Its pretty timely for this to come to the top. Did you guys see this? http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/#!/on-a ... /176839571" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Residents having to dumpster dive after only a couple days? I probably have over a week just in my pantry without having to dip into reserves.

Code inspectors run around verifying they are not. It took just one building project for me to never want to deal with any of them again. We replaced just about the whole council during the last election. I hope that things are going to get better.

One of our EP committee members has a great rain water barrel setup because she lives in a different town. It wasn't cheap to setup but it appears to work well. If I can figure out a way to camouflage it... But I live on a corner lot and that isn't easy.

You guys can't have the trash cans visible? I would HATE that. There is no space in the garage for them, nor would I want them smelling up the place either. Thankfully Rowlett isn't so crazy like that. Although I wish they would step up the code enforcement on the foreclosed house next door. I was walking by yesterday and saw something odd all around the front porch. I walked up to it and it was like a scene out of "The Birds" except with Mosquitoes. Probably a thousand or more mosquitoes COVERING the ceiling and walls of the porch. I think the gutters are full of water, the hose is leaking (creating a puddle), and there is a giant hole in the backyard too. HUGE waste of time to do that aerial spraying with this house is next door.

We've got Lake Ray Hubbard about 100 Yards away so water shouldn't be an issue. I just need to buy a filtration pump and we would be set for as long as I have new filters for it.
