I could *never* go back to living in an apartment. Where I am: the waterfront is 2 minutes walk away the nearest neighbour is 200m away I can shoot rabbits on my front lawn without anyone caring I can run a compressor and nailgun all day I can have a big satellite dish on my shed I can light up a couple acres of bracken & scrub and the neighbours applaud. It's quiet at night (because we all have enough courtesy to not **** each other off). There's no light pollution so you can look at the stars, and the moon is glaring bright. Complain about a BBQ? Hah. I can BBQ an entire *cow* over an open fire and as long as it isn't one of the neighbours', the only complaints would be from those without an invite. MOVE!!! PDW |
