Garage Sale Fail

On Saturday, October 24th our neighborhood had a garage sale.  I was one of the coordinators that put the event together.  It was going to be a beautiful day so I expected to sell most of the items I had out.  I was set up by 7:45am.  That's when things went down hill.  The guy that is building home on the lots that Perry Homes (our builder) didn't finish decided to pour concrete on 3 lots - on our street!!!  If you don't know anything about construction (not that I know a lot despite working for a builder) that equates to about 9 concrete trucks.   With all of these trucks lined up and down the street, NO ONE was coming the garage sale.  I was ready to hit that stupid construction guy.  The neighborhood already strongly dislikes him and this didn't win him any points.  By 9am, I had one visitor and no prospects in sight so I packed all our crap back up and headed inside.  Fortunately, we didn't have much stuff.


I later walked around the neighborhood and found that people on the other streets were very happy and had been very successful.  I don't want to have another sale until all the other lots are finished so that jerk won't ruin it for us again.
