NH Homesteader's journal

Yep- gotta get rid of those freeloaders!

There's a little patch of woods between us and the neighbors. Unfortunately, the neighbor owns it. Our fear since we moved here has been them cutting down the trees. Well today he's cutting down trees between our houses. That won't work for me. If my privacy disappears, they better enjoy DH's poultry processing unit right on the property line. Grrrr

 

[frustratedearthmother]

OH man....neighbors! I could do without 'em!

 

[NH Homesteader]

We'll move. I'm not even kidding. I'll be bugging my DH when he gets home to start looking into our options because living next to these people whose (unfriendly) dogs just show up in our yard already is bad enough. I can't even bring my dogs out right now because I can see him from my front yard.

I AM NOT SOCIAL people!! Lol!!!

I AM NOT SOCIAL people!! Lol!!!

Me either!! There's a reason I have critters!

 

[NH Homesteader]

DH is even less social than me. He's going to flip when he gets home.

That's not to mention that some of the trees can reach my house... I question whether they're even allowed to cut that close to the property line... Gotta go talk to my stepdad about that.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh man....that close? That's even MORE sucky!

 

[NH Homesteader]

Yep. That close. And apparently they're allowed to do that because the stone wall is our property line so they can cut anything on their side of the stone wall.

Hmm.. it's easier to move lumber than to move a barn.

I am curious how this unfolds. I would be beyond aggravated! I don't care for neighbors much either. We have a good neighbor - he works out of state and is only here like 1 day every 3 months.

 

[NH Homesteader]

That IS a good neighbor! DH said it looks like they're taking all the pine trees and he's thinking/hoping they will stop at that. He told me I was being dramatic but then he spent the next hour researching different towns' tax rates and seeing what was for sale near us.
