Sorry to hear about neighbor issues. Had them oursleves before and it sucks. Luckily we don't have them now where we live. Hope the situation gets better soon for you. Then the ants, dealt with those suckers before as well. They are hard to get rid of sometimes. Glad you got the busted water pipe fixed, that sucks and can cause lots of damage sometimes. Woo, defintely need air condtioning in the summer here. Can't imagine not having it with my breathing challenges.
Happy New Year and hope the best for you and yours.
