Irritating Neighbour's Water Feature
Hi
I have a notion that a newsgroup for neighbour issues would be rather useful as I see so many coming up here :) My neighbour issue is extremely minor indeed really but I'm wondering what the situation is in law or whatever. My neighbour has a little waterfall in their pond. I think it's great that they have a pond, but the problem is the little waterfall which makes a most irritating noise 24 hours a day. It sounds a bit like gutter which is overflowing or something, it really doesn't sound like a waterfall at all. Oddly enough the problem is greatest at night because it is so quiet at night that the sound of the "waterfall" is really loud. I actually rather enjoy toodling around in my garage at night and it's a nuisance having this sound at night. What I have considered is suggesting to them that they turn it off at night. I don't mind it so much during the day because my area is not particularly quiet so it sort of blends in with the general background noise more. The problem is that I anticipate they will tell me "where to go" if I request this as that does tend to be their style rather... So if they refuse to turn if off at night is there anything that can be done about it? -- Patrick |

Thoroughly agree that a newsgroup for Neighbour Issues would be useful
Problem is theres considerate neighbours who would not dream of upsetting anyone and certainly would not create noise or grow Leylandi etc and then theres the new breed of folk who consider its their God given right to do what the hell they please without any consideration for anyone else and basically theres almost nothing in law you can do about it "PJ" wrote in message . com...

So if they refuse to turn if off at night is there anything that can be done about it? When I lived in Leicester, I had a church right next door. The back door to the church room was alongside our house. They had lots of activities at the church room, every night of the week something was on, Boys Brigade, Woman's Institute, Guides, Brownies, Cubs, Scouts and on this back door they had a self closing length of rubber. Open the door, nip in, door closes itself BANG, someone else goes through BANG, the next person BANG. A quick visit and a quiet word to the organiser, church official, Scout Master, Brownie Leader as their people were going through the door and letting it go BANG, BANG, BANG soon had the rubber taken off and instructions to all to close the door quietly.

Turning it off on a hot sultry night with thunder storms, if they have lots of plants in their pond, could see all their fish dead by morning. Try just asking nicely, they may make a change to the outfall that will make all the difference. At least it might sound nice. :-) -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |

You might well be right perhaps I should put it out of my head :) In my defence the toodling around in the garage is very quiet. Perhaps it is just that the waterfall was not there at one time and so the night was very quiet out the back, and now it is there. If it continues to irritate I think my most likely move is to offer to pay for a time-switch as suggested elsewhere. It might well be that I'll just stop noticing it after a while. -- Patrick |

Of course if the neighbour wasn't irritating then I expect the matter could be discussed, and likely resolved, next time they're all down the pub together. It's true that the neighbour is irritating and there have been previous issues. Fortunately these have been resolved but they were much more significant than the waterfall. In one case they wanted to put the flu for their central heating out of the side of their garage straight into my garden, about 5 feet above the ground. I only knew about it when they asked for access to do it the day before. The wall of the garage is a party wall with my garden. Amusingly when I suggested that they could put the flu out the other side of the garage, into their garden, they replied, without a hint of irony, that they didn't want a flu sticking into their garden. There have been two other issues but it would be too long to write about them :) However time has passed since then and in fact one of the two smiled at me yesterday so I am beginning to feel that if I do find myself irritated by the waterfall I might be able to offer to buy them a time-switch for it. -- Patrick |

