The foreclosed hose next door has had contractors there for 3 or 4 months now. I appreciated the clearing of some trees. The original contractors wouldn't tell me who the owner is. OK, I don't blame them. They might get in trouble.
But this week, they painted the bricks on the front of the house. Its a color I'm not sure how to describe. "Dried Blood" seems closest.
Then they planted some evergreens in the front. 2' away from the foundation and 3' apart. After they left, I saw the labels were still on the plants. Arborvitae Smarang or something like that. It will grow 15' tall and 5' wide. LOL!
I really can't wait to meet this person. Either they are a totally whacko, or they may be the most "interesting" neighbor ever.
And I say that cautiously because the lady next door on the other side has metallic frizzy purple hair and wears only black.
There has been pounding going on there for 2 months. I haven't been able to think of any renovation requiring 2 months of hammering. The truck in the driveway always says "Cabinets". Maybe they are digging down and building a really fancy "end of world" shelter complete with rec room, LOL!.
The tree-cutting was interesting. First, the workers cut all the branches of the overgrown apple tree below 10'. And then a couple scrub trees (that weren't shading my yard).
Then a week later they cut it down entirely. I tried to ask them for them if I could have the wood (apple wood, smoker grill, good flavor) but none of them spoke English.
Somewhere in there, the owner must have been around, but I couldn't just stand there shouting "hello" all day. When whoever it is moves in, I'll probably recognize he/she/them. Oh for all I know it will be the cabinet truck guy doing work for himself..
No problem, just I'd like to talk to the owner before they get all settled and decide they love that tree I want cut.

A Day Late
But I wanted to remember a sad day. I remember some parts. I was only 13. I saw a lot on TV afterwards. But my most specific image is the...

Does your county have a website with property tax information? Many do as the information is public. Usually you can search by street and locality name, it should list the owners name. Try to find your own first, then look for that house and see who owns it.
I dislike people who do not plant trees with enough room to grown. They may look fine now, 5 years from now they will be complaining on how over grown the are.
Curious. The house colour sounds 'weird' to be sure. Interesting to hear how this pans out. Perhaps the hammering was contractors installing elaborate and extensive shelves and runs and 'trees' for the new neighbour's cat to climb and play on while the neighbour is out at work all day! LOL
