My name is Brian Benson. I work for the Parks Department. As you guys mostly know, I also held a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish wheels, wings and wishes last month or actually June in June because I stopped by and let you guys know we were doing it. 8 00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:58,040 I'm proud to say that we did very well again this year and a little bit of rain in the morning and a big storm at six o'clock. 9 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:05,760 So we had to push everything up, but again, we got to tie our record in for the second consecutive year. 10 00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:10,420 We've raised $40,000 to make a wish, which granted eight wishes. 11 00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:21,820 This is the 12th year we've donated a total of over 330,000 to make a wish and we have officially granted 60 wishes on our own. 12 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,960 So I just wanted to let everybody know and so you guys can 13 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,540 brag about it, whatever you want to do. 14 00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:34,540 Well, we certainly appreciate it, and I'll say this every year, 15 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:36,320 it seems like there's more and more cars there. 16 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,840 It's not quite what the fire department has coming up, 17 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:43,300 but it's really nice, and sometimes you can't be at both. 18 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,920 So I encourage anybody who came to yours also come to the fire 19 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:48,740 and vice versa. 20 00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:52,580 So two days of looking at cars and hanging out in the park, 21 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,340 you can't be at it. 22 00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:56,920 There's worse things you can do in a couple of afternoon. 23 00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:02,540 So I just wanted to thank you guys for helping us out and giving us the park and being 24 00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:03,340 able to do that. 25 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:04,200 Thank you. 26 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,500 To tell you a comment about bragging about things. 27 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,580 I don't brag about anything that we do regarding that, but I do brag to anybody that I know 28 00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:19,400 that's a car buff about the guy from Public Works, Brian, who runs this Make a Wish car show 29 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,720 that benefits Make a Wish and if you like cars, you need to come to Brian's thing. 30 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,300 So I brag on you,

address is 1725. 44 00:03:55,180 --> 00:04:00,360 Five has some road, Moon Township VA, 1-5-108. 45 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:30,880 You may remember that my house on has some road was most severely affected by the sewer water project. 46 00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:43,000 For the entire duration of the project, we endured heavy equipment taking over our yard and relentless pounding from machinery. 47 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,040 We're going to take a look at the 48 00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:46,900 That pounding caused real damage to our home. 49 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:50,560 Our foundation cracked to the point where you could see light 50 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,460 through the wall. 51 00:04:52,460 --> 00:04:52,960 Our weather. 52 00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:56,540 It's not called a weather vein, but it's a stick. 53 00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:00,700 I think it's a lightening kind of a lightening. 54 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:01,500 Weather ride. 55 00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:02,440 Weather ride. 56 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,420 Okay, we'll go with that. 57 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:15,220 Our porch and sidewalk pulled away from the house when they hammered a frame, a huge 58 00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:21,540 frame, into the ground with a huge digger part. 59 00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:26,560 And it was just slam our house, shook after every slam. 60 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,120 They even stretched the wires to our house with a piece of wood at one end to get the equipment 61 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:41,060 under because it was a low-lying line yeah like they came from the house to go out 62 00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:48,400 okay got it thank you they were tying it together with these ratty little ties I had to ask 63 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,420 to have somebody come back and take those off like it was just that like would you want you know 64 00:05:54,420 --> 00:06:02,980 I was like oh gosh okay that's not important all right so let's see equipment remained on our private 65 00:06:02,980 --> 00:06:12,240 property constantly, well beyond designated easement, I have even had to call on Thanksgiving 66 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,780 day just to ask them to remove the massive frame that was in the middle of our yard. 67 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,480 All the other things were done but like right there and they did. 68 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:28,800 But, communication and safety were major issues throughout. 