Annoying Neighbors...

[penguinz]

People behind us put up a new privacy fence and faced the unfinished side to all the neighbors.

They had a fence company install it. You would think the fence company would be aware that it is a code violation to face the unfinished side to neighbors.

If they had installed correctly there would not not be a 5" gap that I now have to fill between the new fence and our adjoining fence so our dog can't get out.

As many as 10 of these guys living in this 1,500 sq ft. house at a time, hanging on in the front of the house, chain-smoking, eating fast food and dumping their garbage and cigarette butts on the ground and leering at my teenage daughter as she came and went from the house. We asked them to be more courteous and they became hostile and escalated their conduct of turning their home and the neighborhood into a trailer park. Mind you, this is a neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes. Finally the whole neighborhood got together and forced the owner to evict the renters on threat of holding them liable for maintaining a nuisance. Terrible year.

Which coastal hellscape do you live in?

Asshole neighbor is putting up a deck
At least this way, I wont have to look at his fat ass bitch wife when they are out.
Also, it will be high enough that when I am on my deck, I wont see their light that is on 24/7

5 says he paints it white

[Eureka]

You should offer to help thy asshole neighbor. Maybe, he'll turn a new leaf.

My crazy cat lady neighbor has gone silent due to me trying to be nice.

That bridge has been blown up since I was verbally abused last year.

Glad you posted this. Hope the deck falls off the house. Big wet snow crash.

On another observation, those posters who bitched about Rhubarb are scum. Rhubarb is one of the great joys in life.

Threepeat gonna happen

Could-not sure he got a permit. Hope he gets busted. Or I call him in.

Yes, rhubarb is great. We get ours from a friend.

I bought 2 acres and cut down every one of them the first week. And the mysterious Bradford pear. Screw those weak bitches, too.

threads like this make me really appreciate my neighborhood. Everyone is very polite and minds their own business.

Ours is too, except for him. When I explained to him a few of the CITY rules and where the property line was, and he was driving his junk on my property, he told me he could do what he wanted and I should just stay in my lane. He only cares about himself and not about city code. I would do about anything for anyone in my area, except for them.

Agreed, we are so fortunate to have so much distance between us here. Our biggest asshole neighbor died a little over a year ago and his wife shortly after.

The trees here are a constant battle as they were all volunteer and hap-hazard as this used to be cattle grazing ground prior to the lake/dam.

Have been planting desirable trees for the last decade. Colorado Blue Spruce, Peach, Plum and Austrian Pine. One of the peach trees just died along with a loblolly pine, my favorite and the Cherry tree. About to give up on dogwood after 6 failures.

Fig trees have done extremely well and many of the neighbors look forward to enjoying the figs in the fall and plums in the summer.

I have taken down 34 cedar trees, a monster 100 ft tall Sycamore and now the Emerald Ash Borer has attacked our three Ash trees. I hired the biggest one removed two weeks ago and just noticed the other two starting to lose their bark.

Years ago I lived at a house that had a tree that we called a gumball tree. I have no idea what the real name was, but it shed seed pods that were about 1.5 inches in diameter with sharp points all over them. You couldn't mow and you couldn't rake with those things all over the yard. Anyone know the tree I'm talking about? It was a big tree, so if you planted one you could ruin half of the neighbor's yard at the cost of also ruining half of your own yard.

I didn't realize what these were called. We had them at our old house.



They would produce spikey balls that were green at first, then turned brown. Seemed like every other year was when they would produce an overwhelming amount of these spikey balls. We called them ankle breakers. We would rake them up every 2-4 weeks and they would fill one of those big yellow lawn bags. We had one on our property near the street and so did our next door neighbor. Both had been there for decades and the roots were causing the sidewalk to come up. My kids loved it when they were young as they used them for skateboards and bike ramps. We hated those trees. We had the one on our property cut down and the sidewalk fixed a few years before we eventually moved.

Those remind me of a tame version Goat head weed.
