Problem: Neighbor put up a new fence, but his side is higher than my driveway, so when he waters his roses, the run off makes a mess on my driveway.

Before:





Solution: I built a short brick wall.

After:

1. Very clever!
How long did it take you to build that?
Has your neighbor seen the wall? Remarked on it?

Looks like there's some space/ground between your wall and his fence.
Thinking of planting anything there?

You are clever! :hi:

3. He liked it.
He says that he plans on lower that side so there will be less run off. There isn't much space on the other side. I just want to keep that area clean and keep my driveway from getting stain with the dirt.

Oh, it took a couple of hours.

5. It's vent to the dryer

Lame, I know. He tries but he just can't figure stuff out. Since he has a sub-floor he could have direct the vent under the house. My set up does this and I've never had a problem.
