So many things wrong with that whole scenario! Not sure if that's a dick move or just plain stupidity. And even if the owner makes that call, does the fence installer not call BS or was it their idea and they advised the owner or just went ahead and did it?

The worst part...it's a see through fence so you can't even hide your contempt behind a solid wall.

I showed my wife and she is off her rocker pissed off for you, lol. She's going off on a rant!

WOW! What a stupid bunch of people. And what the hell is the point of that fence?! I wish warning labels didn't exist, it would rid the world of people like this.

I peaked too soon myself. Between the age of 26 and 36, I had three lake properties back to back. None of them were true lake front but all three had immediate access and at least two had great views.

Now I'm a subdivision dweller with an HOA and more BS rules than I can shake a stick at.
Your brave. I'll never buy in a HOA, the house could be free and i would walk away. Talk about the illusion of freedom.

It's hard to find something that isn't in an HOA here in the South. And "country living" down here is just not the same as it is up North. As much of a PITA an HOA is, it also shelters us from many things we have no interest in living next to. Plus my work is currently here and not up north so it is what it is.

Trust me, it's not where I ever imagined I would be living but there are perks to it as well. Life is all about choices, little things are big things and big things are little things. Perspective changes over the years and some of the best things in my life happened when I took big chances and moved to places far from anything I had ever known.

My HOA is great. Only cost 25$ a month and I am member that occasional shows up to meetings. More or less the only thing we do are minor repairs around the area. And no one has complained about my gokart and mini bike usage on the street. And the police cannot ticket me because it is a privately hoa owned street. :D

then you live in the dream HOA. Yours is now the new baseline for HOA's everywhere!
 
The whole see through fence thing is the real kick to the nuts.
Its gonna be hell for her. This lady just spent 200k plus on her backyard and i am basically white trash with money. I have a 48 foot reefer trailer with a big hot dog on the side of it as well as a beat up 66 ford and a rusted out 75 jeep that i can make my own fence with. Her immaculately landscaped yard pool and tennis court arent gonna look so hot when theres a 20 foot hot dog staring you down. Paybacks can be hell.

Please post pics of this and keep us updated. This sounds like it going to be fun to watch.

Ideas from the internet.


1. Allow your own home to fall into disrepair, thereby lowering your neighbor's property value.

2. Dig a tunnel underneath your neighbor's house, and expand it until the hole is the size of the home's foundation; then, watch with glee as your neighbor's house collapses into the hole. Get out of the hole first though.

3. Call and have pizzas delivered to your neighbor's home. When he refuses to pay, tell the pizza man, "I'll take em, put em on my card." Then give him your neighbor's credit card number, which you stole somehow.

4. Pee on your lawn so it trickles into your neighbor's lawn. No one can stop you.

5. Ask your neighbor who he voted for. Then say, "I voted for the other guy." When he gets angry at your political preference, tell him, "Just kidding, I voted for the same guy you did. But now you insulted me so I'm voting for the other guy next time." His guilt will eat him alive.

6. Hire Megadeth to perform in your backyard late at night. Don't invite your neighbor (a big fan).

7. Does your neighbor have pets? Not any more, if you know what we mean.

8. Your neighbor comes home one day to find all of his furniture on his front lawn, painstakingly arranged in the exact same way it had been inside his house. While he's looking at that you hit him with a water balloon.

9. If you see your neighbor's wife having sex with a dog, get it on tape.

10. When your neighbor tells you he's going to Home Depot to get new batteries for his smoke alarms, reassure him, "No need. I made sure all your smoke alarms were working properly, just yesterday." As he thanks you, an almost imperceptible smile plays across your lips.

You drilled that out with the cylinder on? That's talent. I don't have the patience for a repair like that. Lol

Sadly I have bought enough "good deals" on craigslist that I have way too much experience with broken bolts and removing poorly installed heli-coils. On this one I tried left handed drill bits in hopes it would catch the bolt and thread it out. (it didn't) I might invest in some left handed taps and left hand thread bolts for the next one.

Buy a used mig welder and save your money on those magic tricks. When you snap one off that set of cases is a doorstop.

With the amount of skis I part out, removing stuck bolts is like rebuilding a carb.