69 00:06:29,620 --> 00:06:36,400 Township representatives repeatedly showed up unannounced, and I practically had to beg 70 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,980 for a meeting with one-on-one meeting with Dawn. 71 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,920 Just to express how stressful this order was for our family. 72 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,180 I thought she needed to know that. 73 00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:57,880 On top of that, a massive hole was left unsecured over the weekend with a safety fence while the surrounding earth was collapsing, making us extremely nervous. 74 00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:05,080 I actually watched chunks, and this is as our porch is hanging on, and so on. 75 00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:10,520 Cronin attempted to see the yard, but it didn't take. 76 00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:21,720 I was ignored when I called to follow up with Cronin and then eventually dawn and forward me that moon township would fix the yard and plant the trees. 77 00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:31,040 I was explicitly asked to choose three non-invasive trees and I requested three Sassafras trees. 78 00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:36,380 When the township crew finally came out, here's what actually happened. 79 00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:45,520 They did seed it, they did put hay over it, but ignored the underlying soil. 80 00:07:45,820 --> 00:07:47,160 This has been the problem throughout. 81 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:49,940 Cronin also tried to seed it. 82 00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:53,180 It just didn't work hard. 83 00:07:53,420 --> 00:07:57,680 It's the clay after all the digging and all the pressure from that equipment. 84 00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:02,940 It's rock hard, so the yard is splotchy. 85 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:17,540 They ignored adding soil, they left our yard full of heavy clay, huge chunks, and even bumps. 86 00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:22,460 Now this didn't, this was there, they didn't cause this. 87 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,640 But each, but Cronin did his thing and didn't fix it. 88 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:35,340 and now we have moon township trying to fix it and it's not fixed. 89 00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:39,000 They installed two 90 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:46,700 landscape islands I did not ask for but I was excited at the time. They filled these beds 91 00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:54,860 with moon township dirt and mulch and it's now overgrown with weeds. Like one particular 92 00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:57,420 weed is coming up all over the place. 93 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,780 And also I they ignored my request for 94 00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:11,160 three Sassafas trees. It did take me a long time to respond. I'm sorry Don. But 95 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,780 they were you request see me they just never got delivered or well they did yeah 96 00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:21,460 it didn't happen and yeah and it was supposed to be you know native to this area 97 00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:29,620 and non-invasive. Okay, that's important. Instead, they planted a dog, wood, and a red blood, 98 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:38,500 but I think those are okay. And one of those trees actually is dying. A neighbor who's 99 00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,940 very knowledgeable about plants, and you probably know her, 100 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,740 she was walking past our yard and asked 101 00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:52,420 questions about the trees. And she said, I think those trees are invasive. Well, she knew 102 00:09:52,420 --> 00:09:56,740 exactly what they were, which I can't remember at the time. She said they are invasive. 103 00:09:57,060 --> 00:10:04,380 And I bet they were planted with the burlap and wrote tied around them. I think she may 104 00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:11,300 have mentioned this to somebody in this area. So I was like, okay, that's interesting. 105 00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:23,740 So I went out and dug around the one tree that we didn't ask for, and sure enough, there was a rope all around, and then down below that was the burlap. 