neighbor called the cops. ON TOPIC...

I live out in the country now, after 25 years in town and fighting with the neighbors. The area is getting pretty well built up but the lots are BIG and I have a little over 5 acres. Whenever someone new starts to build I always make it a point to be one of the first to welcome them into the neighborhood. I make it clear that I'm the NOISY neighbor but if they have any complaints I'll be willing to NEGOTIATE. I also let them know I have a well equipted shop and anything they need (tools, welding, etc.) I'm there for them.

So far the only thorn in the bunch is the bitter old lady who was one of the first to build out here. She makes it her duty to complain about EVERYTHING. Now the township realizes she is a****** but they are obligated to follow up on complaints.

F@#$IN neighbors! The****hole who lives next to me started complaining the day I started building my shop that it blocked his veiw, it was too big, it didnt match the architectural "style" (30x48 steel) of the neighbor hood, ect. Hell I checked for code and covenent restiction before we bought the place. The final straw was when the guy, who by the way runs a commercial cabinet shop out of His shop (which IS illegal), came over to "make sure" I wasnt about to open a commercial garage! Frikkin hypocrit! I kindly****urred him I was'nt and told him to get the hell out.Have'nt spoken since.

 

When the people across the road from my place come knocking on my front door to complain about the noise. I'm moving.

 

I agree with getting along with the neighbors, even if you have to go the "extra mile".

But, when all else fails, place cat food on the neighbors porch eight days in a row.
Increase according to the amount of cats that show up for dinner.
