Odds & Ends on the Home Front

So I’ve been remiss in keeping up with updates on the construction taking place back behind my home. I wake up every morning to all kinds of wonderful saws and hammers and machines of various and sundry size. I’ve been periodically taking pictures of the progress over the last several months. I really will have to post those. The first building certainly looks to be shaping into an apartment building.

Plus, they’ve been widening out a little path that leads from my own duplex complex down to what I presume used to be a small path in the woods, and will now be a full sized street to the new apartment complex. They’ve been ripping out lawns and driveways of the duplexes along an existing street that leads to that path… I think to extend utilities and such down to the new construction. I’m just glad I don’t happen to live down that particular street.

Also, it seems I have my particular duplex to myself for a while. Not sure how long, but my immediate neighbors moved out about a month ago. Sad, though… I kinda liked them. I’d be far happier to see my OTHER neighbors go… the ones who seem to find it amusing to let their dogs leave all sorts of presents ALL over my lawn, and sometimes practically in my driveway. *snort*


Oh well. If I weren’t such a wuss, I’d confront them about it… but I am, so there it is.
