Mark777,

Good thing he is not my neighbor. Call the health department and tell them that you have seen rats at dusk coming from his property.
Setup a range in your back yard and buy a semi auto .223 if you don't own one. I'm sure this will stir up his horses real well. Make sure you go over and tell him to put his ear plugs in first. Don't ever tell him that you know he is the as-hole calling the inspector on you. The release wild animals in his yard is a great idea. Skunks would be really nice to let loose on him. Drop off a paper bag full of **** on his doorstep at night. Light it on fire, ring the doorbell and run like ****. Brake fluid poured over his car will work wonders on his personality, not to mention what it will do to his paint job. You have had so many good ideas from the guys here it funny. I think the bikers parties would scare the **** out of this guy. Maybe you could send a few over to his door to invite him over for a few beers. Make sure they are grubby looking bikers with long hair and beards.

Can I help? I've got long hair and a beard, but don't ride anymore. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I could bring some guys I know that still do though. And I suppose I could go a few days without a shower if the price was right. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Don't forget you guys, I am a retired Harley painter.....so I know many who would join in on a phone call. But this problem needs a little something different, more one on one.
Thanks for your input as I am considering all angles.

Go to a biker bar and say that you will buy all the beer theycandrik in one night and invite them out to your place only on the condidtion that they get drunked up and pay him a visit. Drunk bikers can get pretty rowdy.
If he has horses complain about the stinch coming from them and such. They may not actually stink but whoever you call doesn't kow that.

I have the same problem with a piece of property I own in Channelview. I had the local snitch call the state to make sure there was a permit pulled to move a mobile home that was a total wreck. I thought the cops were going to make them put the thing back. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif The one that really set me off was when the inspector ran off a crew I had filling a 40 yard dumpster because I didn't have a permit. I checked around to see if I needed one and found out I didn't, then I got him out there again and explained the situation to him in terms I'm sure he understood. He just stood there crying about getting a "complaint". If there is no permit required it would seem to indicate to a person of even modest intelligence that the complaint is unfounded, NO ACTION NECESSARY!!! Some folks can't handle empowerment. Counties in Texas didn't have any code enforcement authority until they dreamt up this phony "Flood Control" BS and now they are milking it for all it's worth. You also might see if you can find out the relationship between the complaintant and the inspector. Sometimes things aren't what they seem, you might be getting screwed on that end. City of Houston inspectors are notorious for being corrupt, if you were in the city you could probably come to an agreement. Strike that, you would probably try the only honest inspector in the county. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Besides, since the city put satellite navigation trackers in their cars to make sure they actually visit the jobsites you can't just go to the local bar and give them a Benji to sign off on the inspection. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Another course of action would be to line up everything you need to do the job to show up on a Saturday and just do it. Once it's done it's a little hard for them to make you undo it. That was the way they did it when I lived in Florida. The code called for a 24 inch slab for a machine shop we were building. We poured it 18 inches and the inspectors showed up 3 days later and drilled holes to measure it. Later I was told that the fine was about $10,000 less than it would have cost to do it to code. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Another thing to do, run your neighbor's name through the Texas Sex Offender Registry. You might get lucky and get a hit, think of the fun you could have with that! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

From someone who has had neighbor problems, If talking does not help, consider finding someplace else to live.

I grew up this way also. My dad had a long running feud with the neighbor next door. They called the law on each other all the time. Actually they yanked my dad out of bed at 1am on a citation for harrasment with the neighbor.

We couldn't go outside in the front yard when they were out ect.....I think you get the idea. If you can't get along enough to be cordial and you don't want to try then my suggestion is move. The time, effort, aggrivation just isn't a way to live. The earth is big enough to find some more of it.

Because of the way we were brought up I make painful efforts to be nice to all my neighbors to keep the peace. Dogs running in the yard, noise to a limit are all things that could get me upset but I remember the other side of the fence.

Not hard at all - just get out the concrete jackhammers. Around here, you would have to add-in the $$$cost$$$ of ripping out all the 18" concrete and replacing it with 24", in addition to the fine. Non-code production is not allowed to remain, despite a fine being paid.

I respectfully disagree.

My intentions are to move my aging parents who live just a few miles away, to this beautiful little piece of land. I have helped remodel their house and they can list the property for sale anytime they want...and they like the idea of moving to this property (and I can keep an eye of them due to health issues).

My house (in another town) is almost ready to list.
Parents house is ready to list....if they exercise that option.

I have spent countless hours in planing, labor, materials and money. I am sure I could list the property and break even or perhaps make a little, but I cannot re-coop the last 2 years of my life trying to do the decent things for my family. And all because of one insignificant little weasel stirring the proverbial pot and who's "high" in life is creating grief.

BTW I have never said one unkind word, raised my voice, or done anything to indicate I am anything less than a good neighbor. Lately (last few months), I HAVE tried to catch him and confront him, but by his actions and deliberate retreats, he acts very guilty or paranoid by my presence.

Thanks as I do respect your opinions and hope you understand mine.

Mark
