Neighbor problem (long)

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. Plant a high hedge. I like the idea, but unfortunately it would have to be really high. Here's a picture of part of the mess from the top tier of my deck. It's obvious the date it says it was taken is not correct. I took the picture today. http://www.flickr.com/photos/6229199...in/photostream Heck, that's not bad- half an hour with a pickup truck and it's all at the dump. Even if you have to rent a truck it's cheaper than getting ulcers or high blood pressure over it. |

I've seen the mice, and he's complained of ant problems. Lord knows carpet holds moisture, which ants love. Maybe in due time he'll be infested and he'll get chased out. I'll get a picture of the back yard with the snowblowers, or with the trailer parked in the front yard. I'll be darned if I ever have to pick up after grown ups, even my 4 yr old knows enough to pick up after himself. |

Even if you have to rent a truck it's cheaper than getting ulcers or high blood pressure over it. You're correct, "That's not bad", if you don't mind rodents. I've seen the mice, and he's complained of ant problems. Lord knows carpet holds moisture, which ants love. Maybe in due time he'll be infested and he'll get chased out. I'll get a picture of the back yard with the snowblowers, or with the trailer parked in the front yard. I'll be darned if I ever have to pick up after grown ups, even my 4 yr old knows enough to pick up after himself. You can add me to the guys that thinks it is no big deal. There are neighborhoods around here where every blade of grass must be in place, but fortunately I don't live in one of them. If you don't like ants and mice, what are you doing living in the suburbs? Ants and mice are everywhere, not just the suburbs. Actually, the mice in the suburbs and rural area are more colorful than their city cousins. I've caught calico mice of brown, orange and white coloration here in the rural area. I though the multi colored mouse might have been just local. Years ago I had a hot rod Vega wagon. A mouse set up housekeeping on the motor. I picked up one of the little ones still without fur. Her comes Mama from around the edge of the driveway. Up onto the motor and plucks the little one right from my hand. She was a beautiful chestnut, white and brown with black borders around the colors. I've never seen a mouse like that before or since. |
