Cost of the units in our neighbors’ under-noisiest-construction-ever townhouse: $485,000, $470,000, and $475,000.
A small portion of what I see over my ten-foot fence:
Upon completion, what I hope buyers see a lot of when they stand on their rooftop “terrace” under the 100-degree sun (95 percent humidity):
… living next door to Becky and Tim… PRICELESS
You tell them my dear!
Oh no. They’re nowhere close to being done banging, assuming this photo was taken today, are they? It’s like you were sitting at the movies minding your own business, and some tall, noisy person sat down in the seat in front of yours… I’m so sorry.
A tall noisy person wearing an ugly pointed hat.
I hope they see a lot of that, too! “Progress” really sucks sometimes!!
I vote for teaching all the Compound dogs the subtle art of the synchronized poo. On command. When the neighbors are on the terrace. The command, of course, should be “Hi, neighbor!”
When y’all come over this evening, Tim and I will have to reenact our ideas for yard behavior that we think the new neighbors will enjoy…
Expansion plans for the local redevelopment project in my area calls for a Dreary Inn Hotel to overlook the back of my property from the next street.
Well, the one advantage to that is that if you like to stare into people’s windows like me (I blame watching REAR WINDOW at an early age), you may see something interesting now and then.
You have a ten-foot high fence and you still see that much building? Argghhh…
Maybe you should erect a carport with a highly reflective roof angled to shine right in the eyes of any prospective buyers. Or spread rubbish like car bodies, old, ripped couches, etc, around your yard! The synchronised pooh idea is also a great one 🙂

I love that idea.
Talk about ‘there goes the neighborhood’!! That sucks.
I’ll come crap in your yard too (now that I know where it is). That’ll give ’em some entertainment.
A room with a view! Good puppy!

Becky, this post is hilarious! I meant to comment on it back when you wrote it.
Down in Indy, condos are going up right across the street from my favorite leather bar. The owners of the bar are nervous that the rich folks will cause a stink about a gay leather joint being in the neighborhood (even though the bar was there first), and that the condo folks might try dirty tricks to run ’em out of business. The bar now has blinds at every window, preparing well in advance for the possibility of curious peepers.
Anyway, lately whenever I go there and stand on the second floor and peek out the blinds to survey the progress on the condos, I think of this post and it gives me a chuckle.