Bloody cheek! Don't you realise it's you duty to have their flue in your garden :~) So what was the outcome of that one? I just said no and that was that. They put the flue (which I have been spelling as "flu" as in influenza in my earlier posting) through the roof of the garage. I got quite good advice from a friend who is in the legal/property business and he said they had no right to have to flue sticking through the party wall. Their reasoning actually for my having their flue sticking into my garden was that I "didn't tend to sit in my garden", which is true as I'm not into sun-bathing like they are. I do however like to walk around my garden etc. but for them that doesn't count :) Another issue with them was that where the party wall reaches the street for some time, indeed all the time I've owned this house, there has been no pillar. At the front of their house they have mock Edwardian pillars for the ends of the wall which runs along the front, which are not my taste, whereas in front of my house I have 1950's pillars for my 1950's house. One day I came home from work to find him building another mock Edwardian pillar at the end of the party wall, in other wards on the corner of my property. This was absurdly out of keeping and with my 1950's pillars and house, but was in keeping with their line of Edwardian house. My house sort of celebrates the 50's a bit with a general feel of the 50's which I rather like, so a mock Edwardian pillar at one corner is absurd. As I am growing a hedge along the front, there isn't really a need for this pillar in fact as the hedge will cover the end of the party wall. They went completely nuts when I complained, on seeing him halfway through constructing the pillar. After a "full and frank discussion" we agreed that they could build the pillar on their side of the party wall so that the end of the pillar stops half way along the wall. This looks fine because it is offset to their side and obviously looks part of their house. When my hedge has grown up it will conceal the end of the wall on my side which shows a bit and look quite good I think. While I'm at it... Another issue which arose with them was that they would park their car right across my driveway, 100% blocking it. They have three vehicles in total, a van for his business and two sports cars one for each of them. Their reasoning for why they could 100% block my driveway was that I don't own a car and so I don't need my driveway. I pointed out that I do, however, have a bicycle and I need to get in and out of my house with the bicycle and this involves riding out of the driveway, with their car in the way I have to get off the bicycle and walk up the pavement with it until I find a space, like someone else's driveway and use that. They have now stopped blocking my driveway but there was much in the way of argument over it. They sort of "conceded" that I should be allowed enough space to get a bicycle out of my driveway which they perceived as being 1 foot wide and so they would "kindly" allocate this space. When I explained that actually I want my whole driveway clear they considered this to be unreasonable as, after all, where were they going to park their sports cars and van? So now they do leave the whole driveway clear but treat me as if they are doing me a huge favour in allowing me access to and from my own house :) The female half of the couple has explained to me that if I grew up and got a car then problems like this wouldn't arise... -- Patrick |
Irritating Neighbour's Water Feature
What I have considered is suggesting to them that they turn it off at
night. I don't mind it so much during the day because my area is not particularly quiet so it sort of blends in with the general background noise more. The problem is that I anticipate they will tell me "where to go" if I request this as that does tend to be their style rather... So if they refuse to turn if off at night is there anything that can be done about it? It may actually not be possible to turn it off for very good reason. Depending on how their pond is built & plumbed it may well be that the waterfall is actually the outflow from the pond's filter - this is quite a common thing to do. If this is the case then the pump has to remain on 24 hours a day or the filter will die & turn nasty. Another option would be to re-plumb the filter to return quietly directly into the pond at night but this would require excavation, pipework & general expense - you'd also be reliant on someone remembering to actually switch the thing over every night. If this is not the case & it is just a decorative waterfall then perhaps a polite chat & an offer to pay for a timer plug might solve the problem! Worst case, look on the bright side - at least its not Wind Chimes! rgds I For those non aquarists (& anyone else who is interested!) pond (and fish tank) filters work something like this.... Although there is some Mechanical filtration taking place in the filter this is not actually what's important - what's important is the biological filtration. Waste products in the pond give off Ammonia - this is toxic to fish. By pumping the water through the filter a set of Bacteria build up in the filter that eat the ammonia & turn it into Nitrite (also toxic to fish!). A second set of bacteria also grow in the filter that eat the Nitrite & turn it into Nitrate which is not toxic to fish (except in huge quantities). Plants in the pond absorb the Nitrate as a fertilizer. The bacteria that do all the good work need a constant supply of oxygen rich water, therefore if you turn the filter off they die back - this can happen in a matter of hours. Worse still is that if the filter is left off for a prolonged period of time it will go bad ("Anaerobic"). When this happens it starts producing Sulphur Dioxide (rotten egg smell) in some quantity - this is highly toxic and will kill anything living in the pond if it gets in there..... I. |

Made a nice accompaniment to my gardening efforts! At the same time, a house is being built in the field next to my bedroom by another neighbour, who keeps his council-owned JCB on the site, and starts it up every morning - this morning at 6.45 - to drive it off to work, then comes back around 6 pm to work on his own house - sometimes until 11.45 at night! Complain? Not blinkin' likely - the same neighbour didn't say a word during the time we had 4 cockerels last year, and has never once complained about our 4 dogs and their occasional barking fits. (I can understand why they haven't complained about poo from our 3 cats, too - cos their 'garden' is full of cows, and any contribution the kitties make is somewhat overwhelmed!) I hope this state of harmony continues when I install a water feature sometime next year!
