Mr. Grumpy Pants

Yesterday one of our neighbors stopped by to let us know that other neighbors are miffed that we put a 2nd story on part of the house, thereby blocking their view. - a view that wasn't there to begin with, but would still have been blocked if we just did the one story with new roof. They are also positive that we paid off building and safety to make it happen since we weren't required to get signatures from the neighbors. Hello! Not part of an HOA for that very reason. I want to place pink flamingos in my front yard if I want to. How about a troop of garden gnomes?

Now we get the joy of smoothing ruffled feathers.
