I knew he would be moving soon. I will miss him.
But the cheek of actually taking the paving slabs that were "roughly laid" on his driveway into a van and taking them with him is the ultimate piss take:-)
He just took them 15 minutes ago.
BTW. He still has a van and a car parked at the bottom of the drive.
But that can be varied in the contract.
But the paving slabs were hardly fixtures and fittings.
They weren't fixed, and they didn't fit.

LOL!
Sounds like quite a convincing argument really ;-)
Frankly, the new owner would want to put something better in, if at all. Perhaps he/she/it wants a garden.
Repo? Expect some crashing and banging from next door.

My new neighbours will be a couple with one child AFAIK.
He is a plasterer. He could come in handy-)
If he does rendering, he might even have a cement mixer :-)

In which case, he probably took one look at the driveway and said "make sure you take that with you!"
My new (1 year) neighbough has just complained about
1a He had to demolish a perfecty good brick garage to access space to build this new prefab garage beyond it. This exposed one side of my (single-skin) brick garage - which was convienient for him to lean large chunks of concrete against - had to ask him to remove them.
Didn't you write about this as it was happening? If not here, maybe in "another place."

Back in my childhood days, when new neighbours moved in, they told us that their predecessors had taken with them ... the light fittings. I was too young to enquire precisely what that meant, but it was well before the days people had posh things like chandeliers.

Certainly, I've heard of them removing light fittings, door handles, bulbs and in one case a couple of doors.
I did indeed - but the tree & light developments are new and exciting.
Indeed they are. I can't remember off hand if you told us about their diverting the water into the neighbours garden but I do remember you mentioning that you'd stopped them doing it in yours.
Glad to see you are maintaining your sense of humour through this.

For when you cut your finger? :-)
bulb holders, leaving just a pair of bare wires - seen it
When looking for our first house, we looked at one which had a warning notice in the fireplace - "don't turn on the gas"
The previous owners had not only taken every lightswitch and fitting, they had removed an inset gas fire, by cutting through the pipework on the supply side of the gas point, rather than uncoupling it from the point!
I cannot find it ATM but there was a case a few years ago where someone did that and either seriously injured or killed someone. ISTR they went to jail.
