sad but true (Dispute between neighbors)

[rgrizzle]

A city councilman in Utah, Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the

east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his

house and built a new home. The new home was 18 inches higher

than the ordinances would allow , so Mark Easton, mad about his

lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower

roof line ordinance. The new neighbor had to drop the roof line,

at great expense.

Recently, Mark Easton called the city, and informed them that his

new neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home.

Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to

investigate. When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view,

this is what they found...

Oh yeah, this is much better than 18" taller...

Sometimes things are better left alone.

My neigbor across the street puts up a BIG Christmas light show. This year it was REALLY bright. The light coming through the blinds in our bedroom was so bright that I could read by it.

I asked him to town it down, but he just put me off. I asked him if he could turn it off at, say 10:30 PM. He said no.

SO...

I installed a 40 foot menorah on my roof and lit it with those 500 watt halogen work lights (8 for the candles and 10 more for an outline). As Hannakah wen on, they kept getting brighter and brighter (and they were all aimes at his bedoom window!).

On the 5th night of Hannakah, he finally relented and agreed to turn off the lights at 10:00 PM.

It all worked out. We are still friends. He just had to undestand my POV.

neighbor wars can be funny, if handled in the right way.

BTW: The local Labbobich community (Ultra Orthodox Jews) really liked the display.

I would have given that neighbor a run for his money...

Hey in the country..the way the rednecks handle this stuff is with a nice little pigpen next to the property line as close to the offending neighbor as possible..you get sausage and results.
