Neighbor disputes
Don’t you just love interesting neighbors?
House A belongs to a professional landscaper. Absolutely gorgeous landscaping. He did so much with his 6,000 square feet. He’s even got a huge above-ground pool in the back yard.
A beautiful stockade fence separates House A from House B. The fence was erected by the owner of House A.
Apparently the fence was erected for the sole benefit of the occupants of House A, to keep the neighbors out. Apparently the residents of House B do not deserve the same consideration.
For example, when that lovely pool was installed, the workmen were encouraged to find the outdoor water faucet at a House B and attach hoses, so that the pool would fill twice as fast.
Some very ugly black piping — probably from the pool filter or heater — was laid on the ground, on House B’s side of the fence.
And more recently, the landscaper has ventured in to House B’s yard to prune and cut trees and shrubs whose leaves were falling into the lovely pool. What was left after he finished the job was unsightly, to say the least. Ugly, barren, ruined, horrifying... We...er, House B’s residents and guests had to look at that mess all summer.
Would it be terribly evil if the residents of House B put up some of their own fencing, included a “No Trespassing” sign, and planted some lovely flowers along the fence to hide the ugly pipes?
I was thinking giant sunflowers. They only grow to about six feet tall.
