Moving into the burbs (sort of)

I’m been in an apartment for awhile, but moving into a house. Part of the land with it is a few acres of creepy woods. I know the neighbor who sorta reminds me of Rumsfeld. His girlfriend used to live there, they got into an argument and now she’s moved. I checked it out before she had vacated and the air was thick with tension. No basement, but there is a fire pit where a tree was uprooted that’s a small hole in the ground. I haven’t checked it for bodies yet, though. And the former tenant stole the garage door opener so I have to get a new one, WITH new tools because my old ones were lost. I’m drawing a few parallels to the burbs, and am looking for more. It’ll be a good week before everything is moved in and I’m settled. Any thoughts? Suggestions? When I’m all moved in I’ll invite you all over for a bbq…just keep your hairpiece in your trousers, please.
 
Congrats on the House!

When you checked them out, where was it on the tension scale?

Suggestions: Get yourself a night scope and maybe some holy water.





 
Did you check Yelp reviews to make sure you can get a good beef sandwich in the area?

Do you get a good enough radio signal to listen to the ballgame?

Good luck with the house!
 
First of all, I wish you a good move, which is always associated with some stress.

I would make some brownies and introduce myself to the new neighbors. With a nice neighborly chat you'll get a lot more out about them than if you were to spy on them permanently.
 
Just discovered I have a “storm shelter” outside. It’s a super creepy metal lid that leads to a flooded metal floor down this little short ladder…it’s not a basement for me to keep a horse in though, unfortunately. Just a mosquito haven. I got a new garage door opener and every time I open it when I’m going outside I hear that song in my head when Rumsfeld comes out. I just don’t have a lady in her underwear there with me or a flag to raise or dog poop to step into. There is, however, these two fawn that hang out in the front yard, almost getting on the front porch.
 
Nice! Were there any old emergency supplies down there, or was it just water?
 
I haven’t ventured down. It’s dank, and wet. I saw a tiny snake and a small frog down there. I took the cover off to see if it will dehydrate and clear it out.
 
If I could figure out how to add a pic I’d add some. I’ll work on it !
 
Congratulations on your new property dear fellow burbanite!

I based my home purchase kinda like you did back in the days when I moved in, in fact I think I wrote a piece on it (and some observations on my neighbors quite some time ago in here as well).

Maybe I could bring over my night scope, and I have a few of those radios that can receive the police channels on them too, complete with siren mode! Albeit they're using encryption today, oh well, they are still cool, so let Art go on over - roger!

Btw, are you going to get a garage opener?
