Yes. He’s Italian and runs an Italian wine importing business. He frequently runs into the problem of having too many expensive opened bottles of wine that needs drinking or they will go to waste (he has to do frequent tastings to wine buyers at restaurants/retailers/etc.). I’m such a great neighbor that I volunteer to help him do this this task for free.

I do, my friend and he husband live right across the street. They are messy, loud and have constant visitors and family, the loudest Chevy in town, but they are wonderful, fun people. He remodels log cabins and paints and remodels kitchens. She’s a stay at home mom.

The people we share the back fence with. They BBQ a lot. And by a lot I mean a good four nights out of the week the dude will be out there BBQing. But if I am out in the shop he pops his head over the fence and asks if I want some steak and a beer. I go over for a beer a lot but steaks aren’t happening.

But a few weeks ago my sisters oldest kid came up from Arizona to help replace the roof on the garage so I could move my woodworking stuff in there. Like a groundhog he popped his head over the fence and asked what we were doing. Then he came over and helped redo the roof. Probably spent a good 20 hours helping and he even brought us beers.

He is from Peru which is cool since a really good friend of mine is also from there so it is fun to chat with him about that. We have wildly different beliefs about Guinea pigs.

But he is a licensed electrician and he said he would wire a 220 outlet in the garage once I figure out exactly where I want my table-saw. I technically know how to do it. But I am smart enough to not fuck with wiring. Especially 220 with a saw with a big steel table. Not rolling those dice.

@KNOWITALL -They do sound fun!
@ragingloli -Visit often to keep good relations.
@johnpowell -Now that is a nice neighbor. Do you have a large workspace? I can’t wait for my hub to move his tools out of my studio area.As for electric? I have my hub do all that stuff as I can’t be trusted with it. Lol
