Beware of Falling Debris

I wonder what we should beware of? Falling debris? Obsolete electronics coming back to life? What he might be keeping in that camper?

Stonehenge Lawn

A crazy German neighbor who decided to make a stonehenge like creation on his front lawn. He said his mower was too small so he needed less lawn.

Crazy Ladies And Their Lawn Ornaments

Dawn — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:50:13 +0000

We lived in the upper half of a duplex and our crazy neighbors piled every piece of tacky crap into our shared lawn as you can imagine. Small wire fences, barrel pots, arches, ceramic deer and even a pink flamingo (not pictured). Not only that, but they were awful to live above. They called the police on us twice for “walking loudly.”

Bowling Ball Lawn Decor

It was when I lived in SE Portland, OR. That family had a habit of collecting EVERYTHING and then displaying it randomly on their front lawn. For a long period of time they had a toilet sitting right in lawn. I asked them about it and they told me they eventually planned on switching the toilet out with their broken one. To me it looked more like “come take our free toilet”. They also had about 20 bikes all over the outside of their house. My roommate and I called them the kooks.
