Or do the job when they are out, if they are being difficult. There's
no recourse for them even if they find out.

The arsewipe living next to me did that. After removing his half
of the semi-detached pair of garages and building an extension,
he fitted a huge pole with a massive freeview rig plus FM halo
aerial and sky/freesat dish on his new gable end.

It appeared when I was out and he could only have done it
by plonking his ladder on my garage roof.


My parents' neighbours - the best neighbours you could have - had a car
port put up by another neighbour who was a builder. He put one of the
steel support poles *inside* my parents' steel gatepost (there was a
gate allowing access to and from each other's gardens) and ran the
downpipe from the gutter onto my parents' (at the time leaky) garage roof!

He refused to put it right, so we left the support as it was and re-did
the gutter so it emptied directly into ours. Our neighbours rapidly fell
out with the neighbour who'd built it for them.
