I am still here guys. Weekends are really busy with my 3 year old and 6 week old son.
So my weirdo neighbor cut his grass Friday afternoon, he knows about the camera on the side of the house. When he was cutting the grass, he was cutting the grass backwards to avoid the camera so I couldn't see his face.
When my video camera motion detector went off and I saw it, I *****. seriously? He was dragging his lawn mower backwards with one arm while he was cutting. It didn't appear natural at all. At night, there appears to be a bright light emitting from his backyard, I think he is trying to blind my video camera with light. I'm not sure, I hope not, it would take a 500 watt batman spotlight to do it. That would be too obvious!
I'm about to water my new arbor vitae trees that I planted up against the fence last week. I can't wait until they grow 8-10 feet tall to block my view of his windows. He planted three cypress trees up against the fence as well.
I have seen some advice about the lights. I re-aimed and used 45 watt Par 38 bulbs. I didn't want to use CFL bulbs non-flood lights only, I believe they won't last in the elements. I didn't want motion detector, it would be pretty much turning them off. I have all four corners on at night. since vandalism has occurred, it makes sense to have them on even more now.
There's talk that I'm not manning up by not talking to him. If he wants to talk, he can knock my door anytime during the day. He would be foolish to report the floodlights to the HOA AFTER he vandalized my light fixture. I truly believe I am not escalating the situation. I am taking the high road here. I did not call police, I did not have the HOA to send him a nasty letter, and I didn't vandalize his property in retaliation. Although, I thought some round up weed killer in his rose garden would be perfect. I kid! I Kid!
I notice he still closes his kitchen windows at night when my 45 watt floodlights are on. So maybe he thinks I can see inside his house at night. I did talk to my neighbor on the other side of me, he's great. I asked him point blank if my floodlights bothered him, he said no. He said no one in his family said anything about it. This weirdo neighbor might think I'm trying to harass him with my floodlights and ruin his night sky or I'm doing it to be a total jerk. which is not the case at all.
