So the neighbour comes along...

Yeah, maybe I should Jim, but I kinda felt like I should trim them since they're from our yard and they don't even have a house there.

Anyway, the mower man puttered up the road after he was finished, but I'm expecting something in the mail box from the owners over the next week or so.

I'm thinking maybe I will put a match to it next time we have a windless day (which doesn't happen much where we live). That might solve the problem. lol

Anyway, crisis averted.

In the mean time, I've been getting some piping ready for when the boys go home so we can get a bit more water in our tanks when it rains. I think the underground stuff is all blocked up, so I'm going to run some pipes around under the eaves for the main downpipes.

Also, I've been trying to fix my dishwasher today, but I need some new parts - which I only replaced 16 months ago, but they only have a 12 month warranty if you install them yourself, so I'm down another $100.

Owning a home with all the mod cons sometimes sucks a lot.
