I am livid, but hubby will be home in 10 minutes and they are just now pouring the concrete. Guess who won't be getting in the driveway easily. Then he gets to find out that nobody was informed that this was happening. If this keeps up, and we aren't told when they dig up the road in front of our driveway, there will be a real fiasco.

Well, the contractors working on the place next door are pouring foundation today. Did they inform anyone who will be impacted by having access to driveways blocked? NOPE!!!!! :mad: Um, what happened to common courtesy? :barnieI actually had to tell them they needed to let a neighbor know that their driveway will be blocked. :barnie:he You know, people around here do have lives, and it would be a good idea to let the neighbors know when stuff is getting done that impacts them. :rant:rant:rant:mad::mad::mad:

I just got off the phone with the neighbor... they didn't get notified. :he:he:he



Rant over :oops::oops::oops:

So incredibly rude! :mad:
Why would they think it's ok to block people in???

You rant whenever you want to hon. :hugs

There are things that need ranting about sometimes.

I can't get to the feckers to do anything. It is like he built a "house" left maybe two feet of space behind it where the ratty trees are, one is pretty much touching his house. Then there is my privacy fence. So they are in a house/fence sandwich. They aren't small either, they are easy 15ft tall and straight "leaning but no limbs".

Do you want anything to grow there ever
 
Years ago I was told a story by a friend--
Some college age kids moved next door to his elderly grandma. They would throw ragers over the weekend and park in her front lawn. My friend was big guy-- 6' 3" 300lbs. He went over to talk to them. They didn't care. Very small town, the police said oh well.
So friend pounded stakes into the ground. Tall enough you could see them and if parked next to would be over window level.
They parked right up next to them. Knocking some over the whole nine yards.
So he keeps putting them back. They kids think it's a big joke.
Until he put screws into the stakes. Just long enough that they poked out the other side. He waited until the party started and the kids being all cocky pulled up in their usual parking spots-- eeeeiiiirrrr! As they scraped the paint off their own cars.

@april29 As part of the buying process we paid $150 for a survey.
They literally went online to the auditors website and printed the map.
I could have done that for free!
To get any kind of stakes or markers it's $1500. :eek:
Finding the lines and getting the wood pile moved is on the list. Unfortunately the list is more like a "to-do notebook."

:lau I have the same problem
 
It's frustrating because of the what-if's. Today I didn't have anything going, but there are appts every week. I'm job hunting, kids have places to be, and I'm the one taking them when I'm not working. DD#3 has appts that we have to schedule way in advance, like 4 months out, and if we end up missing one of those because of our driveway being blocked, and not being told about it, that's another 4 mos before she can be seen by that specialist. If I have an interview and am blocked in, that's a job that I could lose out on because I want aware that I wouldn't be able to leave when I needed to. DH only had to think about getting home from work, and it's an inconvenience to have to park on the road and walk up the driveway. He doesn't have to deal with breaking to leave during normal business hours for stuff like appointments, getting DD#4 from school at a specific time so she can be to her college class on time, and other things like that. I explained all of that to DH, so maybe he gets it (though I'm not going to hold my breath).
 
Is there a site foreman? I'd complain and say it's an issue for emergency reasons.
The ambulance isn't going to drive around looking for your driveway because it's blocked and they can't find it.
If it continues I'd call the police. There is a non emergency number you can call. Just say you've talked to them repeatedly and they keep blocking you in with no regard for how you would leave if there were an emergency.

They can get a ticket for blocking a driveway

Served them right. I have seen people put big rocks on the edge of their lawn so people don't drive on it.
