errors in timing

A yellow code enforcement door tag with a list of possible violations and contact information for the code enforcement office; the selected offense is "junk/discared material building debris".

I came back to town heavily masked up to pick up some things and was greeted by the code enforcement officer. Apparently I have been taking too long to deal with the branches from the tree.

That's on me. I didn't remember from studying the ordinances that I have 10 days to tidy away debris. It's been well more than that.

So, extreme heat or not, when my work weekend comes around Sunday and Monday, I'll be sorting out these branches and getting them handled. The ones that go into the building phase will have to be cut to size and stored in the backyard. The smaller ones that are getting mulched will have to get mulched right away. As will all the sticks that are lying about.

Now I'm kind of worried about my neighbors. There are three other houses on the block that have unsightly yard problems too. I wonder if they could use a hand.
