Should I be concerned? Neighbor issues.
spoot:
This thread reminds me of my neighbor. I bought my house two years ago. I'm out in the garage and he wanders over to have a friendly chat. We start discussing the old homeowner and he goes on about how the chain link fence was installed wrong (so, sharp pointies at top) and then says the fence is his and proceeds to point out the property line and how the old home owner didn't believe him and they had to call in the city to say where the line was. After I pointed out I really had no concern over the property line unless I was gunna build sumthing, I looked at him and said I'm glad the fence is on your property for when/if sumone hurts themselves on the fence. He's not brought it up since. :cheers:
And yes, we still chat now and then.........he bitches alot about the "---goshdarn--- lezzies" that used to own the house. :laugh2:

Wow...you must live next to my father-in-law. Lesbians is impossible for him to say I think, just refers to 'There daughter is nice. She's a lezzie.'. My wife and I we're like '...WTF? :)'. By the tenth time we just walk away.

Hehe, this thread is really heading down some interesting avenues. :lol
About the above Fence property line comments: The fence was definitely mine, and the neighbors knew it as well. So I can't pin it on their ignorance. The first time I met my neighbors was our first night we stayed at our house. A police car chase involving about 8 cop cars had just ended in our front lawn. (That was a real "Oh, ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! What kind of place did we move into?" moment.) It was at least a nice segue to meet the neighbors at least. Our first conversation went something like this.
Neighbor: Hi, you must be the new Neighbor. (I'll cut out the awkward introductions and go to the awkward conversation)
Me: Does this kind of crime stuff happen here all the time?
Neighbor: I bet you hate your fence there.
Me: Huh? Wha..? Uh..it's an OK fence.
Neighbor: Yeah, but it is an ugly chain fence you have.
Me: I guess its a tad ugly. I dunno. Why you asking?
Neighbor: Eh. Hey, you like local baseball? I love local baseball.
Now the fence was obviously on my side of the property, but I don't know the exact property line. I remember reading that a new fence has to be something like 3-5 inches from the property line according to city code. If I put a new fence up, I might run into an issue with the neighbor trying to dispute that it is too close to the line. It costs like $300 to have the city survey the property line.
It also looks like the painters are back. Just got a call from the wife. She is going out to talk to them. There will be more development today.

At this point, I'd just let them paint the ---smurfing--- thing, but tell them that if they get any paint on your ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that you're going to hold them liable. Damn. I'm fustrated FOR you. :cheers:
