Coastr Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 Lots of the USA is carpeted in neighbourhoods covered by a HOA - home owners association. These dictate everything you can/can't do with your home exterior. Friend of mine had grief for putting up basketball hoop for his kids.bad neighbours are a pain but not worth losing sleep over.

TINGY Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 I had a neighbour who used to constantly have comments about a house we moved to that had some figs out front that were shaped into balls. One christmas we were having a get together and she was badgering me about how i "should be keeping their shape", i just don't give a toss about that sort of thing and i told her "i don't give a flying F!@# about trees getting turned into balls", my wife was horrified but i couldn't help myself, i just had enough, 6months later i pulled them out and planted natives, as she drove down the street i was throwing them in the trailer, i nodded and smiled at her, gold.

Harvs11 Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 Good neighbors aren't just judging your ride these days. Friends living in Germany had the cops called for disturbing the peace. Their kids were kicking a footy in the street on a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 My grumpy retired neighbour had a whinge that my pergola was too high (2.7 max) and too close to his fence (980mm off the fence), as the sun was blocked for an extra 30 minutes in the day. His tree's are much taller! That, and we were jamming some new songs (with acoustic guitars not plugged into an amp), so he opened every window and door in his house, and played Dolly Parton and Elvis at full noise. Joke was on him, as my missus loves Dolly (Why I don't know) and Elvis, and we couldn't hear it that well in the mancave :-) A few months later, a big tree fell on his fence knocking it over, so I was out there with drills and screws fixing it without his knowledge at 7am, so that his dog didn't escape, and that he's an old fella who probably couldn't do it himself, so I thought I'd do my good deed for the day. He thanked me profusely, and I haven't heard a word from him since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thanked me profusely, and I haven't heard a word from him since I have found the hard way early on, that it is much easier to try to go out of your way to be nice to neighbours (even if they are complete douche bags) as it can make little things so much easier. That said some people will never be happy, no matter what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 @MFX Thats partly why I helped out. Gotta live next door, so I made the effort @tazzieman I was at Luke's place in the country coupla months ago ( @Shady Speedway ) which just confirmed where I'd want to live if I could. A few acres with a house and a big mancave, with a few dogs and other animals would be my nirvana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstone Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 It has it's own challenges. All are worth it.If anyone is interested in the Tweed area, there is resurgence in interest in rural properties here. Which means capital growth along with life between the rainforest and world class surf breaks.Sophistication is not away either, relatively speaking. ?

TINGY Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 I have recently been looking at property again, now i never look unless i am getting itchy feet, i found 2.5 acres just north of Newcastle for an unbelievable price with lots of garaging and extensive landscaped grounds, do you think i can get my wife interested, no, that would be my nirvana.

It's Germany...zey probably have ze rulez against it!A mate who lives in Switzerland (the German speaking part of course), says there are special Sunday laws, for example one against putting your recycling out because the bottles make too much noise http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/restaurants-bars/pub-hits-back-at-neighbours-who-complain-about-noisy-patrons-with-hilarious-sign/news-story/bc83bff6da28c50ba76e7abc22103e31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
