Hurricane Helene winds did a good bit of damage to trees in our northeast Georgia mountain community and many homeowners here are still cleaning up as well as dealing with falling leaves. I drove up Sunday to deal with this but it rained for two days. I started yesterday afternoon by blowing leaves so I could move freely picking up limbs and sections of tree trunks. It took me about thirty-five minutes.
I moved next door to the neighbors yard and blew that too, as I have to cut up the broken trunk of her tree that fell on our property. Her husband passed away in October 2023 so I have been helping her maintain the yard.
I heard a woman screaming over the sound of my Echo leaf blower. She was about fifty yards away at a VRBO. I asked if she were hollering at me and she screamed I had been running that thing for hours and she didn’t pay good money for a mountain retreat rental to be bothered. She said cut it off or I will call the law.
I informed the female dog that she chose a community of single family homes to stay in and homeowners would not be tiptoeing around renters but will carry on daily tasks whether it bothered her or not. Her husband said he didn’t like my “tone”, so I suggested he load his dog and belongings up in the car and go back home.
Well, those entitled folk called the homeowner and reported my harassing behavior. He called me and asked why I bothered them. I explained the situation. He tried to defend their point of view. I am not having that. After lunch I am going to the county planning and development office with a copy of his VRBO ad, stating the place sleeps ten. That home was originally a one bedroom/bath with a kitchen and a great room. The septic system was never upgraded so I am positive the county will be demanding an immediate and expensive upgrade.
