RE: Do you worry about neighbours?

no wonder that lady's husband left. sounds like she has a miserable life and is intent on trying to make everyone else's the same. if she has all that time to spend online looking for permits it's obvious she has no other hobbies or activities. it sounds like what she is doing is bordering on harassment. i bet if you look up neighbor from hell there is a picture of her. it sounds like you are not letting her get to you which is good.

The next one can't wait until her 18th birthday so she can move out also. She works for a company in the construction business so she is aware of building permits. She probably does her computer searches at work so she is actually getting paid to harass me. She probably has friends at the city because I had a valid complaint about her and she got it squashed. It's not just us who are in her sights because I know she gives the neighbor behind her a hard time also.

RE: Do you worry about neighbours?

I never did worry until yesterday. My property is pretty much private with hedges, gardens and trees. Ilike to work in my garage naked but when I do I put move my truck in the driveway so as anyone driving or walking the road can't see me. My neighbor next door and I have never had any lengthy conversations in the 9 years we have lived here. An occasional hi at best at the mailboxes. He has always been very nosey in what goes on and always walks the few extra feet up the road from the mailboxes to peer into our yard and garage to see what's going on. He is elderly and age has crippled him up to where I sometimes wonder if he will make it back to his house. Yesterday while working in the garage I had my back to the door while at the workbench. When I turned around to get a tool from my toolbox, there stood my neighbor. Surprising more so to him or me I don't know. He said nothing about me being naked and I slipped on my shorts. He committed to tell me that he had a new water softener in his house. I think his curiosity finally killed him and walked the length and uphill of my driveway to ease his mind. I now wonder whether if he eased his curiosity once and for all. Hate the thought I may now have to shut and lock my doors to prevent another intrusion.

RE: Do you worry about neighbours?

I am currently in an apartment. Just received a notice from management that they received 2 complaints on me. You betcha I have curtailed "pushing" the issue of being nude in my apartment or on the balcony at night. I thought I was being discreet. I guess not enough. :(
That sucks Kouak. At least you are aware that there are people in your building that can't mind their own business. You never would have known if you didn't at least try.
;-)And the problem is that they don't get into trouble for looking into my place. I have to close my curtains so they don't have to. How is that fair?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that would say ... "you have a legitimate beef!" Maybe you should "counter complain" about them peeping into your apartment! ;-)

You have a point bruce. In fact I guess if he continues his gawking or visits again I would have to think he is cool with it. Now that he knows. Have to say it was a nice conversation with the old boy.

I built privacy screens that I put up if I am going to sunbathe out in my back yard. It allows me the freedom to spend an hour or so to soak up the sun 'au natural' without fear of being seen by the neighbors. If I'm not behind the screens, I'm very careful not to be seen by either neighbor. Both have young kids, so I do so mostly out of respect for them.

I let my neighbours do their own worrying.

I made sure and ask the neighbors if they minded a little nudity around the hot tub. but we still can't use the main part of the deck that is visible to one neighbor
