means that the whole thing has been wet to the point of they'll be lucky to not have issues with mold. The window flashing is only on the sides and bottom of the windows, not along the top, so yeah, they'll have issues there. They haven't had a building inspector out to check on it since before the foundation was poured, and the property owner has only been out once since they started building.

Well, Friday they decided to dig the trench to pay the power conduit. Not only did they not tell us they were digging, but they also we digging on our property in a place that I would not have let them dig. In the process, they dug through the power line feeding the entire neighborhood :rant... With a backhoe :barnie. Tomorrow I get to call the water company back and tell them that the water in the trench is not frozen, which it should be with the current temps, meaning they did, in fact, damage a water line, most likely ours since our water pressure has decreased since then.

I'm not furious anmore, karma is gonna get them. They are getting fined and a bill from the power company, so I'm just helping karma out by getting with the water company and letting them know who to contact about paying for the repairs. No, I'm not happy about it, but the fact is, the guy with the backhoe is lucky he didn't get electrocuted The next thing he would have hit would have been the gas line, so we were lucky that the neighborhood only lost power for 5 hours. Things could have been a thousand times worse.
The is one of the worst things I have heard in a long time!

:mad: I hope it all gets sorted out soon.
