How would you handle this neighbor issue?

Brandishing a weapon on your own land or business?


Basically impossible in Arkansas..... just don't point it at anybody.

Yeah, up here if someone accuses you of anything related to a weapon your basically guilty instantly

The coyote comment is my own issue. If I see them around our deer or chickens or anywhere near the main farm their dispatched. I'm not scared for my own safety, just take out coyotes and woodchucks whenever they present themselves.

And as I said earlier, I seldom carry. Maybe10-15 times a year and the majority of the time its a result of the deer acting suspicious of something.

Don't think much of a state/area where a free man can't go armed on his own land..........

We can go armed, just hope you don't have any altercations with another human while your armed and your fine :-/

When neighbors are friendly, all parties benifit. I would be mad about the grass too but try to forget it. It seems that these people want you to give them a reason not to like you, so dont give them any. The idea of you being there is still new to them, so I would give them some time to adjust and then try to talk with them again. I dont believe in the "good fences make good neighbors" motto. Fences are for livestock not neighbors.

Avoid these troublemakers and get a proper survey, if they want to see Willowfest better, tell em to buy a ticket! As far as helping their view I'd hit the area with 5-10-5 to thicken it before I'd cut it to improve their view.

I don't know if this would work, or even if I would try this, but here is an idea.

Many years ago I had a girl friend that spent a couple of years in Japan teaching English. She had a party one night in her place and the lady next door was pounding on the wall to get them to quiet down. Which they did not.

The next morning there was a knock on the door. It was the lady next door whom the girl friend's party had disturbed. The lady had a big basket of fresh fruit. Fresh fruit is very expensive in Japan. The lady gave the basket of fruit to my girl friend and the LADY apologized for banging on the wall disturbing my girl friends party. :laughing:

The lady SHAMED my girl friend with the gift. :thumbsup:

The girl friend never threw a loud party again. :laughing:

I have never been in a position to try The Gift Of Shame but someday it might be useful.

Later,

We, in my old country, call it "Terror of kindness." It works with most people but not all.

I have been dealing with neighbor that pulled a corner pin and hammered it back (could see the marks on the cap) for 10 years. The 100' markers posts have been removed by them etc. Stick with your survery plan and make the posts as permanent as possible.

In New Hampshire it's a crime to remove boundary markers (momuments).

It is here also, but proving it would be difficult. The surveyor that originally marked it came out and replaced the pin cheaper than 1 hour with a lawyer.

Time to lawyer up.

The wife did say she wants me to cut down a small locust grove because it blocks her view of the fireworks display the local winery puts on every year. She has lots of ideas for my ground I believe.

Sounds to me like you need to plant some more trees.

Criminal mischief, third degree misdemeanor in Ohio. Have you surveyor come out and reset it in concrete next time.

I hope things do not escalate to the point lawyers are needed. Its bad enough having rude neighbors, why make it worse paying lawyers.

Not my style, I'm actually removing trees from the open areas but plan to leave the grove currently as it serves a purpose.

They both sound like they are a few cans short of a six pack.

I can't advise anymore, but just wanted to convey my opinion...

I'm at the boundary where the neighbors from this thread are at and I'm on my side with the excavator burning tree limbs. As I'm watching the fire burn down the neighbor pulls up along side of me on their side. Stares at what I'm doing for a minute then backs out and leaves without a word. I just smiled and waved.

Here are a couple pics. One is where I'm burning (smokes blowing away from the neighbors ) and the other is a view of the trees these neighbors want me to cut.

Just do your thing, seems they have a problem, not you. NOT nice neighbor's that's for sure. Hard to believe that someone would blown their lawn mower grass over someone. I agree with you and others, let them be and don't aggravate them without letting them be total jerks to you.

They want you to cut down your trees on your land that far away from the property line!!!!!
