"y...I love that you are forever my protector! <br />"you mess with me, you mess with all of us! "<br /><br />The sidewalk issue was initiated by my (resourceful) neighbor, who probably over-pestered them, knowing him. Not just calls, Jake even wrote emails.. not sure to who. It was reviewed then determined. Apparently, they relaid concrete less than 5 years ago.. but the jackasses didn't use rebar to stabilize it on clay soil! <br />Result: Tilt-a-World. Incompetence is the problem. Kinda the theme of this whole house - though we love it very much!<br /><br />Is Dawn in Houston, ABQ?<br /><br />((hugs)) and luvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532963168277716411.post-47439842300409660152009-10-13T20:41:02.589-06:002009-10-13T20:41:02.589-06:00lindsay, that is totally unacceptable! you can...lindsay, that is totally unacceptable! you can't have a flaming palm tree in your back yard without a steady supply of fruity drinks with umbrellas in your hand. besides, that must totally freak out the dogs. the sidewalk thing really is a serious issue--i would try calling a manager (i know you have all that spare time to do this). better yet, tell me who you talked to and i'll figure out the manager! i'm certain they are in violation of providing a safe place to walk out of traffic; maybe they are in violation of the americans with disabilities act. is emily an attorney now? ask her!<br /><br />also, you and dawn should meet--y'all would get along beautifully.<br />love,<br />m.lost in the trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673956209769974784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532963168277716411.post-65455852062229985272009-10-13T19:23:40.702-06:002009-10-13T19:23:40.702-06:00I agree with Dawn.. the images are killer.. I thin...I agree with Dawn.. the images are killer.. I think it would make a great cross stitch design on a hand towel (hmm.. my christmas present?) <br /><br />The City of Houston is much less cooperative.. <br />1. Broken water main - they came out 2 days later. Luckily our resourceful neighbor fixed it a couple of hours later. Won't pay the bill and replied this is now our issue because we intervened. <br />2. Hurricane Ike created a leaning powerline - now leaning into one of our palm trees creating sparks and catching on fire. They came out the night we called.. but no intervention preformed. It still sparks. <br />3. Side walks.. done without rebarb and now sunck and crooked. It's like walking on a tilt-a-world. Emily (in a wheel chair) can't get to our house from the street and our neighbors (older) mom fell. The city replied to our complaints that this is our problem. <br /><br />I'm extremely proud of Iowa City!!! <br /><br />luv, LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4532963168277716411.post-34519620484244287342009-10-05T06:38:49.083-06:002009-10-05T06:38:49.083-06:00kean and i are thinking that this interaction with...kean and i are thinking that this interaction with the city makes an interesting contrast to you having to go on the news to shame abq into dealing with sofa waste by the ball field :) what a massive effort....love the image of rich with chain saw and you with flame thrower....Dawn Ohnoreply@blogger.com
