For the guys above.. I'm not trying to trash the guy. I'd much rather have someone whom take pride in their place living across from me than some redneck or hood punk that has 3 broken down cars in the yard, with the place looking like shit.

It just seems this guy is almost border-line obsessed with it. My parents have a place up here they stay at part of the year and oddly enough they have a neighbor across from them that is just like this guy.

Their neighbor cuts the grass two to three times a week until it snows. When fall hits the guy is out there every day raking or vacuuming up the leaves.

It just seems odd to me that people can get so fixated on one thing spending so much time doing something that the average person wouldn't want to do in the first place. I can understand gardening as a hobby and so on, but just seems so damn excessive.
