What does your street look like?

We're at the very end of our dirt road, up on top of a hill where nobody can see us
there are 5 other houses on the street, the closest is a retired couple, but they don't live here full time, they travel to another town to take care of their parents and come here on weekends.

Next is a young family - both parents work, and they have 4 children, one in high school the others in elementary.

Next is a young couple, I don't see them often but they have a dang dog that runs around the streets.

Next is another couple but I've never seen kids, they look middle ageish - I see the hubby going to work, not the wife. They have a very old lab that sits outside the on the street watching cars.

Next is a retired couple, with the most beautiful garden, they spend all their time mowing the huge lawn just perfectly. THey make us all look bad!

Also, the back of my property borders a public hunting/wild game production area. There are plenty of pheasants, deer, and other wildlife around.

We have this too... we have a little bridge in our back yard that attaches to an abandoned railway. The tracks are long gone, but a 4-wheeler club maintains the trail system and you can get hundreds of miles in any direction on the trails, in the winter they are groomed for skiiers and snowmobiles.

That's where I run my dogs, since we live on a narrow 2-lane 'highway' that logging trucks feel is fine to blast down at 60 miles an hour. Obviously sidewalks don't exist here either.

We moved here two years ago and we've had THREE people roll their cars/trucks in our front yard... never buy the house on a curve of a country road

That sounds like bliss.. Not the cars rolling into your yard, but everything else sounds wonderful.

2dream: We'd also count as one of of 'sketchy' neighbours on this part of the street

We're remodelling an 1883 house (shack), half of which has no siding and is covered with insulation sheets... our porch constantly has the remnants of the most recent reno project on it... along with some car parts right now...

Someday we'll get this house to the point that it looks fabulous, but that could take a while at the rate we are accomplishing (and affording) things.

Hey, I'm not knocking a messy deck, but there are DEGREES of messiness. For us . . yeah, the project supplies, various potted plants, watering cans, firewood, etc. definitely accumulate on the deck, and it ain't pretty, but at least there is room to walk and set a piece of mail down with some hope that it will be visible. And we even have a table and two chairs that you can usually (but not always) navigate to sit in. LOL

And we ARE probably the sketchiest ones on our street because we are waiting to build a house, and currently living in . . . ah . . . what came with the property.

massive amts of fighting over land.

yup we have that here. amazing how land and money can break a family....so sad. We have 120 acres (some worth millions because of the location) and we sure aren't fighting...UGH

so sad truly that situation. My friend Barb with the dairy farm....her hubbys family hate each other. there is tons of quality land and the way it was divided up (cause Grandpa must have been senile at that point..LOL) with some getting landlocked with no road frontage etc. put that family into a war of the land big time. One won't sell road frontage to the other and blah, blah, blah and one got a dime more than the other, etc.

Yeah, it is sad. About half of the siblings have been exiled from the family by the other half. Then they sue, and the siblings still on the farm have to sell of a chunk of land to pay them off. Right now they're asking $10,000/acre for wooded, nonbuildable, nonfarmable land.

Greed sure brings out the worst in people. Those $$$$$$ signs are hard for people to ignore. UGH

Friend Barb's hay fields are on a sharp curve...at least 1 per month end up in her field or her driveway....and a few have died in her yard. I hear ya on that one.
