Home is where you plant it Part 3

 

Continued from Part 2 prior post. 

I left you in part 2, with the words Bob can't hear the Bams and Booms, so no Big Deal for him, except it will when they sell the home and who knows whom will move in. 

the good news is the noise stopped after day 3, it has now been 15 days and even though they have not missed a single day, 3 men working 8 to 5, it has been gloriously quiet.

The outside is complete, and we like the light gray with glossy white trim but could live without the orange door.

History of our 33 years next to this house in as few words as I can. this history is why we planted the wall of privacy.

1 year after we moved here the man next door died. we did not even know he was there

A Man and late teens son moved in. quiet but bob and the man had WORDS, so it was really quiet.

 

 The next day we started planting anything we could, and bob built a privacy fence 

we lived 12 years with two men glaring at each other.

2012 the man married, moved out of town.

He owed more than he could sell the house for and turned it into a rental.

The year of Covid, our Govt saw fit to tell people they did not have to pay rent, so even the ones who had the money just stopped and spent it on other things. 

 the renters stopped paying the rent

The house was foreclosed on

The new owner bought it on the courthouse steps 130,000

Let the fun begin. 

the house the owner lived in was ready to flip and flip it did, but he could not move out because of nowhere to go, he rents the house back from the new owners 

and it takes

One year to evict the no paying squatters and we think he lost so much money waiting that he decided to simply put

“Lipstick on a pig” 

and dump it..

Painted inside and out and new appliances and call it done. At risk of being arrested, early Saturday am, I went to the back of the house and PEERED through windows and OH MY.

Its all dressed up and lets see if there is anywhere for it to go.

the roof is 19 years old 

Not Good...  we shall see what we shall see. 

Home is where you plant it Part 2

 

Continued from Prior Post.... above is the view of the house next door. From both bedroom windows and both bathroom windows, it is only a Spit Away from our window.  Maybe 20 feet.  Last week, sitting this computer, I heard  BEEP!  BEEP BEEP BEEP and the loud sound of a Diesel Engine.

Leaping to my feet and peering out the window I saw this

No, I did not take the photo, its off the internet. They dropped the Construction Dumpster and I raced outside to tell Bob they were putting it in the driveway. 

He says So What?

I rant and rave, I told you they sold the house a year ago and the people who have been squatting in it since 2020 would not move out and that one day they would evict them and last week the people disappeared, and I said now they will start the work on flipping that house and we will here construction noise for MONTHS and MONTHS.....  yes, I do talk without punctuation when over excited. 

This is the sold house and the one you see next to it shows how close the houses are.

Our windows are open, Yowsa! 

Beau and The MadSnapper are now on constant Alert! waiting for the loud Bams and Booms and Whams. Bob can't hear them, so no big deal to him except...
