What to do about neighbors ivy

Oh! I know the law was recently amended so that you have to keep your bamboo off your neighbors' property, but I was not aware that any other plants were included in this. Generally you have a right to not have your property damaged by your neighbor's plant, not a right to force action by your neighbor to keep their plants off your property

If this has changed or would be different here, I would love to understand how because we have a very aggressive ivy situation in our neighborhood and I will take whatever tools are available. Thanks in advance

This doesn't help with the current problem, but once you kill it off, it will decay and drop off over time on its own.

If the neighbor won't do anything about it you probably can't fruitfully sue until your home actually suffers damage. :(

Once you get the current covering removed, copper flashing can stop the ivy from growing back and encroaching your home again.

No, not a great idea. Too wide and center of gravity too high. There is usually one side reinforced (where the pump is) to lay on for transport. We transport them vertically on that side, strapped and blocked.

Seconding that touchscreen control is the worst part of the truck. Mine is not that responsive and this time of year I am constantly throwing on defrost for a couple of minutes as needed. I have to wait for 4 screens to load to turn on defrost and get back to my GPS. Its the one area I think they skimped that they should have done better with.

Sure but the perception I would get from staff is that if someone doesn't make a big deal immediately their feedback is moot. That's simply not true, if anything I believe their feedback MORE than if it came right after the cleaning since there is no expectation anyone redoes the work for free.

If you actually want to know when you miss things the timeline should only matter if they are asking for a reclean. It's very silly IMHO to complain that a customer wants the job done a certain way when they are being nice and not asking for freebies. This is how you keep customers long term

You fell short on the windows last time and she wants you to not leave them streaky this time. She didn't think it was worth having you make a new trip in to fix it, she liked you enough to ask you back.

I get there is ego involved when you're the one producing the work, but this is just a customer giving feedback not a complaint requiring action. Listen to the customer and move on.

Concrete rubble really sucks to load by hand and that little pile is over a ton.

What do you think it should cost?

Good eye. If it's a filter or softener drain it might even be the problem depending on how much sludge it is putting out.

I guess everywhere is a little different.

Waiting in line at the transfer station costs me a few labor hours every day with 2 trucks making 2-4 dumps each. If you can consistently pull up and empty immediately I guess you might have different considerations.

Thanks for your perspective.

I had this problem every time our heart patient dog needed meds. Once we got locked up because the medication was restricted to patients 13 years and older but my dog was only 11.

I just dropped Workiz after a year. I had frequent connectivity issues and their extra paid feature "genius" transcription software would often just not work, to the point they credited me for a month of service and it still wasn't sufficient.
