Abandoned House?

A few minutes ago someone knocked on my front door- he asked my address and said that he had a birthday party invitation to deliver to Austin, “does he live here??  This house looks abandoned.”

Yikes.  I knew it was looking kinda bad lately on the outside but I didn’t expect that.  It has to be the biggest downfall of construction, the mess.

I have been getting a little worried about kids, especially ones that aren’t mine- playing in the backyard.  Workers are messy, they rarely clean up after themselves.  Their lunch, drinks, whatever, never seem to make it to the trash can.  But they also they don’t clean up their work messes.

It’s getting pretty hard to get around the backyard.

The front yard is starting to look kinda bad too and I am just waiting for someone to complain.  So far my neighbors have been very nice about it, but the comment today left me a little down.  I am getting a little tired of living in construction central.

Just have to keep thinking about the end result.  Which will be here soon.
