NC for this ....
We have a drive (second property, currently holiday home), it is a shared drive and in a very poor state, it needs to be replaced.
Our neighbour is extremely difficult, they moan at everything we do, they moan about other neighbours and complain to council about fences (not ours, the other side of them, which of course was completely legal).
We agreed where our drive is coming to, the dimensions were on our deeds, we have made a mark with our sub contractor and neighbour and it was agreed.
It will entail removing some concrete, which our subcontractor is going to do and it will not damage her property, all this has been discussed.
So. sub contractor and I agreed work to be done this week, I will be going to property later today and will then be there for the rest of the week.
Sub contractor arrives this morning and starts work (not on her side of the property), she comes out and start creating, a weeks notice is insufficient for her (not sure why, she only needs to park to the right of her drive. In my email telling her when the work is being done, I said that I would pay for cleaning after (it will be dusty), windows and car etc.
I am not sure what she is complaining about if I am honest, she says that she should have had more notice, but I am not obliged to give any notice. She said she has had to take a day off work, because she doesn't trust me and she doesn't trust the sub contractor. The sub contractor lives in the same road and she knows him well, his work is excellent and he is the cleanest worker I know. He would not abuse anything and as an example a friend of mine used him and again it was a dusty job, so she went to her neighbour when it was finished and said if you need the windows cleaned let me know, the neighbour said "the sub contractor did them, cleanest they've been in a long while!".
She want's to meet with me this afternoon, fine, but I have up until now played fair, I've met with her agreed boundary, informed her that the work is being done etc,
She said to the builder that I am horrible to her, I am not. She has also said to me that her neighbour the other side is horrible to her, they're nice people from my dealings with them.
She's going to moan that "I didn't give enough notice", that's all she can say, but again she doesn't need to do anything other than park a little further over.
Am I justified with now saying "enough", Im not interacting with this anymore. Up until now i've been really nice, but I now need to be firm and say I don't want to discuss anymore with her?
