Revenge On
Neighbors With A Bad Plan

Dear RG,
I would like some help with creating some "instant karma" for my
inconsiderate neighbors.
We live on a lake and have been in our home for over a decade. Our neighbors
have always been civil and we have had an okay relationship with them.
About 18 months ago, they came to us with an idea about putting a garage on
the lot line, towards the lake, we said that we did not like that idea for
many reasons including: losing morning sun, drainage issues, snow buildup
issues, an echo at our house (as our patio where we entertain is right
there) and on and on... Essentially, we would have a big wall where a big
open area used to be.
At that time they said they would "take it into consideration". They have
decided to go ahead with the project now and have never talked to us about
it again. (actually they have pretty much ignored us). They only come out on
weekends, and are turning a nice, lake setting into a lot with 10 pounds of
sh-t packed onto a 5 pound lot, they're just weekend warriors. I would like
to know what your thoughts are on showing them my dissatisfaction for years
to come.
any ideas?
Hi,
There are always building codes and local bylaws to govern the
construction of any permanent building that has walls and a roof. Do some
research into this, you may have a legal answer to your revenge request. Get
them harassed by the building inspectors, get a new survey done of your land
so you know exactly where the boundary is and make sure they don't build too
close to the property line (there are usually bylaws against building within
10 feet of the property line, or some distance close to ten feet). That
would be first.
Second would be talking to a lawyer about the "loss of enjoyment" you are
suffering, there may be a legal civil suit there somewhere.
Thirdly I'd plant a whole lot of fruit trees along your mutual border.
They take away your view, you harass them year after year with leaves and
over-ripe fruit falling on their side.