106 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:32,660 And then I went to the other tree, and it was the same thing. I actually took pictures and I was going to have some, but I didn't make it with that. 107 00:10:32,660 --> 00:10:41,400 So I did it, check the other trees, but that very well, maybe they don't use spur lap with smaller trees, I'm not sure. 108 00:10:43,260 --> 00:10:47,720 So, obviously they would eventually choke and die. 109 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:56,220 All my family once, after enduring months of chaos, stress, physical damage to our property is for 110 00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:59,920 the township to do the right thing. 111 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:06,100 We want the yard that is actually nice, safe, and looks good. 112 00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:12,800 We're asking for soil to be properly prepared, 113 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:20,280 leveled, recede our yard, that is flat and safe to walk up. 114 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:29,120 The dying incorrectly planted trees and unauthorized beds to be removed. 115 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:38,020 And the three sass fast, fresh trees we originally requested to be properly planted. 116 00:11:39,090 --> 00:11:45,880 We have been patient through a very stressful process and we just want our home restored properly. 117 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,400 And I have just a few more comments on this, 118 00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,400 this really was a hard time. 119 00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:07,760 I thought about moving the pounding in the house and we have a son that works from home, my husband works from home and I'm at home. 120 00:12:08,980 --> 00:12:16,300 And it rattled the house, then we, I think my husband checked the basement and there's 121 00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:19,340 a crack in it with light pouring through that you can see. 122 00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:22,280 The big books of the basement. 123 00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:33,600 It was so frustrating, I kept talking to cronin people and one man or maybe he was a manager 124 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,140 or something, he would say, like, don't worry, we're going to take care of it, we're going 125 00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:42,440 to give you everything you want. It's going to look so nice. And I was like, are you sure? 126 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,860 So towards the beginning of the summer, I was like, aren't they, they should be coming 127 00:12:48,860 --> 00:12:55,460 out? Or it actually in the spring. And I tried to make calls, never return to calls to who? 128 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:03,120 Cronin. Cronin. Okay. Cronin. And they were never, I never knew anything about it. And then 129 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:10,720 And at some point Dawn and I connected and she said maybe you came over and she said 130 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,700 that the townships taking care of it and Cronin is going to pay for it. 131 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:24,320 So I think that's a sad representation of taking care of it. 132 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:32,000 The stress, depression, thinking about selling the house, breaking our foundation, watching 133 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,300 Seeing our porch pull away from our house, watching the sidewalk pull away, I felt like 134 00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,640 I was on alert at all times. 135 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:47,020 I was constantly looking out the window when they were there a little bit, and when they 136 00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:53,540 weren't there because there was this massive hole, it was very, very deep, not the deep 137 00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:56,960 that they said it was going to be, it was deeper. 138 00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:06,620 Yeah, and just having the vehicles all over the yard, all the time, I took, I did take a lot of pictures of that and the cracks. 139 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,800 Yeah, I guess that's enough, just, it's important to me. I'm hoping. 140 00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:42,910 I'm glad that Don was there and the township wants to do right and I passed that a lot during it and I understand I'm going to watch your porch fall off and then they repaired it once and that repair cracks and they have to take it off again. 141 00:14:42,910 --> 00:14:55,290 Yeah, just to put it into context, so what this is, this was a flood control project trying to help you and your neighbors not be flooded. 142 00:14:55,870 --> 00:14:57,810 So we weren't trying to torture you. 143 00:14:57,930 --> 00:14:59,970 We never had a- 144 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,720 Bad issue with flooding. It was just coming down the middle of this yard, coming down the, when it was really hard coming down the driveway, but it never affected or flooded whatsoever. It may not have flooded you, but it flooded a lot of other people. I just want to get done on records. That's what we were doing in your yard. I realized that. So you mentioned a few things. The landscaping. I know we stepped in there and did that if we didn't do it right or there was communication. 145 00:15:30,340 --> 00:15:34,060 I'm sure Don, you'll make sure we get that right. 146 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,600 But what about the foundation crack? 147 00:15:38,260 --> 00:15:43,060 They, Cronin sent in Matthew's wall anchor services, and 148 00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:44,860 they paid for the whole thing, that was- 149 00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:46,260 Okay, so that was- 150 00:15:46,260 --> 00:15:46,740 That's part. 151 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,740 Okay, you didn't mention that. 152 00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:49,440 I'm sorry. 153 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,980 That would have been my biggest concern, did we crack your foundation?

