I thought CraigsList was primarily used to find other types of ‘ride’...
I live in the American Midwest, so I don't look at such sections of Craigslist, as I am sure it is horrifying.

Ride It Like You Stole It!

Got to laugh at my idiot neighbour. He's a 'builder of sorts' - i.e. van with no name on it. He's a bully, and does what he likes - built a 'residence' in his back garden for his son, then threatened an old lady when she complained as it was a 'wendy house' - footprint of it is the same side of his neighbours house - google maps shows it.

I had a run in with him 6 months ago, again due to something he has done without building regs (could have killed his family and the 3 other adjoining residents also).

So, this weekend, he is painstakingly taking out each and every block paving stone on his paved front, and cleaning it and putting it back. It's going to take him weeks as it is a massive area. The reason, he has never bothered to maintain it properly. Block paving isn't fit and forget. He left it too long a few years ago, then had weeds growing through each brick gap - looked more like a patchy lawn. So he got a couple of scallies to scrape it all over two days. That worked for a year. Then last year, industrial jet wash man, made a huge mess on the road, and that's lasted a year. Now, each block out. Simple regular maintenance would have stopped this with weed killer/weeding and sanding it.

What a tool.

Khama.
