The new project

Wow! You don't take prisoners do you @CanadianLori.

 

Cromwell would have liked me....

I've spoken to him since in a friendly tone.... but he now knows to mind his neighbour's rights to enjoy their space too and letting hired help be a source of unnecessary disturbances is unacceptable. The properties on this street are fairly expensive and none of us got our homes by winning a lottery so it's only reasonable expect a degree of respect.

And very few have to guess what I'm thinking. I've only really held my tongue once in the past few years and I regret that I did so.

My neighbours also know that they can count on me to help out the best I can. They like my fresh baked breads and goodies.their kids like coming over to chat. One little girl brought her world dancing competition bronze medal over to show me the moment they got home from the airport.

P.S. Even the boys at the pub make sure they wash their hands after they've been to the loo. The owner is notorious for letting the paper hand towels run out so if I don't see them wiping their hands dry on their trousers...

 

I agree, there's very little of it around these days which is one of the reasons I moved to a rural area. The cows answer back from time to time though.

 

@shiney singing sounds lovely! That I wouldn't mind at all

 

@shiney They look like proper nice fellows! We use the same Tyvek wrap here too!

 

Well, I could read the writing on the roof...

 

Been many years since I've been involved with that sort of stuff, but back then those tests weren't supposed to be carried out during abnormal conditions, such as saturated ground following prolonged heavy rainfall.

Maybe the recent weather is now the new normal?

If it passes the test in worst case conditions then you won't have to worry in years to come.
