get even vengeance

[rebar]

I guess the only one around here who knows me somewhat is hubeerjw., And maybe cop runner.. But regardless.. I'm not to much of a freak of nature.. Pretty mild mannered if you respect my boundaries..

But my neighbor has crossed those.
First.. I'm building a 8x12 shed to store my lawn crap and some spill over after my parents passed.. City said I could.. Neighbor, who Iv always treated with respect, jumps me and rails me about how "his house is worth less since I'm building my shed." It dawned on me Iv mentioned I wanted a shed plenty of times in conversation with him.. But apparently he forgot.
Neighbor went on to say.." my shed looked like a trailer without wheels." Well... he got it a month later after I bought my 24' toy-hauler..:rofl_200: My new ugly shed in tyvek and a 24' camper/toyhauler.. :rofl_200:

So he calls the city who plasters a yellow notice on my door saying things need to be straightened out after 48hrs.. :biglaugh: I need rock under my trailer.. :biglaugh: Like rock's going to make a big white trailer look good in a five star neighborhood. :rofl_200:

So yea.. I'm gonna put edging and rock under my god damn toy-hauler cuz the city requires it. But the real question is how much **** will this crusty neighbor of mine take.? Im ready to find out.. I think I need a big wrap sticker installed on HIS SIDE of my trailer.. Something really obnoxious but legal.

Any suggestions?

Read a story a while back about a guy who was building a house that turned out to be too tall ( per local ordinance ) , across the street from his neighbors house which blocked his neighbors view of the local mountain landscape , ( his neighbor was the one that turned him in ) . Local authorities made him lower the height of his house by a few feet ( expensive ) , in order to comply with regulations. However, when he lowered the house , he also changed the siding , on the side that faced his neighbor with the look of a fist , with the middle finger sticking up. :rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

Those are all good idea's. Maybe a smiley face? Or a big picture of me smiling? :rofl_200:

This really sucks.. Its crunch time to get ready for my colorado trip beginning of august and now I have this project dropped in my lap when it's 100 degree's outside..:bang head: Dead line is the 16th..

 

[gamorg02]

actually a huge picture of yourself, smiling is pretty funny.

Life is far too short to take up this kind of vendetta with a neighbor who, it sounds like, merely wanted you to comply with local regs.

Be the better man. Suck it up. Bring your property into compliance. Invite your neighbor over for a grill out and fugettaboutit. Easier on the heart and soul. Plus, you'll sleep better while on that great trip you have coming up.

Thing is.. he wants my shed and trailer gone.. Me spending a couple hundred in stone and rentals isn't going to make anyone happy.

Make peace as best you can but remember:

This one? :rofl_200:

Romans 12:19 "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord". Matthew 5:39 "turn the other cheek" etc.

If you have trouble following those passages from the bible, I'd suggest you wait at least three months before cutting his tires, spraying his lawn with grass killer, or other, similar, paybacks...........cause the part about being served cold has good merit. lol


ps. I'll trade your goody-two-shoes, uppety neighbor for mine. Mine are a bunch of thieves.

I have a few observations and suggestions.
1) unless the items you mention turned your yard into a miniature version of the outskirts of Mexico City, this guy is a major league jack wagon. NOTHING you do will change this.
2) This type generally flipps from off to ON, without any chance of reversal.
3) This type tends to be smug vindictive and out of touch with reality all the while having no real understanding of liberty.
Now the most important....
4) The measures you take to solve this should never, EVER, be posted on the internet. End of story, nothing good will come from it.

How about a nice shrub that you could trim into a flying bird. And I don't mean a eagle or a duck!:biglaugh:

Go to your local hunting/fishing supply store and pick up a small bottle of fox urine(Cover scent for hunting)-Accidentally spill it down the defroster vents of his vehicle.......:biglaugh:

 

[KJShover]

Eat some fish, save the juice that comes from the raw fish that is in the container. put the fish leftovers in a container with the fish juice. let sit for a couple of days, then pour the contents around his place. Return the calling favor to the powers that be about how his place smells offensive.

