    2 and 6 might be acceptable if the location was communicated to the homeowner or done at their request. When done without communication, it amounts to making things more difficult for the homeowner. As for labeling number 3 as bad driving, my house is in the middle of 5 acres and 300 feet back...

    I am not sure about that - Fed-Ex, USPS, UPS, Amazon - all have demonstrated less than stellar performance over the years at my house. In addition to the latest incident regarding claiming they could not deliver because I was not available when I was, I have experienced all of the following...

I ran masking tape all around the back part of the riser and then ran the riser through the table saw to remove the back 4.5 inches. I...
