Our Neighbor Next Door

My partner and I had a pool installed in our backyard, a point of pride in having been able to achieve this goal. We have a two year old daughter. Our neighbor comes over and wants to know when we are going fence the pool, and ruin the whole ambiance of the pool. He stands firm telling me he had to dive into a pool to pull a toddler out, but it was too late.

With a put up a fence, or he was going to do for us he walked off. I learned from another angry with us neighbor, his daughter had drowned in the pool. He filled it in after that. We put up the fence, it ruined the view of the pool. Never again did I answer back or be put off. Whether we liked it or not we had an 'uncle' next door, with a keen eye on our well being and safety.