 

[johnpclynch]

Invite him over for beers, let him sit on your bike.
It won't be long before he has a shed of his own to get away from his nagging wife

 

[PDWeyand]

no good will come of it and will it really make you happy?

I have worked as an urban planner, and am a certified plans examiner and zoning inspector, and life safety code/fire inspector in FL.

First thing to do is, contact the supervisor and code enforcement officer or member of the department that gave you the notice of violation. Be polite. Write to them and ask for a month of time to get a local business to take care of this for you, because they can't deliver your rock to your prepped site within the timeframe the community mandated.

The city/county/etc. should normally grant your request. #1, you have acknowleged the notice of violation, you #2, have contacted a local business about bringing you fill, you #3, have recognized the need to contain the crushed rock via site improvements, and #4, you asked for a reasonable timeframe to accomplish the work. Even if you intend to do this entire project yourself, do this/tell them this.

All the local government is interested in is seeing the local code followed. Be glad they are not asking for a 'paved surface connecting to a thoroughfare or surface street,' something many jurisdictions do!

In the interests of maintaining relations w/your neighbor, do not fall prey to the idea of retaliation. Local judicial bodies will recognize it for what it is and you are just going to pick a scab that can easily become infected. People get shot over things like this that just escalate, you don't need to have your life negatively affected by seeking retribution, even though there would be a satisfaction quotient to stuffing his face into a steaming pile of canine or bovine manure.

Follow the steps I told you and you will be able to put it behind you, and return to your life apart from such issues. It is easy to sink into a neighborhood war of retribution, and all that will do is make you miserable and possibly end very badly.

If you want to know exactly what you need to do, go to your local jurisdiction's website and at either the Building Dept. or Planning & Zoning Dept. website section, you should find some-sort of link to city or town or county code of ordinances. Use the search function to investigate topics like parking of recreational vehicles, trailers, or boats, and driveways. Use any or all of those to find what your requirements are under the adopted ordinances. You will also be able to find-out what your property's zoning classification is which is what tells you what part of the code of ordinances covers your property. There will probably be a link to a GIS map which shows your parcel specifically. Sometimes it is located at the property appraiser's website under a tab for maps and aerial views, or something similar. Note that there may be one clasification for zoning and another for future land use, which is required for areas of population where the housing is more-dense, i.e., urban areas. They may-be the same in name, but they are not the same, nor do they mean the same! For instance, a zoning district of residential, density of two dwelling units per acre is not the same as a future land use classification of residential, low-density. The zoning classification is what governs your building requirements.

Working from a point of knowledge is far-better than trying to stumble-along and making expensive mistakes because you bought the wrong grade of rock or didn't install a required method of retaining the parking surface material, such-as curbing, landscape timbers, edging, or whatever is required. It's worth a trip to the Building Dept. to get an OK on your proposed materials and method of installation. Be forewarned, many jurisdictions require appointments to speak with the plans reviewers or other professional staff.

I suggest you bring a copy of your survey which you have photocopied multiple copies of, and show on it where you want to place the material, drawn as-much as possible to-scale. This will also help you to estimate how-much material you need when contacting a local hauler of materials. Get multiple bids on what you choose to use, as you may find a great distance between jobbers. They may have a minimum size load for-which you have to pay, even if you only need a fraction of the carrying capacity of the delivery vehicle. Also, they may not be able to deliver exactly where you want it, especially if you ask them to place it off a paved road. Haulers are occasionally seen on the 'net having sunk to their axles in a drainfield, or a septic tank, or straddling a wellhead, gushing water from the broken pipe onto the property, and the truck sunk in the soft earth. And don't we all laugh whan that same truck topples sideways or slides down a change in elevation, and inverts? We all laugh until it's on our property!

I've seen all these things and more, and I have had to do tactical rescue when they happen. Plan before you act. It's less-costly, safer, and will reduce the stress you have already encountered dealing with this. You can PM me if you have a question.:ummm:

JPL found the creative vent the neighbor now has facing his property. And supposedly the jurisdiction said nothing can be done about it.
