My garage is brick and windowless, so it would be the perfect spot for a grow op- I mean, plant room. There's some Vietnamese behind me that dug out their entire crawlspace eight feet deep and have a huge commercial growing operation under the house. The lights were so bright that I saw it leaking around the old access panel, and I could see heads moving around at ground level through those cracks. Not my typical area of focus, but I made a report and submitted it to my "friends," and they surveyed it a couple times to visually confirm everything. We thought we had a really good bust too. Turns out they use the house as a "church," and grow "medicinal herbs" underneath. We still have no idea how they got all of that dirt out of there without my seeing it done. It had to take months to dig that thing out and reinforce the footers. Only thing we can guess is they did all that work while adding a small addition, which means it had been going on for years before I happened to see it glowing at 2A.

Are you serious? Your neighbors did that! Holy crap! They dug 8 feet down? Woah! That does sound like a huge operation! It is hilarious to think of you seeing a bright light at 2am and seeing heads moving at ground level! I love it that you made you made a report and thought you had big bust coming! It’s so funny that after all that it was just that they are using their house for a church and growing “medicinal” plants as well! I bet you & your friends were just about dying laughing! God knows I am! How tricky that they must have done this while building an addition! Very convenient! Hey, at least you tried to turn in what you thought might have been illegal activities! I probably might have done the same thing! I did have a similar experience. This was a couple of years ago now but a house that’s a little further down my street was selling drugs out of this guy’s house. People thought it was odd that this 23 year old guy managed to buy the house in cash. Not only that but there was always a big moving trucks appearing after midnight or so dropping off “the goods”. They finally caught the bad guy and as far as I know he’s still in jail. Believe it or not my neighborhood is full of good & decent people. This was the one and only time we’ve ever had trouble! Just thought you’d think it was interesting! Thank for all the wonderful replies to me and yes even for the help!

Re: A short introduction...
Most neighborhoods are full of good people. Every now and then you get crap. We didn't think it was funny. From everything I saw and documented, we had a pot op going on. Why in the hell would you grow legit herbs underground? We were going in for weed, and we got daisies.
As for the underground GREENhouse (as opposed to GROWhouse), you just excavate like a basement, line it and put the greenhouse on top. It was an ingenious idea.

Yes you’re right the underground greenhouse is a good idea. I am glad that you explained it to me though. Now I understand a little bit better. I wanted to tell you that there is a reason that this is not in the books for me as of yet. I’ll have to message you to explain further.... Thanks again for your helping me out by giving me ideas about what to do with my plants in the future! Plus I would like to say I never meant any offense.

Re: A short introduction...
Yeah I really am starting to consider it! Well, my tobacco plant never got more than 3’ or so. So there wasn’t much to it! Yeah it’s pretty funny that I don’t smoke but yet I am growing tobacco! Believe it or not I was not going to do anything with the leaves! I probably would have thrown the entire plants out or even given the leaves to a relative who smokes! Love the Scott comment! Very funny!

Re: A short introduction...
Actually, if you want to hear when I took the mic away from him, go back to one of the early Christmas specials. He was cyber-dating one of the backup vocalists for the Jingle Cats, and wanted me to play a file called Jorgs Crimmus tunZ.
Now, for everyone else on here scratching their heads over all of this, my dumbass cat supposedly produces my radio show.

Re: A short introduction...
Yeah, his spelling used to be atrocious. He gave me a handmade Father's Day card one time, and it looked pretty good. He told me he'd been practicing writing on a piece of scrap paper on the desk. It turned out to be my resume.

Re: A short introduction...
Aww, ain’t that so sweet! George made you a Happy Father’s Day card by hand! He then goes on to tell you he had been such a good boy practicing writing on a scrap piece of paper! Which you then found out later was your resume! All I can say is “No, no little kitty!” Doug that is just so freaking funny! I am honestly dying laughing over here! Is it me or could this this whole thing be any funnier?!

Re: A short introduction...
If there's an old episode titled Father's Day. listen to it. It'll be on there somewhere.
Oh wait, they only archive back to like 100 or something. I'll have to check my computer. If I can find it, I'll cut it out of the file and email it to you.
