[QUOTE="Star*, post: 416350, member: 4964"] When we bought this house a very reclusive elderly lady lived in a mobile home across the street from us - way, way back off and there was the remnants of a brick house never finished or blown away by a tornado in front of us. IT.WAS. HEAVEN. Peaceful, quiet - never heard a word, a sound.....country living. Ahhhhhh I could leave my windows open all day and hardly hear a noise, a peep, a mouse toot. Three years ago, the lady passed away. Her daughter inherited the land and ever since? It's been construction central. She's from NJ and while she's a nice enough woman she told us she couldn't WAIT to get to the country for the PEACE AND QUIET. ????? I have my doubts. She had her house constructed OVER THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS. Her workers drove in and out of the lot across the street all day and night, all hours of the day. On Christmas Day - DF finally went and told them - NO - GO HOME - this is nuts - no more noise. They left. It was nuts. WHO runs a concrete crusher all day from 6:00 AM on Christmas until 1:00 PM and a chain saw, and all of this on Christmas? Okay - fine - Thanksgiving too, ,Christmas Eve - we were considerate. When they pulled her house in - a gigantic double wide? She had them put it 20 feet from the road! and DIRECTLY across from our front door. WTH? She has 5 secluded acres. Why? I don't get it. Last month she cut down EVERY tree on her side of the road that has been shading our yard for 12 years. The radio is blaring music all day long - okay whatever - I keep my windows shut. She has company in an out of her driveway all dang day and night. Her company has made 'loud' comments about our dogs barking - I'm thinking - they've lived here 12 years - they are barking because they see intruders - you should be so lucky. We've been having breakins all over the place out here. Dummy. OMG. Then there was a comment made about me having that car in my yard - she never saw it moved? I've had a camper in the back yard for 12 years - and the point is? The brush pile is about 40' high - and and eyesore. I know I can see it now because - Today she has men over there tearing down ALL the trees in her yard and the little brick house that has blocked the view for 12 years of that property....and now her front door and mine are directly across from each other and she has patio furniture and sits there - and says "HI NEIGHBOR -are your dogs always going to be in the front yard? They sure do bark a lot?" I smiled and said "HI NEIGHBOR - They live here - and as long as they see strangers they're going to bark - kinda good I think with everyone getting broken into around here hope it makes you feel safer !"
