The Cycle of the Destroyed Lawn
Argh!
It is the same thing that happened to me last year at pretty much this same time, my neighbors and their guests are parking their cars on the edge of my lawn in front of my house and completely destroying my "lawn." Now, it isn't much to begin with, but when you do this, it looks horribly tacky. I think that is downright rude!
The destruction goes into my yard about four feet and spans the most of the width of my yard.
Last year's destruction #1



So today I go home for a short lunch and I see that ONCE AGAIN my tacky neighbors have allowed their guests to park on my "lawn" and destroy it. But I am fed up - so I have a semi-permanent solution.

Yes, that is a combination cinder block/2x2 barrier. Thought up entirely by me. The trash bags are theirs though (mind you, they put them in MY YARD!) I fully expect for the barrier to be pushed down or some ghetto trash to have driven over them anyway when I get home.
Note the old Pontiac across the street. When I was building my barrier, they were pulling up and getting ready to park - you guessed it - on the edge of my yard!
I hate my neighbors. They always have "visitors" coming in and out of the house at all hours of the night and I hate it because I have a four year old daughter. The house traffic includes people who walk between our houses to get to their back door and it just so happens that that path is right outside both me and my daughter's rooms. I can almost NEVER have my shades open on the windows on that side of the house. Their guests, or them for who knows, throw trash in my yard. One day this summer when I was mowing my grass I found two liquor bottles, a cup and two potato chip bags. Was not a happy camper.
I'm not making any accusations, but normal people don't have 10 or so cars coming and going every night at all hours of the night BUMPING MUSIC like they are at a club parking lot instead of a nice quiet residential area!
Don't be fooled though, my street is a nice quaint street. My neighbor's house was occupied when I bought my house by a lovely couple; a young doctor and his new bride who gave birth to their first son. The birth of their son and a new job at a prestigious hospital caused the couple to relocate, thus the perfect neighbors (She baked me pumpernickel bread to welcome me to the neighborhood for Chrissakes!) had to sell their home to the PJs.
Thus is my life. Let's just say I would never lend then any eggs or sugar...
