I just wish this cuban a-hole (he tells me it's a FREE country and that he'll do what he wants, YA RIGHT) who lives across the street from yours truly, would get his s**t together for once in his life...<br /><br />It seems that a few years ago this idiot decided to put an addition on his house and inclose the carport with the intention of moving into a trailer and renting the entire house to at least three families (at one time)... Problem is that he did so with absolutely no building permits, no inspections, and the area where we live is zoned as single family, ONLY, not to mention the fact that he was claiming his homestead exemption all that time (Homestead exemption is basicly a property tax exemption for those who own, and live in the house in which they claim the exemption)... He obviously does not even know what day to put his garbage, and what type of garbage goes on what day because he has been fined and told by the code inforecment officer at least half a dozen times that I know of, cause I did turn him in for that.. <br /><br />Building codes in Florida are very strict, especially in South Florida because of hurricanes...<br /><br />Well, his bubble got burst about a year ago when the city got wind of what was going on... I did not turn him in, although in retospect, I should have... He was forced to clean up the garbage which was carted away in two large roll-off dumpsters, tear down the mosquito infested pool with the green water, get permits for all the additions and pay additional fines for not doing it right the first time, and fix all the building code violations which he has yet to do, and most likely won't do...<br /><br />Now, he stand out in the middle of the street yelling at me all the time in a ****-poor attempt at english, calls me a racisist because I hate cubans (and YES, I do HATE cubans which is the ONLY true statement to spew from his foul mouth), calls me a son-of-a-b****, says I have sex with my mother, says he knows where I work and is going to get me fired (I own the company :rolleyes: ), says I have a criminal record a mile long (I have one traffic violation on my record for a minor accident :rolleyes: ), and today he threatens me with physical harm... This is the most amusing part as I'm 30 years younger and in excellent physical condition.. I'd mop the floor up with the guy... :rolleyes: <br /><br />I usually just let him ramble on, all the time he's just making a bigger ass of himself... The cops have been out several times to cool him off which does no good...<br /><br />What to do??? Knock the rest of his few remaning teeth out??? I have considered moving to greener pastures in 6 months to a year from now, but I like my home as it is... :confused: What to do...

Re: Neighbors...

i truly mean this - i'm sorry for your situation. it bites. i've been through it too. <br /><br />in hindsight, i'd say you might want to think about those housing covenants, if he is living where there are covenants. become an elected officer, boot his hiney...

Re: Neighbors...

Treat him with love brother snapperbait. <br />Send the Johovah's witness's to visit him. (no offense intended)<br /><br />You are not racist. Prejudiced, but not racist as "cuban" is not a race, but a nation of origin.<br /><br />You have 3 legal options. <br />Hide in your house.<br />Fight him every chance you get. Code enforcement, law suits, etc.<br />Move.<br /><br />The first one makes you a coward and kills your spirit.<br />The second one is futile.<br />The third option sets you free and soon you will forget all about him.<br />Its not about him getting the best of you and driving you out. Its about you getting the best for your self.

Re: Neighbors...

Arseholes like that usually move on. He's most likely got a morgage to pay so is there for a few years more.<br />He stands on the street to yell at you just to get the neighbours attention, it works. They'll all be at their windows looking.<br />He calls you all types of names because that'll get you all riled up and ready to fight.<br />He says you sleep with your momma to drive the final nail in.<br />Have you got a local chapter of the "Hells Angles" somewhere near. For a fee they'll soon have this gentleman move out!<br />Is there a Guatamalean freighter in port, that is another option.<br />Seriously mate, this one is to be played by the book, grin and bear it. Scumlike that give up too easily and he'll soon tire of it and get angry with somebody else.<br />Don't move, it's likely he'd buy your house and put another family in there!<br />Ross

Re: Neighbors...

Hey snapper, go out and find you 2 or 3 dead skunks and throw them up under his house.<br /><br />After a day or two in Fla's heat they will start getting ripe under there. :D

Re: Neighbors...

Yup.. It's another one... I'm surrounded... The last white guy on the block... Everyone else got out while the gettin' was good....<br /><br />In the last 10-15 years the south end of West Palm Beach has gone right down the tubes... It was a nice place to live, at one time... Now this place is infested with the scum of the earth... <br /><br />This guy ain't movin' on me thinks, only because he likely could not sell his house because of the multiple code and building violations... I'd just about bet that the city is going to, or already has put leins on the property.. <br /><br />I took a second job a few weeks ago so I may be able to implement plan B, which is "gettin out of Dodge"..<br /><br />Gotta get to work now... See ya.. :D

Re: Neighbors...

