A Drainage Drama: Who’s the Real Villain Here?
In this riveting tale of neighborhood discord, our ‘Drain Defender’ finds himself in a battle over drainage, property lines, and a sump pump. After implementing a county-approved solution to his flooding woes, he’s accused by his neighbor, Greg, of causing damage to his foundation. Despite providing evidence to the contrary and explaining the purpose of his ‘decorative rocks’, a heated argument ensues. Greg, a plumbing professional, threatens to dig up the disputed area, prompting our protagonist to involve the authorities. As it turns out, Greg’s drainage setup is against county code. Yet, despite this validation, our Drain Defender is left feeling miserable, questioning his actions. So, who’s the real villain in this suburban saga? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this…
