My neighbor launched a lawsuit naming me and my association as defendants, the suit is based on noise from my garage. This is a condo/Townhome and we are attached. The short story is she hired the biggest law firm who enlisted a sound specialist to study the noise. This was a huge dog and pony show in there there sound specialist had recorded 3 weeks of sounds, in short my garage is now off limits to anything but parking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I suspect she put out between 5 and 7 thousand dollars to whip this together.
P.S. Its not over till the fat lady sings, however I wont spend a cent on lawyers.. The noises that made the cut were all from making parts, cutting, grinding and hammering. I'll just have to make the parts somewhere else, however I wont stop tinkering and didn't spend a cent. This brat is gearing up to do a sound study based on household noise, she says we wake her up every night, so I suspect there will be a round two.. I would guess its going to be a much harder sell for her to get traction with this issue.. I hate condos x infinity but its made me 500K in the last 10 years but will be replaced by a farmhouse home in Washington state some time soon.. |

Gotta watch out when moving to the country. My first house was in the Santa Cruz mountains, 5.5 acres, 5 miles of dirt road to the house. Rural splendor. And total yahoos for neighbors. The people down the hill from us used to practice shooting their rifles after drinking too much....the bullets used to fly over our house.
Anyways, I talked to them, they denied shooting, even tho the targets were still up. (I noticed the targets were Sheriff outlines). Needless to say, the sheriff just LOVED talking to them. One of them went off in handcuffs. I do like some of the suggestions given, but always, always work within the law. Cause if you get caught, you might end up in handcuffs, and become Best Friends with Bubba in the jail. Remember the 11th commandment - Don't Get Caught. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
