Billye:

You said: "Being from New York, I'm not sure you have seen houses that have garages in the back of the house and a shared alley way behind all of them. The folk on our side of the next street over also use the same alleyway. So the houses are back to back with an alley between them."


YOU JUST DESCRIBED MY NEIGHBORHOOD. lol lol

But we have two houses attached to each other, separated by an alleyway (that is shared by the other house (that is attached to yet another house).

What it boils down to is this: "my landlord lives next door, he owns HIS house and My house. he bought MY house, just to own the driveway and the two garages behind the houses.

and god forbid someone parks in front of the street and blocks the driveway (sometimes delivery men, or people just stopping to read a map or something). He goes nuts and yells "why do they have to stop their car in front of MY DRIVEWAY".

I say "hey, calm down, you'll get a stroke". he calms down.

I am learning much from you guys on these boards. Fire ants, mounds, mulching, etc. I gather I won't live long enough to ever purchase my own home, but god help any fire ant mound that makes it's way to my section of the area.

They WILL NOT BE HAPPY FIRE ANTS!!!

lol . Take care
