To want my neighbour to fuck the fuck right off?

[Wommer]

Ok - back history, we moved in about a year ago. They moved in 3 weeks later.
Since then the have constructed and de-constructed their shed approx 20 million times. The garden is a shit tip. Just needs a rusty ford capri to really complement the b and q stock pile, broken toys (a mystery as they have no dcs and I've never seen a child there) random bike with no wheels and broken double glazed window.
All week (am on mat leave so in most of the time with 2.5 mo ds) he's got his circular saw going on the patio until 7 at night sometimes. We look forward to spending the weekend in the garden without it sounding like we live in a lumber mechant's.
It's the nicest day of a rather crappy year so
far and 2 hours ago he said he'd be sawing
for 10 minutes. 2 hours later he's still going.
I hate him!!!! He's a huge arse!!!
Am aware this is a Putney crisis but am hugely pissed off!

Yanbu, but maybe the toys etc were left there when they moved in.

Take a deep breath and think of the revenge you'll get when you start controlled crying

Could he be using the garden for commercial purposes do you think?

Thanks DS doesn't cry much but am tempted to record him when he does have a hissy fit, and play it loudly through the air vents on the party wall!

When I moved into my house a year ago it was the garden was wall to wall rubbish and the house was a nightmare, I have done loads to it and have had very patient neighbours. If I am doing anything really noisy I will always go around and check the baby isn't sleeping or they don't have company and they have always been really good about it. They also saw the mess of the place when I moved in so have been really nice about me having had about 8 skips out the front as I have always told them 1st. I think if you show a bit of basic respect then you get it back. Your neighbours sound a bit selfish to me. You could contact the local council and see what they suggest, it may be a health hazard to have so much rubbish out or something.

Is the garden bad enough to call environmental health?

Crispy - no he moves far to slowly for that... He's had the roof on and off his sodding shed 4 times since September and then last month decided to tear the whole thing down and hand build a new one from scratch.

Think his grand father was Heath Robinson.

He's just started sawing again FFS!!!!!

Can you ask him if he'll be long?

Missy you sound like a lovely neighbour. I shall come a live next to you. we shall share skips and drink tea in each other's garden.

My dm reckons they've got that disorder where you hoard stuff.... Unfortunately I don't think that they've got that as an excuse. Just inconsiderate, lazy, incompetent building, arses.

If I could I'd leave the bastard! But he's not mine to leave... Thank god!

maybe he is a perfectionist, not achieving much due to redoing jobs till they are perfect. When he has inside done he will probably sort the garden, stripes and all.

My neighbour is a pain as well. He has an anxiety disorder and says that's why his garden is a state but he does DIY in house and takes a year to complete one job. Saying that we have lived next door to him for 12 years, cut his hedge and go pick him up from wherever he is stuck when having his latest attack.
Our car broke down few days ago and he helped my dh to fix it.
These strange types can grow on you eventually. Hang in there.

Mrs rj - sadly not, he's not good enough at anything for that!

Leena - maybe you live next door to my neighbour's brother!

My dh just asked him how much longer he was going to be and he went totally mental... Banging on about how he was tricked into buying a rubbish house and it wasn't his fault and if we thought it was bad living next door try living in it.
When dh said to calm down he told him to stop the psycho analysing bs

Have decided he's a whole picnic short of a picnic....

Get him some local chippy and slip phone numbers, save you all the stress.

Your descriptipn of the garden is funny. Is his name Onslo?

Yep sounds like they could be related! Try the softly approach he is obviously upset by greater things than you guys.
I've called my neighbour mental in the past but now we get on.
Say to him 'oh I can see you have a lot on your hands is there anything we can do to help because my child needs to sleep in a bit '

I feel for you. My next-door-but-one neighbours used to be awful for their sheds. Every summer they would spend months building and moving sheds around and making the garden different. We used to endure months of hammering, infact we used to call him tap tap when we saw him.

Then the next summer it was all change again, this went on for years then it was dog pens that had to be built, dismantled, rebuilt, taken down again and so on. It only bloody stopped when he died.

when ours moved in they were friendly, then went funny when we had our extension built. they used to dig garden, plant veg etc but now the grass is nearly fence height we call them the half done's cos they go out and mow (badly) half the front or back lawn then leave it! they appear doing random stuff whenever we do work in the garden, just to look at what we are doing I think. DH was cutting back trees so he started on his side. when I asked him nicely to stick to his side and not come over the fence (he was) he snottily asked where we wanted the cuttings! DH said wherever you want mate, they are still lying in the uncut grass on his side 7 weeks later. They never open windows, (both smoke) never have washing out, never use the garden at all and when I went round to retrieve a blown off sheet it was covered, literally covered in cat shit in various stages of decomposition boak stinks in warm weather, if we ever get any dunno what we did to offend but they are right arsey with us, oh well couldn't care a bit

now , that fella is a perfectionist ! think about it !and keen too !
