Dispute Between Neighbors! Must read & See Pics!
Dispute Between Neighbours -
A town councillor in Wales, Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the mountains, until a new neighbour purchased the land below his house and built a new home.
The new home was 18 inches higher than the planning dept had approved, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the local authority to make sure they enforced the roof line height.
The new neighbour had to drop the roof height, at great expense.
Recently, Mark Easton called the planning dept, and informed them that his new neighbour had installed some vents on the side of his new property.
Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the planning dept to investigate.
When they went to Mark's home to see what the vents looked like, this is what they found...
The Local Authority said the vents can stay since there is no planning law referring to shutter design.

Funny stuff.
used to date a girl who's dad purchased this wierd piece of land down the hill from a high priced development, he was a builder so he made the odd lot work for a huge house.
The guy behind her hated that he had to look at her roof so he put junk in the trees on his property so we would have to look at it all the time.
One day i was working from home and i saw his two kids shooting a bb gun at birds and then aiming at the house, grabbed a video camera and started to tape them.
Once they were done i called the police told them what happened and they wanted me to file a report so iwent to the people with he junk in the trees and told the guys wife the junk comes out of the trees now or i'm going to the cops with the tape. It was all very priceless.

While the story is true, the location is Utah, not Wales.

I have friends whose neighbors were always sitting around staring at them whenever they went out on their deck. They bought a few tall trees and hired a crane. They sat outside while the crane operator moved the trees around and had them planted in the perfect spots to ruin the neighbors' view. They said it cost them around $40k, and it was worth every penny.
