It’s been a while since we checked in on Gene’s My DIY backyard project. Looks like it’s done except for the decks. Additional coverage available at Confusion. Looks super fun.
I’m not trying to be a douche, but people just need to think about noise. What’about a small soundproof wall? Or how bout telling neighbors, ‘hey, we won’t skate after 8p.m.’ I dunno, peeps be afraid of noise ‘n shit. Cus I hear what ‘Glue Huffer’ b sayin, you build that sick’ass shit then a couple a noise complaints and bob the neighbor turns into bob the guy that ruined my fuckin life. Okay, I’m a little drunk, but you know what I’m sayin.
And yeah I know you meant homeowner’s, not getting separate skate insurance… but I know of at least one successful way of Eddie Haskelling the home inspector into happily skipping the backyard while yer at work. (Only people who yer reasonably sure live and, um, die by the code belong in your backyard, after all.)
I don’t think I’d want that next door to me either, unless the dude was super cool and his friends were super cool. Couldn’t handle the noise, yelling, raging and sketchy beardos hanging around otherwise.
Law mowers, leaf blowers, drunk arguing, kids in a kiddy pool, loud cars, people talking loud on their cell phones in the yard. Concrete isn’t Nearly as loud as wood and it looks below ground level bet its not as loud as the things listed above.
People forget that irrational irritation is sacred only to the Tea Party, but that irrational FEAR is sacred to a wider population in America. And that oftentimes a bunch of able-bodied, unbashful males next door winds up being more reassuring to neighbors than not, and so they choose not to be irritated, even rationally. I think the thing that people miss, in this whole debate, though, is that if George Zimmerman skated, he would not have molested his cousin all those years….
If you’re insinuating he also would have been less prone to killing if he skated, you’re full of it. But, if you’re insinuating he would have been less likely to GET AWAY with it… okay. As for skate neighbors, though, remember, it only takes one “Get off your lawn!” type.

Just don’t let Jack Sparrow or the like skate it. You know, the “…well it’s really more a loose set of guidelines than an actual Code…” types.
