I need help with a trespassing neighbor
Comments (62)I am sorry about your neighbor. You are not alone. These people wrote their comments and me are in the same boat, which we all have problems with our neighbors. My neighbor Todd and I had peace and no problem for 16 years until his girlfriend warned me that Todd started to angry and mad about everything. I don't know what point at this problem. He started welding sandblast business outside on his driveway. The sandblast spread out anywhere, went in the air, went over the fence to land my property where egetable garden is. It killed them. Also, I washed sandblast off my tomato...my mouth tasted and burned. I tried to talk to him about situation with welding sandblast but he was very aggressive (mean, angry and yell). I was so scared and walked away. i called the police and code enforcement. Two officers showed up and saw his active of welding sandblast. They allowed him to use. No violation ticket. He continued to do welding sandblast. He ignored state codes and has no business permit. He threw the grapes at my driveway and property. I called the police. They do nothing. No violation tickets for littering. He posted five notes on my door and my car. He banged my door and stayed for 15 minutes. I called 911. Police showed up and cancelled 911. I proof his five notes. No violation tickets for criminal trespass. I bought new wood fence to stand next to the chain fence to block his view. But still problem is he walked out on sidewalk in front of my house and yelled or sweared at me several times. He put his solar lamps on my property without permission. I took them and threw them away., He was angry and called the police. I got violation ticket for theft and trespass. Police don't care. Sad. He bought solar lamps and put them on my property. They still are there. I cannot take them. I filed out for restraining order but judge turned it down. Not enough proof. I was stuck. I installed security camera and caught him several times. I called the police. Officer, Lt officer, detective officer and chief showed up at my house. I showed them a few videos. They talked to my neighbor Todd. They told me that Todd had problems about his girlfriend s health, finance and problems from friends, family and his work so he has emotions and carried to blow out or throw on me. It is his own responsibility, not me. That is what I'm not involved. It looks like he has problems and beat up own big bag to blame to other person. That is me, I'm innocent. He knows I cannot hear and I cannot read lip. He doesn't care. No respect. He swears at me from his property and sidewalk. He removed my solar lamps, Halloween stuff and ladder on my property. No violation ticket for trespassing. I wanted to move out but problem with my finance. I cannot afford to pay a new place to live. I don't know where I turn to have someone to help. I cannot afford to hire a civil lawyer. it took two years and still continuing. I am stuck....See Moreterrible pepper disease! need help ASAP
Comments (8)all of my plants are well watered,and I fertilize them every 2 weeks. and it has spread to my tomatoes. In the infected tomatoe plants, the worst leaves are both leathery and curled up, just like the curly top virus symptoms. I'm covering the infected plants with plastic, and see if in a few days they improve (i'll fertilize again, since they were just transplanted). Thanks for all the help everybody!...See MoreQuick! Before my neighbor makes a terrible mistake!!!
Comments (11)EW EW EW EW!!!!!!! Can I say EW one more time? No no no no to canning it - freeze it then cook the very lean meat like a Boeuf Bourgignon. I was gifted 5 lbs of frozen venison last winter, made it like a French Beef Stew and my 68 yo Italian neighbor and his wife (who makes everything from scratch including her own proscuitto) said it was the best they ever tasted! Boeuf Bourgignon 3/4 cup diced salt pork or bacon 3 lbs lean stew beef cut into 1 ½ inch chunks 1/4 cup brandy 1 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 1 ½ cups dry red wine 1 tbsp butter 2 med onions coarsely chopped 1 med carrot chopped into small bits 3 garlic cloves smashed bouquet garni 1 lb mushrooms quartered ½ lb pearl onions peeled In a Dutch oven (or heavy lidded oven safe pot) cook the bacon until crisp. Dust the meat with seasoned flour and brown the meat in batches in the hot fat until each piece is dark brown. Remove all meat and set it aside. Add the onions and carrots to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened, scraping up browned bits of meat. Add all the meat back into the Dutch oven. Pour brandy over the meat and flame. When the flame dies down, add the salt, pepper and red wine, carrot, garlic, bouquet garni and enough water (or stock) to cover. Bake in preheated 350 oven for about 2 hours until meat is very tender and sauce is dark brown. Add the mushrooms and pearl onion and return to the oven for about 45  60 minutes....See MoreHelp!!!

Comments (54)I'm not using a sprinkler. Just a hose with a nozzle attachment (I mostly use "shower"). I don't trust sprinklers after the disaster the first day. I think the damage has been done though...most of what I see coming up is along the front sidewalk, so I think that POS sprinkler that was put out there for a day washed a bunch of the seed down hill to the sidewalk. And to the base of the electric box, which is kind of funny...apparently enough dirt got washed on the base to grow out of the metal electric box. I think since that first fiasco with the sprinkler, plus having to walk through the seed bed to remove the sprinkler, it's not really nice and smooth anymore, so there's a little puddling, but it all manages to soak in and go away within a couple minutes... not like it stands there for hours. Right now I'm just waiting to see what I have for day 14. I guess I could also buy more seed and chuck it out by the handfuls to the areas that look to have washed out and see if anything happens lol I just don't know whether to blame the failed areas on the rough start with sprinklers, the time it took to feel like I had a good balance of how much water to give it, or the seed itself. Or impatience (it is supposed to be a "slow-growing low maintenance" seed after all...)...See Moresunnyca_gw
