Argh!

I sit on a volunteer board and today they attempted to deliver some paperwork for me to read. They double-checked my address twice before sending the delivery driver, and then I got a call in the late afternoon saying "We're at {my address} but it looks abandoned so we don't want to leave the package. Please call and let us know what to do."

You have no idea how much I hate that and how often it happens! It bugs me that we've lived here over 10 months and the place still looks bad enough that people think that. It is also bad because places tend to get robbed when they look abandoned. Am I really the first person to live in a house undergoing renovations? Why do they just assume nobody lives here when all the signs of life are present, and there is a huge sign stating that renovations are going on?
