The wind blew over my crappy old mailbox so I'll be putting up a new one. I guess the only question I have is what should I use to stake it down while the concrete dries so it doesn't tip over?

Well I was planning on redoing part of my front yard with gravel or pavers or something and I feel like I may have unearthed a bastard of a situation. My main irrigation line runs from the street through this part of the yard



The shut off for everything is in that metal thing. The main line comes up then splits into two lines. Those two green boxes are my pressure reducer and the filter. The other green box is the main shut off for not just my neighbor behind me, but the neighbor next to him. Apparently the right most 18 inches or so of the yard is a shared easement between my neighbor and I for the irrigation line to get to his house and his neighbor's house. I've talked to them and they're cool with me covering up the area with gravel or whatever.

Apparently the city is planning on installing water meters for our irrigation lines "at the point of service". Which makes it sound like they'll be putting it in right at the point where it exits the street. They also state on their site "Ownership and/or use of a service connection by more than one property is prohibited. Use of pressurized irrigation water from the service connection of a different user by a person or entity not contracted to use that service is prohibited."

Now I'm wondering how the gently caress this is all going to work out. Where will their water meters go? I'm calling the water district on Monday to hopefully figure it all out. I'm hopeful this doesn't get real dumb and they accuse us of water theft

The landscapers came by and did the front lawn. Pretty sure the maintenance of it is covered under the HOA but the wording is vague, gonna wait and see if it ever gets cut. Mostly I want to get rid of the lawn mower and the patch of grass is less than 150 sqft, not even worth having a full size mower
