Farmland needs to be fertilized at the beginning of the year or sometimes you do that in the fall so it's ready for next year. Manure makes a great fertilizer but the neighbors don't care for it.
Ahh the Saturday night fights.
He's why HOAs exist.Guy I used to work with is a great guy, but don't cross him.
Worked with him when I first moved here, in an old building, with a flat roof. We were both mechanics.
Every rain, water would leak into the shop and make the floor a mess. Must have been the low point there.
Anyway, one day between rains, he asked me to raise him up there with a loader bucket. I figured he would be checking for source of the leak.
But no...he counted steps to the owner's office. Proceeded to take an awl and make sure he took on water also, right above his desk.
The roof was repaired soon.
He owns an acreage about 6 miles out of town. Nice quiet neighborhood, surrounded by farm land. Fast forward, guy about 1/4 mile down the road from him, decided to build one of those fancy wedding and event venues. Really nice looking place. Neighbor's protested, but the county approved the permit
and it was built.
Now he invites almost anybody and their friends, to come to his acreage shooting during their events. LOL! I want it to sound like a shooting range, his exact words. I attended one of his shoots. They set off some 1LB jugs of Tannerite. Then the grand final was a 4LB jug. It had to have rattled their windows. You can hear a blast like that 10 miles away.
None out in that area, just single family acreages.
I suppose if the venue owner greased his palms for a couple hundred $ per event, he might keep the shooting down.
They moved into his area, not him into theirs. Now he gets to listen to their music until midnight.
Wish I could persuade them into playing Rap music. That would probably push him over the edge!
Sure but just saying his behavior is why HOAs exist.None out in that area, just single family acreages.

That statement alone completely justifies his actions!
Please tell him we all give our blessings to carry on with his childish tantrum.
You're right, very few if any HOAs would allow a commercial event venue and music/party until the late hours......
Actually, the wedding venue operator is equally at fault. That venue, that makes loud music and disturbs @Jdeere562 ’s friend, is a nuisance as well. That operator didn’t ask the neighbors if they were OK with loud parties and live music every weekend. That kind of behaviour wouldn’t fly with an HOA, either.

We have a family of "imigrants? illegals?" who knows? that moved in next to the house we have lived in for 25 years. Tried to catch them in the yard to welcome them but they will NOT make eye contact and they almost RUN to the other side of the yard or inside when they see us coming. Ok. So they are not social folks. No biggie. I did meet an older fellow and a little girl on sidewalk and introduced myself and he said he lives there with his son and his grandchildren. Then the FUN started. Each and EVERY Saturday from 1200 noon until 1200 midnight they will play the booming bass speaker music so loud you can hear it up and down the street and from their back yard where they have set up lights to party is right against our back den and bedroom. I have gone to knock and they wont answer the door. I have called the police on them probably 40 times in 12 months. The police have shown up every time and made them turn it down ONLY to have them turn it back louder still once police are gone. I have called them back etc... We then found out they have set up a security camera
pointing at my side garage door and when I open it they only scream and laugh loud and turn the music louder. This is not only baad
actions, attitude neighbors but I take it as total discrespect. I have even parked a car between the houses in my yard (wooden fence) divides yards and set off the car alarm hoping they would call the law. NOT! They just played it louder. Three weekends ago they started again and then it went off. It has been OFF since. We finally found out that once the police saw that more folks were calling other than just me, they were hit with a very hefty fine and have been super quiet since. This is really a sad deal when you have young folks who come here and do not even respect the people or community or country they are now in. I hope that fine stung them good. Of course he has all kind of giant trucks and trailers parked all in the street for some construction business he runs. Probably loaded with money and may not even pay taxes. I just do not get how people are raised these days to pull such disrespectful stunt and attitude they have. In other words it took the police to make them ACT in a civil manner. Truly saddens me.

I agree, this situation seems frustrating for both sides, but the guy doing the shooting range should ask himself how would he feel if someone did this at his son or daughters wedding... Sometimes people just need to try and get along.

I was gonna say the same thing....childish...like those stories when people have 9 mil. homes, and both parties direct loudspeakers at the other's home, just to antagonize the other. Or they deliberately build something to block a view.
When young folks are getting married, do we give them a lecture on the divorce rates and ask why they think they can beat the odds? Of course not. We wish them a happy life ahead.

yeah. I would be careful with certain types of retaliation. Lots of laws these days people know about n how to use and will at times. I have talked to a lawyer and been told when someone does things intentional to disturb your peace you can actually take them to court and have them fined.

I completely agree. My ex lived in a 3-unit building/house in Chicago and her upstairs neighbor would always play stupid loud music during the day. No way to make them stop, unless we were to play stupid loud music at night in retaliation when they were trying to sleep (we never did but we sure made them hear other things.)

By the way, I have a crazy neighbor. Literally. One time, she called the cops, because I told her that her mulch has artillery fungus and its spores are going all over the place. I've told her to her face she has some sort of mental issue and if she told me what that is, maybe we could be understanding to her explosive tantrums (one time when my dog was a senior he slipped on the ice at the front of her house on the sidewalk. She came over, walked past me, started banging on the front door, and woke up the baby. I told her you are absolutely crazy. If my dog went on your lawn and I didn't clean up, let's walk over there and look--you'll be able to show me what you say I did to you. She refused.). She used to have what I call a handler. He was this guy Davey who was an ex-Phila cop. Nice guy. When he was around? Somehow he kept her in check. But he hasn't been around for years and years, unfortunately. Now imagine if she decided to "retaliate" or seek revenge for what she perceives as an ahole neighbor (me). There's a lot she can do to make my family's life miserable, prior to breaking the law. I'd likely have to move as I have a family, she does not.
Sure but they obtained prior approval from the county so it doesn't matter what the neighbors think. Clearly this passive aggressive neighbor is willing to act out over things he doesn't approve of.