163 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,080 What do you think would be the proper thing for us to do? 164 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:31,600 I guess find out somebody or get somebody else that actually knows how to seat a yard and add the soil. 165 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,280 I don't know what can be done with the soil, but it is so hard. 166 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,560 It's when it rains, it's just, it stays there. 167 00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:49,020 One time when I was watering one of the landscapes, the islands, 168 00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:53,360 I would port like water was going really heavy on it. 169 00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:01,020 I came back to get the sprinkler and there was puddles all around. 170 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,380 It didn't go into the ground. 171 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,480 Yeah, they didn't, I don't recall because again, I watched it. 172 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,920 They didn't actually take your yard up, did they? 173 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,700 What does that mean? 174 00:17:14,060 --> 00:17:16,560 They didn't actually dig it up and bring dirt back. 175 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:26,180 They had something little and they just and it was you know something like they were trying to aerate it and they just went all over everything. 176 00:17:26,620 --> 00:17:34,530 But I think the proper thing would do it needs to be aerated you know it's packed. 177 00:17:35,090 --> 00:17:39,550 So the vehicles and the construction would have done that but okay. 178 00:17:40,550 --> 00:17:50,170 I just think it needs a professional company, that's, I understand, I just think that it's not going to get done right unless that happens. 179 00:17:50,710 --> 00:18:04,510 We have some very good people, if we didn't do it well enough, you know, I know we're going to, we'll talk about this and we'll figure out, but we want to make it right for you, because I know you put up with a lot, there's no question about that. 180 00:18:04,510 --> 00:18:07,710 But our engineers spent a lot of time looking at your house. 181 00:18:08,410 --> 00:18:15,630 It was deep, you know, we had to put a new sewer line under the existing. 182 00:18:16,490 --> 00:18:18,710 We put a new sewer under the sanitary. 183 00:18:19,670 --> 00:18:22,650 So it was a tricky project, a difficult one. 184 00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:30,410 And then I know some things didn't go well and we dug it up again, just to make that insult injury, so to speak. 185 00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:33,270 Can I ask for clarification on one thing? 186 00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:40,510 So where they did the planting of the trees and the beds that they put in. 187 00:18:40,730 --> 00:18:43,650 Now you're telling me that you want those removed? 188 00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:48,130 Well, we were there and talked to you. 189 00:18:48,270 --> 00:18:50,030 Yeah, and I was really excited. 190 00:18:50,350 --> 00:18:56,190 I mean, I didn't, you know, you didn't say we're going to use moon dirt and moon mulch, which 191 00:18:56,190 --> 00:18:58,890 is everybody puts their stuff into it. 192 00:18:58,890 --> 00:19:05,530 So, something caused these unusual weeds to grow. 193 00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:08,830 So, I'm thinking, yeah, it needs to be re-done. 194 00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:10,810 Plus, that soil's so hard. 195 00:19:11,230 --> 00:19:12,630 Plus, those trees need to... 196 00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:14,650 Okay, so let's stick with the flower beds. 197 00:19:15,310 --> 00:19:16,550 Okay, the islands. 198 00:19:16,690 --> 00:19:19,330 We walked through with you, because Scott was there also, 199 00:19:19,970 --> 00:19:22,370 with two of the public works, guys, the day that we were there. 200 00:19:22,590 --> 00:19:22,790 Okay. 201 00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:25,490 We walked through where they were going to put them 202 00:19:25,490 --> 00:19:26,870 and you approved all that. 203 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:39,790 Yeah, okay, so I really don't know if it makes a difference if we use moon, soil, and mulch or whatever it is, or go to a landscaping place and buy the same thing. 204 00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:43,250 It still needs care and maintenance after it's done and put in. 205 00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:46,250 We're not coming back to do that care and maintenance. 