Neighbors

I live in a bit over an acre of land, and next to my property I have a neighbor who is a great neighbor. However, him and his wife like to have get together, and he ropes off the property line, so people won't drive into our property and run the chance of damaging pipes or sprinkler heads. Well, his guests are either stupid, ignorant or just flat out inconsiderate. Last night he had a get together, he roped off the area, so they wouldn't drive through the yard since it had been raining for two solid days. Well, the stupid, ignorant and inconsiderate guests, opted by driving around the roped off area and through my front yard. :mad: I didn't notice this until this morning.

I sent him a text telling him I was not happy with the behavior of his guests, and that they had driven through my front yard. Risking damaging the water main, sprinkler pipes and sprinkler heads. I'm waiting on his reply.

I'm trying to figure out what to do. One solution I'm thinking of is to put some shrubs on the property line to keep the idiots off my yard. What are you gents thoughts?

When I lived in South Florida, there used to be a show called Help me Howard. You would write to him with your legal issues, and he would post the question on TV, with the legal advice on what to do. LOL!

Thanks for listening, I needed to vent.
I just spent a good chunk of the week picking rocks at our Minnesota hunting property. Too bad you're not closer i woukd have been happy to bring you a couple loads. So handy owning a Bobcat T650;) On second thought that thing will pick up most cars and carry them off...
 
My father-in-law got tired of a route truck cutting through his pasture drive and after politely asking and getting no results he took his post hole digger and buried a telephone pole 5 ft deep in the ground in the middle of the path and then cut it off 16 inches above the ground. Then he wired a tumbleweed to it to camouflage it. That truck hit it at 25 mph and it took out everything below the bumper. Oil pan, radiator and transmission case. He watched the driver walking out of the field and called the drivers boss to come pick him up. ( this was before cell phones). 40 years later that pole is still there. Google earth shows that path as a road. I pity the next one that tries it.

It sounds like your neighbor is honorable but he has ignorant friends. You may have legal rights, but I'd suggest you take the neighborly approach to work with him about the problem.

If you have a claim and win in court, you'll regret the escalating tensions that ensue with your neighbor. Perhaps tell him they are too stupid for his courtesy ropes and maybe he can put in shrubs or other structures to keep them from ruining your lawn?

99% of neighbors are a-holes that wouldn't even put up ropes. This guy seems to be honorable, work with him to solve the problem.
 
Had a mate I’ve who was a surf life safer. Lifeguard in your neck of the woods I used to go down and hangout with him. Have a good look at the bikini fish on the beach. This one day Tomo was pick up dog shit and making this god awful paste out of it with to scrapers. I’m like what the hell are you up to with that.
He’s says’s just watch this. These two guys come strolling up the beach go and unlock there car and both reach for the door handles as they yack across the roof top. Driver get his first lifts his hand just as the passenger gets his second. Yep Tomo has smashed this up under the door handles on both sides.
I’m what did they do wrong?

Most of my hunts are solo — just me, my rifle, and a good map. Sometimes I tag along with an old buddy for a week in Zimbabwe or South Africa, but more often than not, it’s just me.
Big fan of classic hunting — bolt-action rifles, old-school tracking, and taking the time to really be in the moment.
Just did a podcast, check it out if interested!
