Well we were friendly towards them initially, the owner seemed neutral, his three kids keeps to themselves at first, but the owner’s mother was hostile from the start, when my dad first walked up to meet them when they moved here, out of nowhere she told him that she was going to put in a pig farm and there wasn’t anything we could do about it, and then she went on a rant about how she was going to slaughter her grandkid’s cow “they had a cow at the time.” After that they bought the kids motorcycles and some days they ride from 8am to nightfall up and down all of our mane road.Get a surveyor to establish the property lines ASAP and build a fence. Cameras are great idea, as well.
Do you think going over to the neighbor and saying you got off on the wrong foot would help? Explain that you'll hire a surveyor to determine the lot lines so no one has to guess who's on who's property.
We will never be on friendly terms with our neighbors, unfortunately. We bought the property from them and it ended in lawyers having to get involved when they wouldn't abide by the purchase and sale agreement. It's no good to start off in a bad place. I'm sorry you're going through this.
I wasn’t there to witness that but all things considered I don’t think she’s reasonable, we’ve never had issue with livestock, this is a rural area, so there’s no logic behind her moving here and assuming people she doesn’t know would take issue with it and also use it as a threat.
Hearing how she screams at her grandchildren most of the day and their dad just tolerates it, she’s the one running the show up there.
