For those who don't already know the story, here's a quick synopsis:

• My neighbor landscaped his tiny backyard for $13,000
• I put up a fence, he called the county to complain
• My neighbor parks both vehicles in his garage
• I park all 3 + trailer outside, he called the county several times to complain
• My neighbor had a 6'x8' shed custom built for $7000
• I've been known to store construction materials outside on the driveway, he called the county to complain
• My neighbor takes his car into a shop to get windshield wiper blades replaced
• I routinely change my own oil and work on my vehicles in the driveway and on the street
• My neighbor neatly bags all lawn clippings and throws them away with the trash to fill up the landfill
• I let the mulching lawnmower blade do its thing and recycle more than I throw out
• My neighbor has tried to start up a neighborhood association against me and 1 other neighbor
• I let my neighbors know that there were management fees and legal trusts that needed to be setup, and that I was against forming a HOA

Seems that the only way to prevent my perfectly legal activities is to start a homeowners association. When I let the other neighbors know that starting an association required hiring an independent management agency that would charge fees, require insurance binders, and need a fund created they quickly retreated.






His house is now up for sale.

 

Owned

 

Awesome.

 

CONGRATS!

I have a HOA but it is run by the residents.

 

Nice, my neighborhood wanted to start one but I and a few other will not sign off on it. Something about me paying dues each year and having someone else telling me what I can and can't do my own house is not something I'm going to do.

 

That's why I'm glad I don't live in a neighborhood. Living in the country = teh win But, Good job taking care of your neighbor. I've never understood how people can be such asses to the one's they live so close to. Oh well...you taught him a lesson

 

My HOA story:

I live in the woods. It's a subdivision, but the lots are 10-20 acres and you cant see another house from my house. Someone had the bright idea of forming a HOA two years ago. Out of 28 houses about 15 signed on, the rest said "No thanks.", including us. A year ago they sent out a letter saying that they were going to pave our main road, which was gravel since 1983, and that they wanted ALL the houses to pay. After a few threatening letters to us the lovely HOA sucked up the bill and ended up paying the $34,000 for the pave job.

For a month it was great. I had my own personal test track that was newly paved and sealed and had lots of grip. Then....they installed speed bumps. Fuckers.

I'm just happy I personally caused them to spend more money for speed bumps. I'm the first house on the road, so the speedbumps don't effect me unless I go flying past my house. Bonus.

 

Hhhahahah I fucking hate anal neighbors...good job

 

Good for you, man, seriously. That shit drives me nuts, my neighboors have called the cops on me, called code enforcement on me, held civic league meetings about me. ITS MY FUCKING HOUSE, I WILL DO AS I WISH.

Thats good shit.

 

I need to come over sometime.
