Cider Press Hill

Truckloads of dirt

The neighbors on the hill must have come into some serious money or something. Besides reconstructing their entire house, there was a huge Caterpillar machine up there and a stream of dump trucks unloading dirt/topsoil/whatever, this afternoon. True to his expressed plans, he’s building up the edge of the hill and extending his property out by a couple of feet. So far. I don’t know what else this project will turn into, but there is a pretty sheer drop off at the edge of his property now. It should be interesting when the next heavy rain begins. I’ll try to take a picture tomorrow. It’s hard to explain without a picture. I’m not so thrilled with the way things look, but maybe it’ll turn out okay when he’s all done with whatever he’s doing. I just have a feeling that the water runoff situation is going to be a little different and a little more directed toward my back yard now. We’ll see.

Yikes.......maybe you should take lots of pictures for your own files in case there should be a problem.....take pictures of your backyard as it exists, pictures of the overhang from their yard, of your dry basement, everything you can think of to document the way things are NOW just to be on the safe side.....who knows--you might never need proof but then again, you might.  And maybe your neighbors should too… After all, this house could even end up in your backyard!!

On another note, check your email, sent you something you might chuckle over…

The house probably won’t go anywhere, but I’m not so sure about all that dirt they trucked in. I hope they know what they’re doing. The thing that concerns me though is that the water run-off during a storm is usually pretty significant. The way the hill was cut before dispersed it fairly evenly. I don’t think that was by accident. Now? It seems to be aiming at my back yard. Not thrilled.
