nmoira Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Whoa. My backyard neighbor is chopping wood, wielding a full-sized axe -- wearing safety goggles, work boots and nothing else. I'm keeping my phone with me in case I hear a scream and need to call 911. Need a taller privacy fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 lol I had a neighbor (happily married and never inappropriate) who would do yoga naked every morning in a yard we shared. He was old, but trim. It was interesting. Hope your guy doesn't lose a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Oh my. And I complain about my neighbor who does yard work sans shirt. No kidding. I grumble about my neighbor mowing the lawn wearing less than I'd like, but at least he always has pants. I still know far more about him than I should, especially when he bends down to fiddle with the mower, but I now realize it could be so very much worse.

Karen in CO Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Who gets up in the morning and decides they need safety goggles not pants? I'm just trying to work out the logic of it. Exactly how tall is the privacy fence? Would a hatchet have been better or worse than a full-size ax? If he'd been using a chain saw, do you think he would have chosen pants?

The couple who lived in the house before this guy were raising sheep in the backyard. We'd assumed they'd picked up a couple lambs for Easter dinner, but nope, they were for wool.

TheReader Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 oh my goodness. We did have a neighbor once who took advantage of privacy fences to utilize his backyard pool in the buff. He told us when we moved in that we were welcome to come over and swim any time. Paused a minute and then said, "Well, knock on the gate first....sometimes I am out there, ummm, less than dressed...." (we never went over to swim, just in case) He later came over when he needed help stitching a support garment after a surgery, which I thought was odd, but at least he gave us fair warning on the bathing and never chopped wood in just his boots....

UnsinkableKristen Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I find the idea of Nude Wood Chopping ridiculously funny.

"Well I was fixin' to go out and cut me some wood, so I put on my boots, that's all, just my boots. Oh and my safety goggles, because you know, you could put out an eye with that axe."
