chEFFs Dream Home Build

Lots of rain yesterday. Dallas had over 10" of rain. We only got maybe 6-8" of rain. The rain gutters worked great. 1st reservoir was filled up. One problem. Water was leaking under one of the boulders. Gonna have to fix that. We want the water to run OVER the boulders. GUNITE Time? Peace

 
but what about the neighbors water issue, did it present itself as a problem to remedy

Yes it did. The rocked area became a Lake. No drainage at all. I'm sure I'll have to expose his pipe at my property line (If It's there) and most likely cut my driveway up. Thinking like a 3' cutout with steel grates to cap it. BUT......who is responsible for clearing out his culvert? Surely not me. Easiest fix......Fill in his ditch. Plant sod. Let the water run down the street like my water does. Every Culvert down the street (4 of them) are 90-100% clogged. We'll see what kind of neighbor they'll be.

Scenario: If it costs me say $5000.00 to cut up my driveway or $1000.00 to fill in his ditch, which way would you go? It would have to be agreed upon for both of us of course. I know which way I would go if it came across to me. Peace

 
The Retaining wall by the Pond was built by Me and Billy 3 years ago. ONE thing I learned.......THE most important part to the success of a wall......The 1st row! Peace

Next Door Neighbors called and reported about the backed-up Culvert. Looks like our relationship has been established. Can't do anything until the ground dries. Re-Scheduling with the City. Here we go. Peace

I haf a neighbor like that.  No matter how many times we tried to reach out and be nice, she was just an unreasonable aasholio... 

 
12" of rain in one day is pretty hard to control. Ask New Orleans, LA about that. Peace

How many people have culverts on your side of the street? If he’s the only one then effe him. If you’re the only one that doesn’t your effed. 

 
Talked with the neighbors today. It wasn't them who called. It was the old lady Sue Ellen who lives at the bottom of the street. She came up ranting and raving at my neighbors bitching about "THIS THING". meaning our house. It doesn't fit here! She's pissed off about all the construction going on. Our next door neighbors have been building their pool, ( I think I've mentioned this) and Sue Ellen is mad. Trailers have been blocking her drive up the street. NOT me, all my subs park on my property. So she called the city. About what? There's no mud on the street. Next door neighbors rock lake has dissipated. She's not happy. Poor Sue Ellen. Anyway, rescheduled the appt with the inspector tomorrow to discuss how to please everyone. Sue Ellen, that won't happen. Can't please the woman who thinks she owns the neighborhood. Peace   

 
Is the house on the other side of her for sale?  She will be VERY sorry when I move in....  damn kalipornians....  LOL
