Dealing with old neighbors... (long)
A few weeks ago I discovered that the floor in my house was sagging, so
I went under my house and found out I had a termite problem in my crawlspace; the main support 6x8 beam was eaten up and rotting away. I had the entire 30' beam replaced professionally before my floor collapsed. Then I called a exterminator he came over and inspected everything and came to the conculsion the my neighbor is at fault. She has a carport that has dry-rotted lumber attached to the side of the carport from the ground-up. I believe this is true; because this ****-siding is facing my house and it is the same side that has most of the termite problem. The exterminator told me this attracts termites and my house is spaced out only 10 feet from her carport. BTW: This is a carport; except some dumbass thought it was a good idea to put 2x12 lumber along the side and is almost as old (60yrs) as the bitch using it: http://www.absoluterv.com/single_slope_carport.htm Now what do I do next? She is a 82 year old BITCH! You'll know if you met her. Two years ago I had a new roof and vinyl siding put on my house and she would come over to my yard bugging the contractors everyday saying stuff like: "I don't like that siding, it doesn't match the color of my window trim" or "I don't like the pattern of those roof shingles; change it" She delayed the construction by a whole week because of her bitchin. She bosses other neighbors around too, telling them what to do and when to do it! This old bitch is crazy!!! She mows her yard EVERYDAY!!! Takes pictures of everyone through the blinds of her windows and put them in their mail boxes and keeps a copy for herself. What the **** is that all about? I'm sure she kills the flowers and trees my wife plants, because they always die after being planted; my wife tried to plant them to block her view into our windows. Theres more and more to explain.... She also has a old lesbian friend from across the street who is the same way!!! Seriously; What can I do? Call a inspector? Call an exorcist? Thanks for reading this; Jack |

Thanks for reading this; Jack You can start off by stop being such an asshole. She's an old lady. She's making your life difficult, but getting nasty won't help. If you think she's mentally compromised, call social services instead of venting on a newsgroup. As far as the termites: http://www.agr.state.nc.us/str-pest/...nstruction.htm Termite colonies can be 20 feet under ground. If you knocked her house down, that wouldn't necessarily fix the termite problem. Maintenance, periodic treatment and observation are the only ways to deal with termites. If you do a good enough job on your house, the termites will find more palatable food, like her house. If your exterminator can't figure out how to protect your house, and give you a guarantee, he's not very good. R |

From my understanding she been like that her whole life. Social services got serveral phone calls from other neighbors complaining about her but nothing can be done about it!!! She destroyed my neighbors motorcycle; she lucky she didn't get killed (too bad though)!!! |

You use that kind of language about an old lady who has probably been there since "Leave it to Beaver" was popular, and you want to change her, it's not happening.

I'm not the only one in the block calling her names I'll guarantee that!!! |

I would just hook a chain up to the car and drag it down the street... She should be able to find it by following the tire marks along the road... She's 84... Wait for her to die and then go **** on her grave... You'll feel better... Hell, take a couple of 6-packs with you and make a day of it... |

"Gosh; Ain't she a sweet old lady, and look at this, the kind old lady park her car in my front driveway now can't drive to work; oh'well guess I'm going to have to walk the 7 miles to work no big deal" Same as above. But, you *are* talking about your driveway - not the road in front of your house, righit? My grandfather live in this neighborhood longer than she has; and according to him she ILLEGALLY built that carport 3 feet onto MY PROPERTY. I'm not the only one in the block calling her names I'll guarantee that!!! Pursue that with the town planning/zoning board. Calm down and deal with the problems as they occur. Banty -- |

If the carport is on YOUR property you have the right to remove the
part that infringes. That you can sue her for and you WILLwin. |

Look up 'open and notorious usage'. She may have a common-law easement. OP should find the corner pins for the lot and verify if what Gramps said is true. If that takes a survey, it is money well spent. If she is infringing, time to get with the city and find the local procedures for encroachment cases. aem sends... |

What universe are you living in? Because it ain't this one. |

Wow; This sounds familiar. I wouldn't blame you from the sound of your
frustration. My friend had a neighbor who was the same way until the old man was sent to a care home. Does she have family? Chances are, if she dies, her family would move in and would act the same way. People sue others for the dumbest **** nowadays, why don't you sue her for the damages her wooden siding structure caused? I agree that if the untreated wooden siding is touching the soil that would attract termites. If it was me who lived next to a mental-defective who ****ed with my motorcycle I would kill him or her. Mess with peoples personal items then she deserves the name calling then; regardless of age or mental state. All old people are like that sometimes; they "THINK" they own the whole neighborhood or they are powerful in some way. Also; Why does she mow the lawn everyday? Does her lesbian friend join in on the vibration action? Take pictures of them in action, then put the pictures in everyones mail boxes on the whole street!!! LOL |

1 .... Whether or not she harbors trmites is absolutely None Of Your
Business!. 2.......Whether the structure is on your property or not is legally posible to determine. 3.......Whether it is on your property on not may also depend up on the law known as "Sqatters Rights." Any action you take in haste may prove very expensive. 4........It appears she has been there muchl onger than you so no doubt knows whats legal. 5........So tread lightly until you know for sure where you stand. 6.........Last , but not least, Use some common sense.

Get your termite inspector to put in writing that the termites are from her
house, We will see how far you get with that? Then think about this, someday you might reach 82 and you will most likely still be bitching about the old lady that use to live next door to you. Lesbian there nothing like a good Lesbian story , spices up a post especialy one were the poster makes himself look like a A-Hole. Look at it this way you probley like the same sexual stuff as a Lesibin, I know I do! Maybe were all (men) Lesbian? |

Sacramento,
I read the guys post and it sounded like a crazy rant to me. Both houses have termite damage maybe. Do you really think this exterminator can say where the termites started. Jack's termites may have damaged her carport. She should sue. Dave M. |

Am I the only one that had a good laugh at this part?
Two years ago I had a new roof and vinyl siding put on my house and she would come over to my yard bugging the contractors everyday saying stuff like: "I don't like that siding, it doesn't match the color of my window trim" or "I don't like the pattern of those roof shingles; change it" She delayed the construction by a whole week because of her bitchin. She bosses other neighbors around too, telling them what to do and when to do it! Jack talks tough, but what kind of pussy would let a little old lady delay construction for a week like this? Simple enough to handle. Tell her to stay off your property. Tell the contractor and workmen not to talk or listen to her. If she comes on your property, call the police. If Jack can't handle this, termites are the least of his problems! As for the termite problem itself, the simplest remedy would be to have the termite company put a maximum strength barrier treatment along the side of his structure facing little old lady's carport. The only other remedy would be to get expert witnesses that would testify in court that the carport is infested with termites, they are creating a problem with your house, and there is no effective way to deal with it on your own property. If you can prove all that, which I think is unlikely, then you could prevail in a lawsuit. |
