So....

[cornerofmadness]

The idiots my landlord hired to do lawn care not only damaged my garden they WEEDWHACKED thru TWO different sets of cables on my house. One I'm not sure what it is maybe the phone line to that room (need to check the phone there) and the coaxial cable to my internet.

I have NO idea when it will be fixed. I DO know the landlord shall be paying the bill. I'm not pleased with the internet people. this is the downside to having a small local company, little staff but that is STILL no excuse for not calling people back.

That is unbelievable. Talk about le suck.

Ionce had a lawn care person use a high powered leaf blower in my garden and completely killed a couple of my plants. Why they thought that my mulch should be removed was beyond me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah it sucks

oh geeze. seriously. how can you be in lawn care and NOT know what mulch is for

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, the head person told me proudly that she planted Norway maples as part of a garden design she was asked to do. One of the crappiest trees you could possibly plant.

Maybe the lawn-care monkeys will pay more attention to what they're weed-whacking after your landlord docks the cost of repairing the tenants' phone lines and coaxial cables from the lawn care service's pay. In the meantime, learn to splice coax yourself ;). I swear, you'd get faster results, and your local "provider" will probably never notice. Oh, and drive a bunch of rebar around your garden area, while you're at it. You can't trust local-yokel yard guys not to weed-whack your tomatoes and lilies. (Yeah, I know, one of the idiot neighbor children would impale itself on the rebar and get you in trouble, but it's a tempting thought.)

Yeah he might do that since this is not the first time. the landlord fixed it himself when it happened to HIM. Don't see his butt at my place fixing it

oh how I would love to

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Uhhhhh...the landlord didn't bother telling them, "This is a garden" and "there are cables"???

Seriously.

*headdesk*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and they've done this before to the LANDLORD's house

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I kinda think he needs to hire a new lawn service.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

down here you replace them but replacing a Billy with another Hillbilly gets you nowhere

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Wonder if he could hire one of the locals (i.e., neighbors) to do it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I think that IS the problem.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh. I would've thought, since they lived there, they'd be more careful, but.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they're idiots AND most of the hate everyone else so there's that agenda

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, somehow, that doesn't surprise me, either.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no it really shouldn't

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Suck all around.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

big suck

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

That is horrible. Your landlord better pay for fixing it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

if he doesn't it's coming off my rent check let me tell you

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Ah, he went with Curly, Moe and Larry Lawn Care and Repair. Popular among landlords everywhere.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes. In fact these idiots have done this before to other tenants

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

hopefully it will be soon *fingers crossed*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nope

[priarani560.livejournal.com]

That really sucks!!

Hope it's all sorted soon

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not yet

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Every time you mention your landlord, and his idiocy. I thank the gods that I have a decent landlord.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah.....and now the internet company is working their way toward a better business bureau complaint
