Long Island sucks ass.

I agree, Squirrel should go over and ask if he can clean it up himself because he's tired of looking at it.....

i don't agree with you much, but you are spot on here..

You should tell him that you posted the pics on the site. Tell him to log on so I can tell him what I just told you.I see no pride there just crap. I can understand if he has fallen on hard times but that don't change the fact that that place is a junkyard. He should be the one to move... to a real junkyard.

I hope my place never gets like that, I wouldn't do it to my neighbors.

it is his property to do with as he sees fit..he is not putting any one in danger, so either build a fence or quit whining. the fact that you or the OP don't like it is irrelevant.....

I have no neighbors and my place stays reasonable. I have to look at it i could care less what anyone else thinks, But i like having things look decent.

Idk how a fence cost 9-15k. I could put up a fence that size in a day.

Or get some plastic strip's in you chain link, from the sides it will look a solid color.

If i ever had neighbors id have 12ft high fences! I don't want people seeing me and i don't wanna see anyone else.

Other then that your going to have to get over it or go clean it yourself.

I know a lot of people who work all day everyday and its hard to find time to make things look good.

Only wrong thing he dad was rip you off. Idk why you didn't solve that when it happened.

Some thoughts

Actually and sadly he can't do what he sees fit. Like around here I am sure there are township ordinances. The new mailer we get from our township sayd you now need a permit for a home based business.
the way the township clean the leaves out of the road gutters is to have the guys blow them into our yards.
What kind of world would it be if we all could do what we really wanted anyway? Like do you think we should all be allowed to walk around our yards naked? Should you be able to raise livestock in a residential neighborhood?
and by the way I know Treeco's wife would kick his ass if he didn't keep the place tidy.

I don't think bringing this discussion to AS is really helping the situation. The OP (squirrell...?) oughta actually do something about the situation, rather than let us all argue about whether or not the slob next door has the right to be a slob. Our opinions in this matter aren't going to fix anything.

OP, go next door and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Then let us know how it turns out.

Sorry your house lost value, and sorry that guy made a mess you have to look at, and sorry that he may or may not be a scumbag. This guy has every right to conduct himself in a manner he sees fit, just as you do. If he is violating any local/municipal/regional/state/federal laws, then put the law to work for you. If he is not, deal with it or move on.

The only way to resolve this matter is to actually do something about it.

The OP kinda reminds me of of the people that buy a house next to an airport or train tracks and then complain about the noise.

Glad you are in new york and not Wisconsin.

Dont want to see other peoples junk. Move to a subdivision with covenants that prevent that kind of stuff or buy a large chunk of woods out in the country and slap your house in the middle of it.

i purposely bought a house next to RxR tracks ,so i dont have neighbors,and i love the noise!

[treemandan]

I think we just all should be happy that there are rules that prohibit me from walking around my yard naked. Ya'll too for that matter.

[pigpen60]

did ya research the neighborhood BEFORE you bought it? not drive to the house only looking from car. get out and talk to the people, talk to the local fuzz. if you didnt its your fault you made a bad investment! people suck! hell i have a neighbor that use to mow 5 foot of my yard cause "tall grass causes mice in his house". i mow my yard and ignore him even when he burns leaves in that 5 foot space. he sucks but im not screwin my marriage and my health up over crap as silly as that! love as always, pigpen

Dead on & level headed, noted & well spoken. I really did not wish this to go in this direction.

Again - the situation since I purchased the property has become worse.

Wisconsin? I drove from Grand Forks N.D. to Long Island N.Y. and stopped in Madison. The only time in my life my active duty issues were stolen while in the states, (Madison - Wisconsin)
Gorgeous state besides the fact.

I posted this thread to show the other side of the coin, with neighbors in close proximity, and a bad case scenerio to boot.

I started reading the thread
http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=74451

Where else does a single thread have nearly 12K views on this site, it's a hot issue to say the least. One see's it one way, the other another (three times quick).

Let's talk chain saws, NHolz Hausens, turkeys' being done, my stomach is upside down already.

ok Suffolk county is easy on trucks here in nassau i am in glen cove you con not have trucks at your house or have more then 2 cords at your house nice farm country thear tom trees

[cableguy256]

Ya know, I'm glad I read this thread... it just reinstates the thought that I am glad I have VERY few neighbors... we all burn wood, and we all get along including helping each other do things like cut/split/stack our wood, plus we all get together twice a year to clean up our properties to get rid of any 'accumulation' over the winter/summer.

Squirrel, your in the country now. This is what happens in the country. If you bought into a private golf community your view would be much nicer. But you didnt buy into a fancy upscale golf community you bought in the country, you didnt fork over the cash required to buy into an upscale community.. You are the bad neihbor. You need to loosen up and be friendly. Or move if you cant deal with it. Your neighbor has no obligation to provide you with a scenic view. Make nice and understand the country way of life. Classic case of someone that appreciates wine and caviar yet is so cheap they buy into a beer and sausage neighborhood. Shame on you, repent your sins and help your neighbor split firewood. Maybe he ll share some venison and beer. He might even plow your driveway with his tractor.

Please, that dude's a raggie, plain and simple.

He aint never gonna do anything with all that junk...anymore than that boat's gonna set sail again someday...or maybe that truck all restored and delivering lovely seasoned firewood (instead of that rotten crap threatening to spill onto squirrel's's property). lol.

I'm all for mind yer own business and all, but lets keep it real here.
