If it happens again what about writing her since she probably has her mail forwarded? Include a copy of the city ordinance about where snow can be dumped. For instance, snow cannot be shoveled into the streets or alleys here (much to the consternation of our neighbors who think it is fine to create gigantic ice ridges that block everyone in their driveways). She is responsible for damage to your property caused by her contractors, and I'd think if she is a good neighbor at all she'd want to know sooner rather than later.

And, I'm with you on the wool garments. If I've bought a sweater that still has the lanolin in it, why would I wash it right away? Complain away. I'd like to outlaw candle and potpourri shops from all indoor malls.
