BradD Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 We had our home built up here in the mountains five years ago. I'm still picking up litter. One time I asked a foremen to tell his people to put their trash IN the trashcan, not next to it. They all looked at me like I insulted their heritage. I dread when the next house goes in.

roscoedoh Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Next time you build a house, stipulate in the contract you sign with the builder that the area must be free of garbage or else you'll fine him. Provide an economic incentive for him to get his crew to wipe their own butts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
