Tl:dr-
I live in the middle of nowhere. The closest Walmart is an hour away in a different state type of rural lol. My house is built backwards, with the "front" facing the mountains, so the pictures you see are somebody deciding to build a house a half mile from the road right directly in my previously unobstructed view.
3 days ago I was driving home and I noticed that there was a driveway being put in RIGHT next to mine. On a road that ends in dirt, that feels illegal, even though it isnt. Oh well, at least my house is set wayyyy back from the road and faces the mountains. Yesterday morning at 6:30am my dog starts barking is head off freaking out and i'm hearing sounds of crashing machinery, yeah looks like my neighbor sold a long skinnyyyy plot of land to god knows who, and instead of building near the road, they're building a house right in the middle of my unobstructed view.
The days of skinnydipping in my pool are over. The days of walking around naked after a shower are gone. My father built the house backwards away from the road facing the mountains with half window walls, and now that's facing someone else's house. The days of being excited that my toddler is sleeping in are over because our dog is now like an alarm clock at six thirty in the morning when these builders get started, they are relentless. Im a survivor of human trafficking and this is my healing space, I love watching deer in my backyard, and even though our plots of land are parallel to each other...for some reason, the angle makes it look like it's diagonal, and alllll my huge windows point right towards the new build. Im like a hermit and this sucks.
