No my trash pick up is Tuesday. I am livid with these new home builders right now. I am having to clean up aluminum and trash. Look at the dumpster they left. And the mess in the yards of their unfinished homes.View attachment 53654View attachment 53655View attachment 53656View attachment 53657

Gotta stay on top of builders/contractors they'll bury paint to keep from having to pay dump fee.

Old house had dead patches of grass found half rotten paint cans buried in yard.

Thats nothing, We bought a lot in a subdivision before it took off, the city sent me a letter to clean it up?????? Went out to see what they were talking about, my lot was filled with construction debris from a house next door, could even see the dozer traces, called the police, they asked if I had seen them do this, DUGH, called the builder, he said kiss his butt, so I waited until they sodded the yard and took our back hoe over and reinstalled there trash on there sod! The builder was a turd! Had to get on his level!

I'm thinking there is some kind of law or ordinance about that in times like these (hurricane coming, loose yard/trash). I know at the least I would be a big pain in their a$$ for a couple of weeks. That's not cool.

I had a big exterior remodel on our house this summer, put trash cans on all four sides of the house for cans, bottles ect, came home every night and put trash in the cans. We had Mexican workers, guess that is how they live, not all, but the one's who worked on our house. They just didn't get it!

This has to be the best sign language interpreter around.:D

Supposedly we're getting Tropical Storm Irma.

Not used to the hurricane prep so I'm not sure what todo.
Does this look right?

Things are starting to pick up a little here. It's been rainy and windy/breezy off and on all day but now we are starting to get some pretty good gust's.

Kind of a neat thing, you look up at the sky and the clouds are really moving!


Update: just went outside and the gust's have REALLY picked up!

Sprung a drip/ leak around our chimney. Ended up cutting the wet drywall away from around it so it doesn't soak and drop a bigger chunk of the ceiling.

Was outside a few minutes ago and heard a big crack in the direction of those trees in the video. I'm sure something big will be coming down from one of those.

Be safe everyone!
