It’s time to get LOUD, people!

Because sometimes that’s the only way you can get some petty revenge on a neighbor, you know what I’m saying?

Are you ready for a satisfying payback story?

Get started now!

Keep complaining about my aviary. Now I’m hammering away in the back garden.

“I volunteer as a vet tech with an animal rescue and I often bring home birds to treat.

I set up the outside scullery by the front entrance as a medical aviary as it was completely bricked in and we put roofing over.

Someone wasn’t happy about it.

My one neighbor took great offense to the adjustments that I did to it.

We are not in an HOA and are allowed to change our property but it didn’t suit her and she complained.

She also complained that I don’t keep my grass super short but I have wild flowers in it and I love the bees.

How do you like this?!?!

Anyway, I’m now building a permanent aviary at the back garden but I have to hammer away putting up the frame and mesh.

She runs a small business from her house.

Already two clients have pulled up and frowned at me – I’m on a ladder working on the high parts.

Thing is, it’s day time on a weekday and I’m doing minor work in my back garden.

Am I hammering possibly louder than needed?

Absolutely.

Will I be using as many nails as possible so it will be the sturdiest structure? Definitely.

Am I taking breaks when there aren’t clients and getting back to work when they roll up… I’m not admitting to anything.”
