Making Rainbows

I'm washing down my house here yesterday. My neighbour (whose house is behind that large garden I'm next to), grows bamboo, which I'm allergic to. I break out in hives, can't breathe and my eyes get itchy.

So, when my neighbour's carer cuts it, I have to cover my outdoor furniture and wash the house down as much as I can when I get home.

Oh, they never tell me when they've finished the job. I have to check this camera on my building to see if they are.

Are they horrible for keeping a garden I'm allergic to? Yes. Are they horrible for not letting me know when they finish work? Even more so.

I just wish they'd change the plants.

But this is me every few months. All covered up, hosing my house off.
It’s a big job…

@beverley365 yes. After 8 years, I'm sick of it. I'm trying to get this awful neighbour to get her garden cleaned up. I do it, but I don't kick people out of their homes to do it.

I asume you have discussed this with them. Sad the bdont listen

@joansmor yes. A number of times. But they don't want to see how hard they make people's lives. But then, you can't pick your neighbours.

Sorry to hear of this situation

@sewfree thank you. We have had problems with this lady and her carer for years, and yet it seems that they can boot out a long-term resident, someone who has lived here 4 years longer than thus lady, but allow her to keep a plant that's invasive. She did call the authorities on me about having poisonous plants once years ago - no warning, no knocking on my door. They just showed up, and confiscated half my garden! But I complain about her awful bamboo and nothing gets done. Is that fair?

Have you considered explosives. It's the only way of getting rid of bamboo, and getting your point across, I find. 😁

@swillinbillyflynn yeah... it'll freak out her as well. But I'll end up blowing up my home too, unless... I get in an expert 😉
