    Wow, that is really awful. That must be just horrible. I'm thankful that my neighbors on both sides aren't complaining about anything, even though the pool construction seems to be going on endlessly.

    My sympathy goes out to you, I hope that no further problems arise with them.

    Not that it is an option for everyone, but I sure am glad I live out in the country even though I have to drive 11 miles to town. There are no neighbors to complain about anything we do.
    Good luck with settling everything.

    I had to re-run an electrical line that went to a transformer on my neighbors side of the fence in his easement. We also had to dig up some bushes next to the transformer. I didn't legally need to compensate him for any of this, but I went out and bout some new bushes and re-planted for him. It seemed like the neighborly thing to do.

    I'm not sure how young these "kids" are (30?) but I would be embarassed as a man to conduct myself like this or to allow my wife to act this way. If I have a problem or concern, I would have taken it to your husband and tried to work it out.

    I would take the two pineapples and throw it through their windows.

    When I worked Construction, I had a lady ask us what we were doing with our dirt, she told us she would like two semi loads and gave us an address and told us to just dump it in the front yard. We thought: cool, we can save the company a few hundred bucks, so we walked down there and looked at it. No one was home, and I doubt you could have fit a wheel barrow between the garage and house, there was also a gate there. We did peek in the back yard and could see no reason for wanting this dirt, and we figured that it was a neighborhood fight or something.

    Gotta watch them neighbors, they can get creative. lol

    sevver - that is funny! It is very hard sometimes - but since we have sent them the letter and the $20 they don't even look at us. Good riddens!

    I have a landscape designer coming this afternoon for estimate on a PVC fence and some thorny bushes for that side of the yard.

    Keep in mind that ..."what goes around ...comes around" Enjoy your pool and the fast growing shrubbery planted between your home and theirs.
