There's a little bit of action going on next door.... The new owner and his wife were sitting in his truck in the driveway yesterday, screaming at each other in Ukrainian.
There's also a good size hose running out of the house into the driveway and you can hear it pumping water out. I noticed it yesterday and mentioned it to Mrs. Big John who said "It's been there a few days". We did have some serious rain, then a bunch of snow, then it all melted. We got a little water in our basement after the rain, which isn't unusual for that much downpour.
I was told once that when my property was part of the farm, they always planted things that used a lot of water here.
So, I'm really wondering what's going on... I don't think they put gutters up after the new roof and if they didn't bother with keeping the sump pump(s) in the basement running, that could flood that basement, but I don't know if it would be that much.
This may be blowing up in their faces. There's still a mess in the front yard, including the old refrigerator that's been there over a month. I'm surprised that no one has bitched to the town zoning dept. (I won't do that)
Meanwhile, we're discussing the cost of a 6' privacy fence along the property line on that side.
