WOW my neighbor from hell!

[SS Shaun]

So on Friday we had a major rain storm i mean major. so with all that rain caused one of my trees went down. I couldn't do much because of all the rain. So yesterday I went to get a chain saw and went to work. Rewind about 3 weeks my neighbor has not cut his grass in some areas in years i mean 7 or 8 years. So i had a friend come over and level part of my yard and a big part of his yard. Now i can cut it with no issues and today for the first time he was cutting the grass that was great.

No lets go back to today. I am cutting and chipping all the wood. doing everything the right way and trying to get it all the way down to so its like mulch. So he comes up to me today and says
"what are you going to do with all this?"
I said "well i have to wait a few dry days so I can cut up the rest and burn it"
he said "I am giving you 1 week to get all this stuff of my property"
I just looked at him and said what is on your property?
all the brush and some twigs that came off something that my ride on mower would just suck up and go.

I have done so much to help clean his areas because he works 2 states away in NYC and i know he is not home. So I cut the grass and trim what ever wild branches that grow over and go from there. and today he turned around and completely flipped on me then his wife comes out and said "i need to respect my elders"
I couldn't believe my ears so he is going to give me one week to get the stump off his land. I am in complete disbelief that he is acting like this when i just told him i need it to dry so i can get my chain saw on it ! my head hurts i just needed to rant sorry

[flash]

I have a neighbor like that but she is in her late 80's so when she complains I just smile and walk away.

i walked away from him and then his wife wants to run up like she was going to hit me. My wife came over and spoke to her claim but she didn't want to stop. I was ready to call the cop. it was insane!!!

Unbelievable. I would just leave the stuff there until it drys out. Doesn't sound like there is much you can do with it now anyway.

Check your local law about trees falling on someone else's property. Here in Michigan, if my tree falls on a neighbors property, it is HIS responsibility to remove it. If that is the case where you live, that SOB would be cleaning his own property up. Even if that isn't the law, what is he going to do? File a law suit against you? I doubt it. He is just an asshole, same as his wife. Leave everything on his property. You already made an effort to be the good neighbor. Now show him what a bad neighbor you can be.

In ky if a tree falls it is the responsibility of the tree owner. Home owners insurance covers it. Ask me how I know.
When my chevelle first came home so long long ago I had another house. Tornado knocked a tree down from a neighbor's yard. Yes you guessed it. I came home one night and there was a tree laying on the roof of the chevelle. Missed my POS voyager van and hit the car.
Anyway I went and told him. He came over and we cut it up. He hauled it off. I helped cut and load.
That car has been through alot. There are reasons it took me 10 years to get this far.

that is exactly what i wanted to do. I just wanted it to dry out for a few days so i can remove as much dirt from the roots and begin to cut it up and chip it.

Just found out that is the law in PA also if it falls its the owner of where it fell responsibility to deal with it

It is so sad when a neighbor doesn't appreciate another neighbor when they are trying to be nice.

so i get home and my wife is holding a letter in her hand. I have not read it yet but it was an apology letter from them. I think he realized how much he is going to have to mow now
