Exterior Maintenance and Being a Good Neighbor Are Related
A few years back, we were having our house painted. Imagine our surprise and frustration when we discovered sawdust, plus a large sampling of the bug life in our region, clumped into our freshly painted exterior. Yuck. You guessed it – our neighbors were having landscaping done, taking trees out (sawdust) and clearing ivy (bugs), at the same time our house was being painted.
Fortunately, everyone kept their cool, and we’re still on speaking terms with our neighbors. But it got me thinking – yet again – about why it’s important to know your neighbors. As we learned the hard way, it’s not just a good idea for security reasons!
What about you? Do you have any bad-neighbor horror stories or good-neighbor awards to give?
