My neighbour who, for reasons previously documented on this forum, we don't really speak to (Well actually technically my wife and i both speak to him, he just ignores us or complains about stuff) came up with a pearler 2 weeks ago.
They have a new baby, which is nice. The baby is in a bedroom about 10m from my front door, their choice to put it in there, not mine. They decided to install a heat pump and decided the inverter would be perfect to be installed on my property/land which I had to point out wasn't acceptable and got them to move it. That annoyed him a bit, which interested me as they'd parked in my driveway, and lugged all the gear up my front path and over my wall to get to the install position. Having painted the wall the week before my wife was a bit miffed to find it chipped and all the paint pulled off as well as 4 new pohutikawa trees trampled over. His view was we weren;t in so access was fair game. That is his attitude.
Anyway, he left me a note in the letterbox asking me to not bang my front door after 6pm and before 6am ! I'm not totally sure how I am supposed to close it then, bizarre. I left him a note saying I'd do what I can but I'm not planning to be under house arrest between 6pm and 6am for his babies benefit !
This is the guy who complained about our extension blocking part of his view from his downstairs toilet and babies bedroom. He reckoned his newborn needed to be able to see the water out of the window. Having lodged the plans 4 years ago and having held resource consent to change the roofline he blamed me for him not paying $330 to check the LIM report before he bought his house. He is nuts, absolutely barking mad.
This new one takes the bsicuit though, what amazes me is I play the drums and he's never once complained about that although i do stop before 7.30pm for everyones sakes. But shutting my door. 🙄
