Default Property Line Looks Like A Jungle (Nad)


The thing is Nad, we like our house and I shouldn't have to move just
because of one disrespectful neighbor. Our property line is very clear
as it was surveyed and the survey stakes are at each corner. Stretch a
line from stake to stake and both myself and the neighbor know where the
line is. Yes, I could cut all the bushes that hang over on my side but
then it would be up to me to get rid of all the brush which isn't easy
living in town and driving a sub compact car. This neighbor has a
pickup truck! The point is, I wouldn't do this to him or any other of
my neighbors and I don't like it being done to me. I don't care at all
what he has planted so long as it remains on his side. I shouldn't have
to waste my time or money in any way to solve this problem. And YES, I
have plenty of room to plant the cherry trees and I'm sure the birds
will have good enough aim to hit the wash on his clothes line! He don't
like to use the clothes dryer because he told me it's too expensive to
run. The guy saves anything he can get for free. Old busted up plastic
flower containers, broken bricks, you name it and he saves it. He is
20 years older than me and I'm 62 so maybe it won't go on too much
longer. We lived in our home for 15 years now and he lived in his for
50 years. Perhaps that is why he thinks he owns the neighborhood!
