We have been putting up a new garden fence 'jointly' with the neighbours.
When I say 'jointly' it means they are paying half but the next door blokey just keeps saying he is useless at doing this and useless at that
To be honest it is probably preferable as we have just cracked on at our own pace , ordered what we wanted and painted it the colour that suits us etc.
However his garden is just full of monstrous tall plants , young trees etc. His view is that these are all 'low maintenance'.
So we have said that some of this will need to be cut back to prevent force on the new fence and he has told us to do as we wish. So we have been cutting back etc but cannot obviously lop anythng in terms of the height .
Yesterday The Man brooched the subject that some of these plants are becoming too tall and are struggling to be supported. The Neighbour would not hear of cutting them down a bit. Apparently the top of the plants / trees contain ' their soul '
Also by densely packing in these things in his garden ( their is very little light that makes it to the ground level this prevents his asthma. Apparently he could tell which street he is in around our local area by his asthmatic reaction
I can tell it by looking at the road sign but I recognise that is quite old school
aaaggghhhhh
