Yeah, driveway is kind of reeruned. I'm standing at the alley. It makes the house look really nice to have the garage in the back, but it's a total ****fest when it snows because I'm facing west in the picture, so every time it snows with a north wind it makes a goddamn drift from hell on the south. Which is the driveway between the house and neighbor and right in front of the garage doors. I need to own a snowblower soon. It's a good thing it doesn't snow much.
I really think my old house had more concrete. And it was also a ****fest when the wind blew (every time).
RE: Country Living. That's because you're in town all the time. I'm out in the country all the time.
I grew up in the country and it was fine when I was a kid and I didn't have to do all the work. Now that I do have to do all the work, I want no part of it. Especially since I spend all my time doing that kind of nonsense all ****ing day anyway. If I'm going to do that kind of work, I just as well get a return on the shit.
The thing about living in town is you don't have to deal with hogshit roads, there aren't any wells/pressure pumps/pressure tanks/pressure swithces that shit the bed at the most in-opportune times. There isn't a septic tank or leach field which are a total ****ing trainwreck if you have to do any work on them. There is more than one ****ing internet option. I can also do all my yard maintinence with a $200 walk behind mower instead of locking up better than a ****ing $100,000 in mowing and snow removal nonsense. That's not even talking about road maintinance.
My parents and grandparents all thought I should move out to the farm when my parents moved to town. All I could see is how much god ****ing work had to be done and money needed to be spent. There is no way man. No ****ing way.
I'll tell you the big thing though, is wind. On the plains where there are no trees, wind just rips across the landscape. It is ****ing relentless. It is really horrible to be out in. When I lived on the farm you always knew when it was windy. However, in town, other peoples houses break the wind, and my house seals up pretty good so I can get away. When I lived in the country it felt like I could never get away.
If I worked 8-5 in town, sure, I'd be all over that action. Since I have to deal with that nonsense every day, I'm out. It's REALLY nice to get away for a few hours every day.
prolly a couple inches, but the 60 MPH winds made it a total ****fest.
If you drive all the way out here to throw eggs at my house and invariably get your ass beat when I catch you doing it, you're dumber than I thought
