Get off my property

I just had "a little talkin' to" the contractors that are doing work for my neighbors. When you have pregnancy hormones racing through your body, there's no holding back. I'm sure the five or so guys didn't know what to think when they saw an irate pregnant woman heading for them.

The contractors decided to hook up the neighbors' water hose to our faucet for their concrete work and to clean their tools, etc. Could they have hooked up the hose to the neighbors' house? Of course, but apparently that wasn't as convenient.

When you live in a dry area, one that hasn't gotten rain in over a month, water is expensive. Trust me, I know. I've had a $550 water bill before. Since we're trying to keep the grass in our yard alive, we may have another one. So we don't need someone else stealing our water due to laziness.

About 15 minutes after the scene, their "foreman" came over to apologize. Well, I let him have it too since there was no excuse. I also let him know that I was tired of hearing their trash talk and that I would let the general contractor know I wasn't pleased. Good help is hard to find.
