haha. touche. i figured these threads would be brought together
all web forums eventially turn into this, it will only get worse. everyone thinks their sarcastic trolling is hilarious.
and this is what is wrong with america. if you dont like something call the city or cops on your neighbors? hello how about talking to them first before bringing the fuzz in on it. jesus what happend to being friendly and a good neighbor?
I don't think it's trolling. It's just people's way of humorously telling the OP that he needs to get over it. His neighbors wanted to put in an above-ground pool to give the kids something to do on hot summer afternoons. I can understand if there were small kids in the house and the concern was for their safety. But to be worried about it being an eyesore is being petty.
Have you considered anonymously sending the neighbors wife a string bikini? (just askin') :smile:
Sorry, just don't understand the mentality behind people thinking they should be able to tell their neighbors what to do with their property simply because they personally don't like the way something in their neighbor's yard looks. I don't believe it is the homeowner's responsibility to make their property aesthetically pleasing to match whatever their neighbors' tastes are.
I prefer live and let live, could never imagine trying to see if I can get my neighbor to build a fence simply because I don't find something in his yard pleasing to my own eye.
I'm on the other side, I live in an area where there are specific rules and I like them. No, I didn't like paying $100 for a basic black mailbox but when I drive down other neighborhoods and see what some idiots do with their homes it makes me happy I live in an area that has rules. I also like it that you can't put up a $10 chain link fence in front of a $400K house. If you want the freedom to make your house look like **** than move out in the country where you have no neighbors.

We have a hot tub on our back deck. No way will I build a fence just because I have it. It has a cover that can be locked.
Big difference. I'd say 99% of the people are fine with their neighbors having a hot tub. I'd say the privacy issue would be more on your side.
Was it made of gold? How long of a fence was it that you hit 4k?
I agree in principal, but if there is a law, was it passed after he put in the pool? If not, well, that's his fault.
I'm sure the neighbor husbands like the fact that I have no fence. My wife is a tall blonde with lots of Norwegian blood running through her. :yes:
please show me where in my original post where i told them what to do on their own property? or even where i stated that i would call the city on them?