206 00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:51,190 So my question is you stood here and you said now you want this I'll take in the way. 207 00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:55,590 Well, so if we take it away, where are we putting the trees? 208 00:19:57,370 --> 00:19:59,410 Just different places in the yard. 209 00:19:59,910 --> 00:20:02,830 I will figure that out with a professional. 210 00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:04,090 I mean, I just... 211 00:20:04,090 --> 00:20:05,710 So there's not going to be a professional. 212 00:20:05,910 --> 00:20:12,430 It's going to be our guys from public works that came and did it will be recent out to do it again. 213 00:20:12,430 --> 00:20:17,670 So that, the archives can do the job, right? 214 00:20:17,850 --> 00:20:18,450 They are hurtful. 215 00:20:18,450 --> 00:20:21,350 Well, why would they leave burlap on trees and plant them? 216 00:20:21,790 --> 00:20:21,830 What? 217 00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:24,250 I will talk with them to find out. 218 00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:25,770 That's not wrong with that. 219 00:20:26,010 --> 00:20:30,990 It needs to be loosened and pulled away, but a tree that big, and I've sung. 220 00:20:31,170 --> 00:20:31,890 There's a large tree. 221 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:36,470 And I've been around planning all my life. 222 00:20:36,690 --> 00:20:39,050 You typically cannot remove the burlap. 223 00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:40,490 You just tie it and loosen it. 224 00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:44,150 The reason is burlap is because burlap decomposes. 225 00:20:45,770 --> 00:20:54,830 So I had a neighbor stop by and she and I had a neighbor, Judy, me, Hawk, you guys know her. 226 00:20:55,610 --> 00:20:58,370 And she said, can I talk to you about your trees? 227 00:20:59,110 --> 00:21:03,510 And she said, you know, what are these trees I did know before. 228 00:21:04,810 --> 00:21:08,490 And she said, these trees are invasive. 229 00:21:08,490 --> 00:21:12,270 So actually, I looked at up red buds because I have one of my own. 230 00:21:12,270 --> 00:21:22,010 No, I said the red bud was not and the dog was not, she said that, and she said, and I bet there's burlap down there. 231 00:21:23,090 --> 00:21:27,230 So I trust Judy, she seems like she's been doing this a long time. 232 00:21:27,230 --> 00:21:43,090 I don't, you know, and with the ropes still being on that kind of like, how's that going to release, you know, maybe if they took it off and they put it in with the burlap underneath, I don't know. 233 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,840 I'm going to disagree with Judy. 234 00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:51,240 You don't, you physically can't remove a burlap. 235 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:58,440 You would beat up the ball, so bad you'd do more damage to the, you know, let's just say this. 236 00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:04,000 We hear you, if we didn't get it right the first time, the second time, the third time, 237 00:22:04,220 --> 00:22:06,880 we're going to make it right with you, okay? 238 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,520 And we have good people. 239 00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:10,600 They do excellent work. 240 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,500 If there's some miscommunication, if they didn't understand, we'll make sure that 241 00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:22,160 do we get it right? The law probably needs aerated is going to need some time to loosen 242 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,780 up and just begin to breathe again. Perhaps we can talk about what's the mushroom and 243 00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:32,000 north on the top. That really helps that process aerated again. I'm not sure what machines 244 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,680 you're talking about, but it's like it was an aerator. 245 00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:40,260 So everything was done a couple of times like that. Kevin, I don't know what we ended up 246 00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:49,500 the third time. But once it's done, everything cared for by understanding this. Every other yard that was in that 247 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:59,900 area that was done has grown back in. And I understand hers was washed away a few times, but they 248 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:07,480 came back and did it again. So we have, and again, I'm not sure if Cronin or us, I think I have the 249 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:13,000 photos of Cronin gave us that showed us that they had finished it. Cronin's looked good 250 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,940 initially. Cronin did multiple times come back and cleaned up multiple times. They had 251 00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:25,640 it because they they would do the like especially the slope they do the slope we'd watch then 252 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,600 we knew it was going to rain the next day because and it did and then they came back the 253 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,400 next day did it again and it rained again and then they came back one more time put it on 254 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:40,160 rain again. So there's wonderful grass at the bottom of the slope where there's 255 