A sense of humor helps!
Permalink  

We have been in a wind advisory today with gusts up to 60 mph. For two years now, I have put up with my neighbor to the west who has a crappy old metal shed that isn't anchored down. It keeps blowing into my fencing.

Today was the final straw as her idea of 'anchoring' it down was putting railroad ties laying down around it.

The wind literally picked it up and threw it over my fence!!!!!!!!!!!

I called the police station who in turn referred me to the city building inspector, and he said he'd get right on it.

Unfortunately it's still there, she's been home for a good hour, no phone call to say hey I'm sorry, we'll get it out of there tomorrow.

Well, a good friend of mine did a little photoshopping for me!


Here's a temp page I threw up that shows the shed and the damage to my fencing:

It takes all kinds. We are just glad we are not like them. Since humor is the best medicine, we can only hope the bird of paradise will pay her a visit the next time she is outside, and she is not wearing a hat. Sorry for that, but it was the Johnny Carson in me talking, and not Al-Anon kicking in. Sorry

Ha!  She can't do anything about it while she's stuck under the shed!
Grab her legs and pull her out!!

That's very funny... looks like her shed didn't fair too well either.

Glad you can have fun with it and laugh.

Blessings,

Lou
