Such a shit show over a tiny triangle of ground to buy this place. I’ve mentioned before that a new driveway had to be put in because of the property line dispute between a father and daughter. I’m pretty sure there is a conspiracy to make me hate it here — but it’s not going to work!
Creating a ditch I will have to maintain. Yippee!
Upon speaking to the county crew’s boss, he said he made the sellers aware that putting in the new driveway would require a ditch be dug in front of the house. Of course, the sellers didn’t tell us that. Dude said that little drain pipe would cause the entire road to flood when it rains. Whatever asshole. ðŸ˜
Water runs downhill.
The new drive isn’t located on the little knoll like the old one, so it is what it is. The Barndo Triangle claims another victory.
TIL (Today I Learned): Persian King Xerxes was so enraged after a storm destroyed his bridges that he ordered the sea be given 300 whiplashes and branded it with red-hot irons as soldiers shouted at the water. (Wonder what his reaction would’ve been over a new ditch.)
And finally… sure hope my favorite brother has a fabulous birthday. He is really old… like a half decade older than me — his baby sister. 😉
