    New Neighbor and conflicted? LONG READ

    We live in a neighborhood where the lots are 1+ acre lots. Well the lot next to me sold and they started building. Soon after the wife came and knocked on my door to talk about the property lines. We went over the lines and she asked me if I wanted any of the natural vegetation removed on my property, I said no please don’t do anything on my property. Long story short the build site has been a complete mess; every time I mow I spend 10-15 minutes picking up trash from the contractors.

    At one point a parent older couple came by we talked and at the end I asked him if he could talk to their daughter and ask the builder to clean up the site. He directly rolled up his window and drove off; confused as to what just happened I just blew it off.

    Well we go on vacation and when we drive up all the natural vegetation on my property has been removed. I have this gapping view of their house and Garage. Naturally I am upset (very upset). I get out of the car and go talk to the wife property owner and I am loud I did not disrespect her in any way I was just loud. She said that it was not my property and so on she finally said I am not going to deal with you anymore. So I’m DONE. I go into the house and my wife asks me what I would do if someone talked to her like I did to my neighbor. I say you’re right.

    A day or two later she is sitting in her truck out front, I walk up to her door she rolls down the window and says” I am not dealing with you my son is in the car. I say I just wanted to apologize for the way I handled the situation it was inappropriate and I was really sorry. She says whatever and rolls up her window in my face. I walk away shaking my head.

    So now they are building an out building on the property, deed restrictions say that they must be built out of like materiel. Their house has no tin on it! Couple days later I talk to the builder he says they are going to use the brick and stone to cover the building, Great! He said he would talk to them about it also. A couple days ago I start getting calls from neighbors asking if that is a tin building and I tell them what the builder told me. So now the neighborhood is all up in arms about the out building.

    The developers agent calls them and say they can’t build a tin building. she says I know where this is coming from it’s the neighbor (me) and he says no it’s the neighborhood, she says then it must be you ( he is a builder and they chose not to use him, I guess a bit of bad blood?). She then says we are building the out building.

    She goes on to say that I have two toilets in my front yard and you know Blah, Blah, Blah. The only way for them to really see the toilets is to go snooping on my property. I am going to donate them to habitat for humanity pulled them out of our house about 4-5 months ago. Know I am so frustrated by the whole situation I don’t know what to do. I think they owe me some bushes or something to get some privacy back? I think I will make planters out of the toilets and put them somewhere in the yard I deem appropriate. What would y'all do?

                  If the bushes were on your property I would be contacting somebody about it. I would file a report and at the least get the guilty party to replant some bushes, hedges. Then plant 2 in the toilets and leave them where they would see them everytime they come out.

                    There is bound to be some kind of recourse if they came on your property to do the clearing, hope it all works out for you as it could get bad for a long time. Good luck

                            No fences allowed in front of main dwelling and yes the stumps cut are on my property. The high road is all good and well but... the smyte when I apologized is a character conflict I don't do well with. I was rude and what she did was well rudder... Out of all the conversations and contact I have yet to talk to her husband. I am hoping he will show up and do the right thing. Last night we got home about 1700 and they were sitting in the driveway just looking over our way. makes me want to MOVE! buy 10-20 acres and build right in the middle! I would really rather get along but everytime I walk out the garage I feel assaulted by the view of their garage and house....

                              Go back over there and get all up in their grill. Let them know who the Alpha is!



                              I hope you can come to a peaceful resolution.
