WALLED IN

I didn't mention that the wall project was done.

We have even had the gardener come and plant some prickly plum plants in the space made by the new tree-vee.

The job on the wall is perfect.

Imperfect is the cleanup that happened after. There is always that last 2%.

I had to call them back when I found a stash of rubble on the neighbor's yard across the drive.

And this is the good neighbor.

I wouldn't want it on any neighbor's side.

So they came and got most of it and then said they would return for the rubble which they didn't so I did the work this morning and distributed the rubble where it will not be seen.

Sort of under the back of the lantana growth outside the wall.

Lantana is both a weed and a cultured plant. These are really weeds. They grow in mats which are impenetrable.

Soon, the rubble will be enfolded and invisible.

I also had to have the gardener repair a broken sprinkler line for which no one would or could claim responsibility.

"Not me man."

But it is done now.

I guess there is no perfect project completion (any more).

The grumbling (any more) is about the old days and how there used to be perfect jobs. But I probably have a lousy memory.

By next week, I will think that this one is too.

What I like about this project is that unlike most replacement jobs, this one does look different because of the vee that we put in to accommodate the tree. The tree that was pushing the old wall in.
