AIBU to go into CF neighbours bedroom

[Gardenwoe]

Am I going mad or is my neighbour a CF?

Background: We live in a terraced house, and our bedroom is on the ground floor (recently converted/redone) and a patch of wet appeared near the skirting board on the wall. Couldn’t work out where it’s coming from as we know there are no pipes there, wondered if it might be coming through from next door as they have a disused shower room against that wall. Always got on Ok with neighbours (we have been here for 18 years, they have even longer) so asked if he could take a look his side. There’s so much junk there we couldn’t even get close to where the possible water leak could be coming from, so left it at that and realized we would have to investigate from our side.

So we asked our builder to pop in and take a look at some point. He’s also a close family friend, so when he turned up yesterday just as we were leaving for work, we let him in and left him to it. We knew he was going to have to take the skirting of and make some noise knocking out some of the bricks to try and see if the damp course had been breached.

Our front door was open so the builder could go in and out to his van parked on the drive immediately outside. Cheeky neighbour hears the banging, arrives at the front door, rings the Ring doorbell. No answer. Peers through the open door. Checks up the stairs (townhouse) Then wanders into to hallway…opens bedroom door where builder is working , goes into bedroom and demands to know why he’s making all this noise! (11am btw, not unsociable hours) Builder explained what he was doing, neighbour moaned obviously unhappy and left.

DH went round this morning to ask what he was playing at, entering into our house/bedroom uninvited. On not getting an answer when he knocked on the door he should have turned around and waited for us to get home or rang us. His answer was that we should have let him know we were going to be making noise. (Builder was finished in under an hour)

AIBU in thinking the next time I see his front or back door open I should go round and go into his bedroom?

[quote Bargebill19]@Gardenwoe. Do you have a remote camera scope that you can use.? Might show something else in there which in turn may lead to a solution eg if water is dripping or pooling and then running along a piece of metal/brick work/ etc.
(In answer to you other question - because people are …..)[/quote]
If that remote camera scope ends up through the wall and into the neighbour’s bedroom this would be a brilliant finish. I’ll watch this thread.

Ha ha!! No they are like endoscope, go’s helps us if they punctured a human insides! Now that would be leaky!

How are people saying it's not a big deal or a problem, you don't just walk into other peoples property's even if a neighbor unless your super close and that is normal in the relationship. not a excuse he was just doing it to be nosey and complain by the sound of other things that have been said.

I honestly couldn’t get worked up about this. He didn’t do any harm. He walked in. Spoke to the builder and left.
