Transcription
We've retained the attorney to deal with the situation next door. I can only control my reaction to:
1. Disobeying/kinking Dallas law and codes.
KB: Attorney, let's do it. Dallas 2. + Building inspection.
2. Using inexperienced cheap labor, unlicensed labor.
KB: The law, see a law. Cannot sit on own property or damage anything.
3. Collusion. You be you. I'll be me.
4. Destroying - unconsciously, uncelebratively, Mother Nature.
KB: Hold the rage.
