    Whatever you do, you'll set up yourself as a target. A perfectly legal sign would be political with nothing libelous, something like Mayor XXX Sucks or Impeach Mayor XXX. Maybe your neighbor has some strong political opinions, so you could put up signs for the opposite.

    Make sure they are ugly signs. Use rotten wood, put some skunk smell on them, etc.

    As a mean but fun thing to do to her...would be to replace her gas cap on her car with a locking one & make sure you throw away the key. When it comes time for her to get gas....well...she's ed.

    (I know you don't want do do anything illegal. Just thought it's a good one to share)

    It sucks that you are dealing with fools (mayor & neighbor)

    So, he clears his plot. Did you read the part about the area being completely surrounded by unmaintained public land, dry as a tinder box? Clearing his plot would be like attaching a life jacket to the anic, in terms of fire abatement. Did you read the part about his neighbor getting with him and asking him to take care of this before running off to the mayor? Neither did I....

    Game on.
    I read about it being surrounded by public land and the neighbour asking him to do something about it, but missed the reference to the mayor and the "tinder box" dryness. I also assumed there would be some sort of fire break between the lot and the scrub.

    What I do know is that my mother lives next to an overgrown vacant lot that she can do nothing about because the owners live 3000miles away, and the council are too lazy to make a ruling on it, but she could be sued for doing anything. We're coming up to fire season and she is rightfully worried about it. I see some similarities in the situation, and thus can see it from the neighbour's perspective.

    Look you ing moron its not about cleaning up the lot. The problem lies in the fact that I'm scheduled to have it leveled in 45-60 days. Its going to cost me 2,200 to have it done and the Mayor gave me 20 days to clean it up. I politely informed them that the lot is in fact going to be taken care of if they could be so kind as to give a small extension so it wouldn't cost an extra couple of hundred dollars to have someone go out there early and put a pointless trim job on it only to have it bulldozed about a month later. I didn't blow him off and I'm not asking for too much. Its been sitting like that for 2 years and no one ever sent me a notice for .

    Why do you ing people have such a hard time understanding things. Did I complain about actually having the lot cleared.

    ANSWER: NO

    Its the fact that in a town of 3,400 people this ass Mayor can't give me an extra 20 or so days to same me and my family some much needed money. Ruling that town with an iron fist is ing re ed. The only reason he's being an ass about it is because the neighbor keeps calling and ing to him. I haven't touched that lot for over two years and all of a sudden its an issue. Well if he thought dealing with her before was bad.....welcome to the here and now because I'm going to drive her ING CRAZY.

    God damn you people don't understand .


    ....and yes I'm her only neighbor...she's surrounded by 8 foot weeds on all other corners including the lot across the street.

    After going out there with the kids 4 or 5 times in the last 6 months to take measurements I'm thinking she's trying to raise some so I don't move in and wreck her quiet little corner.
    Fair enough, but why not direct your anger at the mayor specifically? A general sign saying " you" is going to make other people think it's directed at them, which helps no-one.

    Also, my comment, if you read it again, was more directed at the general nastiness people were suggesting over what is really a minor issue - I mean, this is how feuds start, right?

    You didn't mention that the lot has been sitting there like that for 2 years without complaint before, or the 8ft weeds surrounding your neighbour, either. In that case, I agree the mayor is being unreasonable.

    Also, some anger management counseling might help...

    The entire mess is getting even more annoying. I thought I'd try and just calm down over the entire thing and bite the bullet and hire someone to do a light trim job until it gets leveled. Sent a guy out to take a look at it and give me an estimate. Well the dude goes out there, doesn't call me, doesn't give me a price and mows out half the lot. Then calls my wife to tell her he's done and wants payment. 350 bucks. I wouldn't have hired him for 350 bucks and I certainly wouldn't have had him do that much work. I would have just gone back to plan A and done it myself. Who the just does work without giving someone a price.....I gave him 125 bucks and told him that I wasn't trying to screw him but I would never have had him do anything over a 100 bucks.

    Never an end to the stupidity of people.

    Sounds like you're boned to me and lack people skills since you got a neighbor, mayor, and a blue collar worker on your ass. You've got two acres of land that you're about to clear - also sounds like you are relatively well off financially. Why not schedule the leveling earlier?

    With a sign like that you're just trying to stir up more so little sympathy is going to be exercised when such continues to fall.

    First and foremost I don't see how you can say I lack people skills when all I requested was a small extension to complete the work. The Mayor was unreasonable at best.

    So a lack of people skills excuses someone from coming on my property to give me a bid only to just knock out the work without my authorization and demand payment.

    If you asked someone to come to your home and give you a bid for carpet installation. Would you lack people skills if they just helped themselves to doing the job without telling you how much and then demanding payment.

    Don't be a ing idiot.

    They just wanted it cleaned up so they can raise your property taxes.

    Yeah I'm curious as to how the appraisal turns out for the construction loan. There's not much for comparison out there. Right now I pay less than 300 bucks a year. It'll be quite a jump.

    Evidence is stacking against you here unless the town has a conspiracy to get you. Calling people ' ing idiots' only reinforces such.

    What evidence. I asked for an extension....didn't get one. Had a guy come out for a bid...he did the job without giving me a price. There is no ing conspiracy asshole its just a ty series of events with ty people who could care less about how their actions affect others.

    Oh wait I see your sig. Let me rephrase this in a way you can understand. This was all gods plan right. I see it now. He has my entire existence all preplanned and layed out for me to unknowingly execute these folly's only to repent and kneel before the Zod at the pearly gates of Neverwas. Take me in your arm baby jesus and show me the way to salvation so I can get away from dealing with all of life's randomly unrandom series of events. What....what is that baby jesus, you want me to kill the neighbor...but but thats murder and I could do time. I see I see sweet carpenter baby I'll do your devils work but only because I know the big man in cloud needs me.


    I hope you let God into your life. He can save you.

    Praise the lord.

    If you do the pea thing make sure you run a hidden camera so when she finally snaps and kills them thinking no one is watching you will have it on tape. You can then throw it on the news give it to peta and she will have a whole bunch of people giving her issues.

    hey...it's not illegal to play music while you work...if they call the cops just turn the music down when the cops get there. You've already ed up your neighbors morning.
    Just make sure that whatever you play has lots of Bass to it so that it'll shake their walls too!! That always ups to the irritation factor.
