So many of my friends said I'd regret home ownership. I've been in my house 4 months now. It's a nice house on a large corner lot.
My neighbor came to show me a hole on the property line and to say that he's going to get a lawyer to sue the city to fix it. Me, I'm wondering if it's really the city's responsibility. I obviously live down the hill from the neighbor. Of course there is rain runoff in my direction. That's the way the land is sloped. Doesn't mean the city should do anything about that.
His point is there is a problem in the sewer/city drainage. he wants me to stand with him so his case will be taken seriously. I have no problem with that in theory. I'm just not going to point fingers at the wrong party if I can help it.
He's a good guy, my neighbor, but he was being pushy. Me? I tend not to listen to what people tell me to do. It's my personality to dig my heels in, and when I finally started to stand up for myself, he retreated.
Ugh, people!
Ugh, my house!
