One of the obstacles I knew I would have to face with this property is the fact that due to its location and the fact that it has been empty for so many months it had become something of a thorough fair; half of Bidwill seems to cat through my front gate, down the side of my house and through my back yard into the back 'lane' so they don't have to walk an extra fifty meters (maybe a little more) to the next street on there way home from the pub, the school, the bus stop or where ever. Today I had a temporary construction fence put up to stop people, this will probably not make me the most popular new resident but it kinda had to be done.
Standing and looking at the hopefully now disused path worn through the grass of my front yard; I thought how often the right path is not the easiest. It seems that when you always try to make the right choice or do the right thing; more often then not you end up making more work for yourself, taking the more difficult road or just having to wait longer for what you really want. hopefully this fence I had erected this morning encourages people to take the right path home rather than the one through my yard and hopefully no one gets too annoyed at me for forcing them to walk the extra distance, hopefully they understand where I'm coming from, I know that there are a few paths I've walked down I wish someone had blocked off but I guess this life would not be the same without the freedom to make the wrong choice.
I also had a 4 cubic meter skip delivered this morning which we wasted no time in filling with all the rubbish that has been created cutting out the plasterboard and the garbage that was lying around in the house and backyard. We also did a bunch more patching
It was a beautiful day and we got a fair bit of stuff done, again my whole family was out helping; things are starting to improve at my house.
By the way, just occurred to me that I've never posted a photo of the front of my house, so here is one:
