FENCE AND WATER

[not2cleverRed]

Just so you know how much they are perhaps you may want to begin shopping for so called outdoor nanny type cams or cameras that can be placed inside the home at a window incase you find that you have to begin to record the outside of your property ?

With night vision.

Wendy, be cautious.

I literally started to do that! I am going to install them this weekend. Do you think they would do something to the house?

What are they going to do? You guys are scaring me. I will get one with night vision.

More than likely they'll do nothing. Keep in mind: we may be a little jaded as we get all sorts of horror stories here. So it's kinda like asking an ER doc "tell me the worst thing that can happen on my daily jog" and then, he does.

But unless you're living next to a Hell's Angels clubhouse, the odds of them being malicious (versus clueless and annoying) are probably low. That said, in general I think that security cams are a good idea. With any luck, the most interesting thing you'll ever capture is a coyote with cubs wandering through your yard.

Thanks for the response. It's actually a very sought after area for IT millennials that believe they own the world Their new house is twice the price of my old house and twice as big. BUT, remember they are very green people. Huh. I just found out the surveyor could not complete the job because they are on my property with their fence. They need to move their fence asap. How do I tell them this? Really what is the time limit supposed to be etc.? Thanks.

 

[Wendy217]

Actually, I just told the county to deliver the news. So, when that happens they have ten days to remove their fence. I can then get my survey completed. I hope they listen to the county.

That’s surprising. I haven’t checked your state’s laws but in many of not most a surveryor has a legal right to tread where he needs to to perform his work

A fence alone would do little to stymie a surveyor from performing his work.

I thought that would be the case too. I think my surveyors were in fear of these fools. The county will tell them to remove their posts within 10 days. I don't have to do the dirty work. This is why my taxes are more than my mortgage

The fence inspector came and said that only during the permit process would they be made to take their fence off of my property. Ugh. He said to watch for the permit and then protest it then. I guess I will get an imperfect survey and go to court if I have to. This is crazy. The other inspector is working on the water issue so I just basically have to stay on top of all of this.

 

[Wendy217]

Inspector called this a.m. and told me the neighbors agreed to move their fence. I don't have to go to court. Also, they now have to pull a permit for the fence that is already installed. As you may remember, their other work has completely stopped. They have to rectify the issue.

 

[Shadowbunny]

That's a great update, Wendy217. I hope that you have many peaceful years in your home.

 

[not2cleverRed]

Let's hope that indeed they rectify the issue, and learn from the experience the value of being a considerate neighbor - or at least a non-obnoxious one.

 

[Wendy217]

Thank you for your support. We'll see what they do next.

 

[Wendy217]

New news!! They told the county inspector that I was lying. They said they did nothing with the backyard landscape. Thank you God that we have pictures showing truckloads of dirt brought in for their project.

Great to hear you can back up your version of events. I used to think the event paparazzi were paranoid. Now I think not taking pictures of everything one sees as suspicious as a failure.

Best of luck in your situation. The worst part of it all is that regardless of the outcome, they will still be your neighbors.
