Heck no, I have my own private small state here.
OK, a county.
and I am sooo happy I do not have to sit o my patio next to my $1200 koi pond, and listen to my neighbor's kids getting spanked and screamed at, or their love making, or their toilets flushing (and other potty noises) Seriously, their home, and all the windows open, was exactly 4 feet away from our backyard patio.
Why?
Cus their modular was installed in sidesways, so their back slider was smack at our backyard, the only way they could fit a home on the pie shaped parcel.
I left.
Even more wonderful was their collection of chihuahuas..they decided a day care and chihuahua farm was for them.
The yappy dogs would run up and down the aforementioned fence. No amount of pleading would keep this 'easement' space blocked off for our privacy..they had kids screaming & fighting, dog yapping & snarling at us while we sat on on patio.
They were entirely rude & unfair.
They went out of their way to go up & down the fence peeking and screaming kids , throwing rocks in our koi pond, through windows, and they insisted it was not them that through the rocks...
and dogs.
So much for my newly constructed art studio.
It was rude for them to expect us to just tolerate their noise and chicld care business, or their dog business.
For a while they had 8 or 10 chihuahuas and up to 16 toddlers in the yard there, 4 feet away.
The woman stayed in the house, and the kids would fight, over toys, dogs crying snapping & biting, kids tormenting dogs, garbage everywhere...crying kids, did I mention toddlers beating up 1 yr olds ?
Kids falling off the swing set, did I mention kids crying ?
Kids in pain ?
I cannot handle it.
And I could do nothing about it, and I did not want to be there anyway, why waste the last best years of my life having to put up with that applesauce?
I can feel for you. I am so sorry you had to deal with this. I agree with you 100%....why put up with this. A very good friend of mine has a neighbor, who BBQs in the nude. He has a Pie shaped property and complains (constantly) because their fence, or a tree, or a bush, or the hot tub (etc) is blocking his "view". Mind you, the pointy part of his property is where the "view" is and the "view" is not that great (as compared toi the friend's)...his is mostly hill side. And YES, they will be on their back porch trying to relax, nice glass of wine, hot tubbing, and he will come out in the nude and BBQ.
Rumor goes there is a guy down the road from us that washes his car butt naked too.
Haven't seen that.
No wonder there are always car accidents 2 houses from his place.
That neighbour has put a giant rock at his driveway to stop the cars from crashing his house.
