Interesting alternate views from Front yard to Back yard.

Back Yard - Brisbane City Council construction project - with a noisy concrete cutter - who appears to have several hours to go and no advance notice when this is about 3 meters from our back fence. When the paperwork states that particularly noisy operations neighbours should be given advance notice. There is about a 5 meter pink line that they are cutting. Basically a lack of community awareness.

Front Yard. - A private company is mowing a large commercial yard near us, and we have come to a deal, he dumps the grass clippings in our yard (so we get compost), and it saves him time and money having to bag the grass and take it away. So its a Win / Win for both of us. Basically what community is about - helping each other out. You can see the pile of grass in the second image, and the guy mowing in the background.

Summary:

It was interesting that just after the concrete cutter started, the mower guy showed up with the next batch of Grass clippings for us, which is what made me notice the extreme differences.