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:47,870 good water. They rock counted the front yards, receded them, put fabric down, 256 00:23:47,950 --> 00:23:51,970 we took the fabric out because we had complaints about the fabric. The fabric 257 00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:58,230 helps keep the keeps of wet. The main item is yards need maintain. The people that 258 00:23:58,230 --> 00:24:02,970 immediately moated, grass-terminated, weeds went away. 259 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:08,570 Well, I can just say we didn't know how to do that. 260 00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:11,090 And again, I was there a lot. 261 00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:14,310 You were talking about the yards that we dug up, 262 00:24:14,730 --> 00:24:17,710 filled back in, re-tops or and seeded. 263 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:19,090 Grounds loose. 264 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:21,810 Her front yard was a parking lot. 265 00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:22,710 Yeah, it was. 266 00:24:22,990 --> 00:24:26,090 And so I think what we did elsewhere. 267 00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:30,130 But where, like I never saw that topsoil, I could never see that. 268 00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:36,110 And then when Cronin did it, there was, there was like people trying to get the rocks 269 00:24:36,110 --> 00:24:40,830 out of it, and they were raking you out of the side, and then they left it there. 270 00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:47,310 This was a group, you know, that Cronin used, it was, and I was just thinking there's rocks 271 00:24:47,310 --> 00:24:47,730 everywhere. 272 00:24:47,730 --> 00:25:02,110 So it's, I don't remember a lot of, like I didn't see the mulch, you know, just, yes, 273 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:02,730 and I agree. 274 00:25:02,930 --> 00:25:12,190 We are not great at maintaining our yard, and it bothers me, but I have people in my 275 00:25:12,190 --> 00:25:16,050 home who won't do it, and I have issues that I can't do it. 276 00:25:16,050 --> 00:25:25,310 Well, the yard will come in, but our people are going to do it, and if we need to change the trees we will, to be non-invasive. 277 00:25:26,270 --> 00:25:29,110 But you select them, you said you told us that's the first? 278 00:25:29,490 --> 00:25:30,430 Yeah, okay. 279 00:25:30,690 --> 00:25:33,090 And I think there was a conversation about Sassafras. 280 00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:35,790 I stepped away at that point, Scott, you were there. 281 00:25:36,730 --> 00:25:39,910 Do you remember, was there an issue with Sassfras? 282 00:25:40,850 --> 00:25:42,150 I believe there was. 283 00:25:42,150 --> 00:25:44,930 Do you remember that part of the conversation? 284 00:25:45,870 --> 00:25:49,110 I don't remember what was discussed about the Sassafras. 285 00:25:49,290 --> 00:25:54,410 I remember John explaining exactly what trees he had planned to plant there. 286 00:25:54,650 --> 00:25:59,890 And there was a maple, he said the red bud, and we all agreed on that. 287 00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:00,970 Two types of maple. 288 00:26:01,070 --> 00:26:01,670 Two types of maple. 289 00:26:02,410 --> 00:26:04,890 How many trees did we only do three there? 290 00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:05,590 Did we do five? 291 00:26:06,510 --> 00:26:10,490 He did four and plus lilacs. 292 00:26:10,490 --> 00:26:14,190 And he just said, I'm going to make a little nice. 293 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:16,630 I didn't ask for any of that. 294 00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:22,790 And the thing is, I forgot that our lilac bush that 295 00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:26,670 was down at the bottom of the corner of the house. 296 00:26:27,290 --> 00:26:30,870 I just didn't remember that that was actually destroyed. 297 00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:33,670 And it was once that year plus. 298 00:26:34,110 --> 00:26:36,990 I know Don had told our people, make her happy. 299 00:26:36,990 --> 00:26:44,090 make so all right this is the time like there's so many times I thought I should 300 00:26:44,090 --> 00:26:48,570 come here but we probably we probably aren't gonna do this doing August this is 301 00:26:48,570 --> 00:26:55,890 like the worst time to try to plant but our people will be back okay and if 302 00:26:55,890 --> 00:27:00,970 they want to do the islands and I I guess we should keep that as you were saying 303 00:27:00,970 --> 00:27:03,690 I mean, the trees need a place to go, 304 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:04,970 and I can pick a different tree. 305 00:27:06,050 --> 00:27:06,650 I'll look through it. 306 00:27:06,670 --> 00:27:11,250 So they're non-invasive trees, so the question of them 307 00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:13,430 being invasive or not has been answered. 308 00:27:13,690 --> 00:27:14,530 So they're non-invasive. 309 00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:16,790 Well, the trees? 310 00:27:17,030 --> 00:27:18,250 The trees I don't know. 311 00:27:19,670 --> 00:27:23,970 That's not, according to Judy, Judy knows 312 00:27:23,970 --> 00:27:25,270 what she's talking about. 313 00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:28,110 So we've been, she's mistaken in this case, she is. 314 00:27:28,110 --> 00:27:31,590 Do you think she's in these are non invasive trees?
