My backyard is on a hill, and the neighbor’s kids decided to sled all the way down it, slam into the top of my retaining wall, knock a bunch of shit off (breaking two big terra-cotta planters in the process) all while screeching like banshees. Needless to say, I’m not super happy with them or their parents.
So I hear the commotion, step out the back door, and literally and instinctively yell the thing.
Spring project # 185: Install a fence, possibly electrified and razor-wired.


Good fences make good neighbors
Ain’t that the truth. But so does, like, good parenting.
I did just buy this sign to put on it:
I’m pretty sure if you are in a suburban area you can’t actually electrify it.
I don’t think there is any ordinance about the sign though lol
Not sure. I’m in unincorporated suburbia so it might just require signage?
Regardless, there definitely (okay, probably) isn’t an ordinance about detecting someone touching it and making it make a “bzzzztttt” sound lol.
Now you’re Thinking With Portals
