Default Neighbor problem (long)

...
4 yrs ago, new neighbors moved in adjacent to my property.

The neighbor talked about building a deck. He didn't have a clue how to
go about it. Being in the trades years ago, I volunteered to "help" him.
Needless to say, he was my helper. Tis ok, that's what I loved about our
neighborhood, everyone always offer to help someone else. BTW, this was
no charge for all my effort. He said once the deck was built, he would
have a cookout inviting all the neighbors.

While we were "at it", we took out his patio slider, replaced it with
French doors. I still have my brake & some coils of aluminum, so all the
exterior trim work was done at my expense.

Well, he threw a party all right. Inviting all his relatives and not one
neighbor, not even myself or my family. Ok, I need to get over it and
move on. But, he & his family are absolute pigs. The patio doors are
still leaning against his garage, 2 years later. He has trash such as
carpet laying out by the deck, which has been there for at least a year.
One neighbor moved away because this guy refuses to mow his yard until
the city makes him. He has a commercial sit down new "Scag". He parks his
trailer for the mower in his front yard. The city has made him move his
trailer numerous times.

There's no talking to this guy, he's has an excuse for everything. I told
him I seen mice in the carpet, he said he doesn't have time to dispose of
it.

His place is an eye sore, simply because he's lazy. I'm embarrassed to
have company over, cause from my deck, it looks like I live next door to
a dump. This guy has no less than 4 old snowblowers sitting around in his
back yard.

Aside from calling the city, and bothering them every week. Anyone have
any suggestions? Yeah, I could move. He's already chased one family out
of the neighborhood, really don't want to give him the satisfaction of
chasing out another.


Be thankful you don't live next door to some of these pigs on Usenet,
especially some of the ones whom responded to you.

It appears you probably live in a well to do area. Some of these pigs think
that is nothing of a mess because they are used to the trailer park life.

Count your blessings!

Grammar police are really bewildered why people say "WHOM" when it
should be "WHO"....responded to you. If you say it aloud, it sounds
totally weird. So why use it in writing? Supposed to be more
"elegant"???

Sorry about hitting the trailer park pig nerve.
