Entrance garden story: http://www.prettyfar.com/?p=392

It was a mess, but cleaned up nice.

The punchline is the little fence in the background, between me on the left and my neighbor on the right….turns out the foundation was crap, and the wall sank and was leaning against my neighbors garage wall. Serious structural damage.

In 2006.

Two years before I bought it.

So the neighbor approached the owner of my house, to have it repaired as the cause is pretty clear. The owner of my house refused to pay, and the neighbor took her to court. The owner of my house dodged it for almost the whole time but finally lost right before I bought the house.

I bought the house in January, and neither the agent of owner disclosed it. My contract actually states, specifically that the property is not subject to or affected by any legal action.  Also the neighbor approached the agent, while I was in the house inspecting it at the open day,to make sure the agent told whoever buys it the story and of the impending demolition and construction work.

I found out about three weeks back, the neighbor mentioned booking contractors in passing.

I had to dig up my plants. Hopefully I can save them.

So pissed off, and I cant do anything.

Neighbor – Super nice, didn’t do anything wrong.
Agent – Can just deny knowing.
Original owner – The neighbor spent thousands of dollars and two years to deal with the original issue. I have no chance.

Builders everywhere, noise, mess, garden ballsed. + I’ve spent the last three days sleeping on the floor and the dog pissed on the bed and onto the mattress.

Conclusion to follow.

Put in another garden bed.

also got f’d in the A as it turns out by the previous owner and realestate agent. Story to follow.
