My neighbor keeps his trees trimmed, and his dog out of my yard. He
doesn't park in front of my house, either.

The problem is that I don't like it when he goes in and out of his
house during the day, and I like it even less when he goes in and out
during the night. Don't even ask me how mad I get when he uses his
fancy schmancy electronical garage door opener instead of the front
door.

Also, his porch light is way too bright. I think it's 40 watts, but
could be 60. Maybe even 100, I don't really know.

Oh yeah - he has zoysia grass, and I hate that.

And another thing - he has these thingies that hang at the edge of his
roof, and when it rains they collect a lot of water and divert it onto
his yard. This REALLY ****es me off.

He also keeps a big black round gizmo on his deck, and sometime he sets
it on fire and puts some sort of meat on it. The smell is awful. What
ever happened to cooking in your kitchen and sparing the rest of us
from knowing what you are going to eat that night?

PLUS when he does this he drinks beer, which is a sin.

I'll never figure out why people can't be good neighbors and get along
with me; I don't ask much, and I'm not petty like they are.

Have you thought about killing him? Might save the problem...unless he

Hey, you SOB, quit stalking me. Every time I turn on the porch light you
look at me. Every time I cook on the grill you watch me and turn your nose
up. I know you do this because my wife sees you when she is in the side
yard sunbathing in the nude.

You might try talking to him about it, but if he's rude enough to use that
thing, he'll probably "get a hard on for you" (or whatever).

So put some roofing nails under the garage door. That'll fix him.


Also, his porch light is way too bright. I think it's 40 watts, but
could be 60. Maybe even 100, I don't really know.

Somebody once blamed me for my light shining in their bedrooms at night, but I
know it's not my light because they said it was a 100 watt bulb, but I have a
150 watt bulb.


Oh yeah - he has zoysia grass, and I hate that.

Check the local zoning laws and botanical societies. If there is a law against
the grass or other concern, anonymously report him to the authorities.


And another thing - he has these thingies that hang at the edge of his
roof, and when it rains they collect a lot of water and divert it onto
his yard. This REALLY ****es me off.

At night, put a bunch of maple leaves in those. A had a brother in law who did
that for a neighbor - never had a problem with those thingies again.

Anonymously report him to the fire department. Tell the fire department that
fire is coming out of his roof - that way they'll get there faster. A brother
in law didnt' like a loud party, and he told the police that he had heard
gunshots. That way he got to police to come out faster. It may work that way
for you.

Yeah, I had a neighbor like that once. Even had the nerve to bring me homemade
jelly for Christmas presents, like I was on welfare or something and couldn't go
to the store. *******.

Build a big fence around your yard (preferably at least 8' tall) so you don't
have to look at all his yard with all that zoyzia and other stuff (neighbors
like that love to put on airs and plant lots of flowers and other
hoighty-toighty stuff in their yard).

Get a big dog and chain him out front of the house -- that'll keep him from
trespassing in your yard and acting all touchy-feely. Pile the dog poop
against the fence between your yards, preferably on his side. That'll drown out
some of the smell from that stupid outdoor cooking.

Call the neighbor and complain whenever he does something that ****es you off.
Most people are home from midnight to five in the morning, so that's the best
time to call. Oh, and be sure to call the cops and complain about the neighbor
as often as possible -- they're not doing anything 'cept eating donuts anyhow,
so make 'em earn their keep.

LOL! Thanks for the chuckle. Sure have been a number of morons lately
who don't know how to deal with life, huh? Amazing.

Yea, you definitly should never ask for others opinions Dan, it might
be found out that you dont know everything.

Funny I thought this NG was for homeowners to ask questions and share
knowledge with other homeowners.

You know whats really amazing is the morons who dont want to read or
hear about other peoples neighborly problems, yet they read the post
then insult them. Go figure...

PS. Linux sucks. Get a real OS. FreeBSD moron...

Blah, blah, blah. The property surrounding a home and the vegetation
growing on it IS part of that home. Maintenance. Repair. Whats the
difference? Semantics.

My shrink? LOL. Are shrinks supposed to know a lot about whats
appropriate for usenet posting? Get over yourself you intellectual

Maybe I(and others) stepped way over the line asking who's
responsibility is what, but I did. And I got helpful and reasonable
responses. Must not have been too OT. And you must have read them
getting so irrate about it. Why? Dont you have some trolls to police?

Uh huh. What would you know about Linux?
Enough to know not to use it. I like my webapps and db to be secure,
well, at least more secure than linux or win.

Yeah. Looks like you know nothing about it.
LOL, you presume because Im posting from a XP box that I know nothing
about linux? Wish I could be so presumptuous, but then again I'd know
I have my head up my ass if I was. You dont?

I used to use Linux: Slackware, Debian, Redhat etc, etc. Sure its free

Reading ANYTHING on usenet and then bitching about it is like ordering a
steak, eating it, then sending the empty plate back to the cook with a
complaint.

If a person doesn't like a thread, don't read it. That's how I deal with
it. YMMV.

Very seldom home repair, but mostly about how other people SHOULD act and

Well by the laws of Murphy I fix one thing another breaks. Just got my
back flow assembly replaced last week. This morning I noticed the
sound of water flowing through pipes in my back yard. It was my
irrigation system. One of the selenoid valves is not closing properly.
I know nothing about these valves assemblies. Could it be only the
selenoid or is it likely the whole assembly? Is current supplied when
the valve is open or closed?

Thanks,

I obviously know more about it than you, as I actually use it (which you

Normally solenoid valves "fail closed" if it's the solenoid itself. I suspect
either the controller has failed (permanently sending power to that particular
zone) or the solenoid valve assembly has gone belly up. Quick check with the
voltmeter will tell the tale...
