Had roofers redo the roof awhile ago. I checked the lawn for errent nails thinking I'd find none or two. It went from mildy to infuriating.

You have to say these words: "hey there sparky, pick up your fucking garbage or I'm finding a different electrician." Hints, even not very subtle hints, will never stick.

They always do. Sparkies are solitary creatures, convinced they are the only electricians that exist. If you put two of them in the room together they'll whip each other 12ga wiring until a clear victor emerges. Weirdly enough, the rules for these matches are followed to a tighter standard than the standards for which color wire to use in any given situation.
