Do you get along with your next door neighbour

[jaft]

Since i bought the property a yr and half ago all ive had is my next door neighbour whinge about every think you could think about..

Me cutting down tree and plants next to the fence.
truck parking in my drive way causing the fence now to fall over.
noise
My new shed carport
putting my bins out
my car idling in the drive way
my new carport lights are shining in his back yard
The old rain water tank is undermining the fence
and the new one is the concrete drive way out the front, when it rains the run off from the drive way will flood into his property..

Been complaining to the council about the shed carport... if it all approved..

Do you have this much trouble with your neighbour.

sounds as though they don't have much else going on. I reckon it'd be pretty draining.

Im just about to tell my new neighbours that they have both of their cars parked in the driveway (common) and in my reversing bay (their land, my easement benefit). Effectively they will lose their front yard having to relocate cars and fence or have to park their cars on the street... not a good way to start the neighbourly relations!!!

there will be no easy way to tell them. im freaking because they seem like really nice people

I love my neighbours, I never see them, they are very nice , and yesterday I put my van at the back yard " very tight squeeze so it takes a while" and I went to apologize about the noise and fumes but they didn't care, they were glad I was working with my cars

Rental to our left - nice people we talk regularly have BBQ's together etc. Previous tenants were there for less than 24 hours, 3 girls straight out of home... a crazy woman turned up on their door step the first night screaming and carrying on. Busted in the home grabbed a knife and was threatening them etc. Cops were taking too long to turn up so our Samoan neighbour across the road and I got her out of the house and calmed the girls down until the police arrived! Needless to say the girls went back to live with their parents (not a good start to moving out of home).

Other neighbour to our right is Ms Mangel... she knows everything that's going on and has an opinion about everything too.

Have excellent neighbours on one side who loves restoring Holdens and currently restoring two XU1's , he is always available to help or give good advice and just installed ahoist in his huge shed which might come in handy lol. New neighbour on other side which has just turned into a rental after the owners moved out after starting WWIII with their other neighbours over the fence line boundary which went to court etc, the two properties have a common driveway and had previously been owned by the one family prior to both of them moving in. You should never take good neighbours for granted they are like gold, bad ones can make your live hell.

Have had a generally great relationship with them. Farming brings on some different scenarios but at least they are far enough away I suppose. Living in Orange as well when I am at work too now though. Was renting a room from my nephew for a while. His neighbour used to keep me awake when I did nightshift on weekends. Not his fault I suppose but I did enjoy listening to him having a temper tantrum when his mower wouldn't start one morning.
My father in law had some bad tenants once who left all their rubbish in his yard when they finally got evicted. Stupidly for them they forgot he would soon work where they had moved to as it was a small town. He loaded all their rubbish onto his truck and went and dumped it in the front yard of their new house

I love living in the bush. Nearest neighbor is 500 yards away and when I do see him all he says is I'll get the whiskey. Hes about 80 and i was cutting wood one day and took him a trailer load and he brought out the whiskey and we proceeded to drink nearly 3 bottles (between 4) none of us could walk, dearest wood he'd ever bought I reckon. Have had my fair share of bad neighbors when I lived in town. Council get to know the serial whingers and don't take any notice after a while. Best way to handle these people is just say hello and when they whine say I'll get onto that, and do nothing.

Strewth Blocker, that's a bit full-on! The worst we have next door here is a single mum (through no fault of her own, she's doing the best she can) who has a small tribe (5) boys all between 8 and 21. The older boys are great, well mannered young men with good jobs etc.... the same cannot be said for the feral younger two. They give their poor mother hell yelling and screaming at her, belting crap out of our colourbond fence etc...

Of the other neighbours (we live second house in out of eight in a small cul-de-sac) we've scored pretty well: a panel beater helping me with the ute (read: doing most of it.. he is in return getting an injected 308/T400 put together for him for his HK and I'll also freshen-up the 186 out of that for his EJ when we get to that after we get to his HK Prem), a sparky, a chippy, a correctional centre officer (funnily enough we are all into old Holdens) and a the remainder are either retired or semi-retired. Oh, and Blocker.... we've got your "Mrs Mangles" neighbour's sister/cousin/whatever living on our street. If we need to tell all the neighbours anything, Jen just invites her over for morning tea....

Agree that good neighbours are hard to beat. There's a fella in the side street to my place that is into Holdens in a really big way, had an invited squiz in his shed the other day - EH van, HZ van, HQ LE coupe, HQ ute.... I need a bigger shed!

Good fences mean good neighbours, when on a farm...we strongly suggested when our son bought his new home recently not to get one with a common driveway, usually ends up in tears.

We own all our neighbours, (the bank does) and the land we don't own is crown land....three townhouses across the road, we can control who lives there and if they cause us grief we evict them....the house next door is a dozer job one day, inside is better than it appears from the outside, and we just let people we like rent if from us, and the stipulation is if we hear them they too are gone.
I do consider our neighbours and dont leave the v8's running in the driveway, or take them to the gym early in the morning if there is a choice.

living on a farm is the best, drive where and when i want, ride where i want, shoot where i want, my wb is straight out the extractors, the vt paddock basher might as well be lol, have the radio pumping, grinder going, do dounts and drift everywhere, hardly see the neightbours, closest would be a few k's, sometimes during the holidays one set of neighbours go shooting a fair bit, not a bit deal tho, worse thing is the roos get really flighty and its hard to get close enough to them when i feel like getting the dogs some meat, moving into town maybe this weekend or next, should be allright tho, preschool is next door i work 7-5 so ill be lucky to see anyone there and some old bloke next door, got a sals diff down the back of his yard so i guess ill meet him when i go to buy it :P behind is nearly a big empty block, i think its the pubs parking area and back of the beer garden, across the road no idea
