On the fence

[vanillafluffy]

Oh happy day! Tomorrow I have a couple companies coming out to give fence estimates (and another one on Wednesday). I can hardly wait, as the level of tresspass is completely unacceptable. I'm tired of people stomping through my yard at all hours of the day and night and ignoring my requests to leave. I'm tired of their drama. I'm flat-out Over It.

Apparently, a six-foot fence is okay, but barbed wire is not allowed. Pity. I'm still taking the "Hook a car battery up to it to electrify the fence" idea under consideration. Failing that, punji sticks....

Also getting the yard mowed again, this time by Mb's neighbor, who is also bidding on the fence job.

In good news, Target is FINALLY having their white sale. Soon I will have pillows!

I have a 10 foot tall wrought iron fence throughout my front yard and 8 foot tall rock fence all around my backyard, which makes it impossible for anyone to get inside. It's the best investment I've ever made, because it keeps unwanted visitors, especially out of town relatives (I don't even think they're really relatives) that use to dropped in unexpectedly for days on end to sponge off of me.

I can hardly wait for you to get your fence up, and if you don't have cats, get yourself a couple of ferocious huge dogs!

How cozy you will sleep when you get your pillows!!

I love dogs, but at the moment, I don't think I can really afford the upkeep---besides, they'd end up in woofing contests with the critters next door, and that I can do without!

Your fence sounds excellent. All you need now is a moat and drawbridge!

You could always save up your glass jars and bottles, smash them into big pointy shards, and spread them liberally on the ground on the inside of the fence to stop anyone from climbing over it. Call it xeriscaping with recycled objects. ;-P

The psycho son of our back fence neighbors likes to sit on the hood of his Jeep and peg empty beer cans at our dogs. When he was younger, he'd deliberately hit golf balls at the house, so I guess this an improvement. I cannot wait for him to permanently leave home.

WTF?

I'd videotape his punk-ass and then press charges!

*shakes head*

Sorry... I have zero-tolerance for juvenile delinquents who then 'grow up' to be adult delinquents.

I'm starting to think he might have gone in the military, since he was gone for months and then showed up with a buzz cut at Christmas. Maybe he's found an outlet for all that nasty aggression.

It would be easier to get someone arrested for littering than animal abuse here.

I figured there was a reason why you hadn't. *sigh*

I have two children of my own and while they're far from perfect, I would've TAKEN THEM OUT if they ever pulled a stunt like that. What is wrong with 'parents' these days?

His mom tried to get him to behave like a decent human being, but the dad's mental too, so I guess the apple didn't roll far from the tree.

Eeeesh. I'm sorry?