Tough story Snapper. Instead of coming to the US and adopting our ways, the 3rd world has been brought to you. That will jade anybody. While he is in the middle of a tirade, have you ever asked him exactly what he wants from you? Is is possible that you can work out a cease fire till you can move?

Re: Neighbors...

Just don't sound right Snapper but looks like you got two choices and that is live with it or without it. Hill folk have a way of expressing themselves to folks like you got.<br />We invite them to go snapping turtle huntn with us. When they ask us what bait we use we just smile atem.......

Re: Neighbors...

Yes indeed. every block has one, or several. Here We have the old bitty with nothing better to do then (*$&# about anything we do. then theres another one of them. and ya cant forget the crack ***** next door living off welfare (MY Money) driving a brand new ranger 4x4, then totaled it and got a nice convertible. :mad: makes me sick. The latest happened to be the second one, she called the police on us because our boat was "unsightly" Well our garage just burnt down and did some damage to the boat, I mean we are devastated!!!! can you imagine what we are having to do and she complains about that?!? now everyone has boats in their yard, including the cheif of police who came over to tell us to get rid of it. Well we did wind up selling it in a week, but not because of that, it was already for sale. all the work needed is being done right where it sits. Cheboygan is known as "rivertown" EVERYONE has boats in their yard, what the...?<br /><br />Neighbors suck!<br />Craig :D <br />

Re: Neighbors...

Guys... Thanks...<br /><br />Craig... DAMN RIGHT... NEIGHBORS SUCK! Wish I had an old boat like yours... :D <br /><br />SCO, This guy is probably certifiably bonkers... Me thinks that he needs to pay a visit to the padded party room at the local mental health facility... He is totaly un-aprochable.. I asked him yesterday durring his tie-raid if he wished to discuss his issues in a civilized manner instead of acting like an ass.. That was a no-go, so I just stood there and listened while I glared him right smack in the eye... Honestly, It would not suprise me if he were to show up with a gun and try to take a few shots at me... I almost wish he would try it so they would put him away where he belongs... He has threatened me and I have thoughts of obtaining a restraining order but I don't think I can cause he's not yet done anything to cause harm to myself or my property.. I dunno, but I think thats the way it works here...<br /><br />We were at one time like good neighbors should be... We'd talk about cars and stuff all the time... I've helped him several times to jump start his truck and other little things like that... <br /><br />I talked to his wife one day a good while back in a totaly civilized conversation, and all she could say was how pissed he was at me... She does not believe me, so she can go **** up a rope as well... <br /><br />Wonder if Mr. Hernandez would like to go meet Mr. Charlie the 15 foot Alligator... Hummmm? :p Nahhh, Charlie would probably spit him back out... Too greasy... :D

Re: Neighbors...

Snapper, I feel your pain. I had a women next to me that was absolutely nuts. She would call the cops as soon as my kids would go out into MY yard to play. One summer the cops were there 65 times. They said there was nothing they could do about it.They felt really bad.( At least we got to know the cops real well) She used to come along and scream and yell and curse the kids. One time a friend was over and she came onto my property and said to him that he killed her mother and father. Nutso. She would do damage to my property when I wasn't home. Thats just the tip of the iceburg. I too had thoughts that she might get a gun. Here is what I did. All it would take is for her to see me on my porch to set her off. I never did know what I did to her?? Anyway I set up a video camera in one of the wifes hanging plants on the porch. I would hit the remote every time she would come along and start up her crap. I got her on tape doing this on three occasions.I got her spitting on my steps in a rage. I never even said a word I just let her go off. I then filed a harrasment suite against her in the local court. When the day came the judge heard both sides and of course she denied any wrong doing and said I was the problem. Thats when I showed the judge the tape. He did not even give her a chance to answer to it. She got slapped with fine's and was told to leave me and my family alone or face more fines and possible jail time. On the way out of court she flipped out on the receptionist and got into more trouble right there.They took her away in cuffs :D Anyway she moved on about three weeks after this happened. After seven years of hell it was finally over. I would have liked to know why she picked me to harrass.

I posted several months back how to tick-tack a house. See if you can "search" it out. Old but very effective.. It'll drive him crazy and he'll never have a clue.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty
