Im not sure I could, even though I would want to feel Im community minded (obviously not!)
Watching these garden make overs over the years, particularly the ones where they do a community project and usually for some reason involves having to ask nearby neighbours if they can access pipes or stuff under their property and they always say yes
Today was watching some garden rescue thing building a food bank up north somewhere and they basically need to ruin this womans garden, pull down the shed, fence, dig holes all over the garden and she says yes! I got anxious just watching
I turned over just as they realised its not just her garden they need to dig up either, they had to ask next door. So dont know the outcome, presumbly that neighbour said yes as well.
I think Time Team also used to do this.
What happens if the neighbour says no?
Would you say no?
Im not sure I could cope with the mess, intrusion and stress of it to be honest which would probably have me as a marked woman in the street!
