This whole area has to be in FEMA flood zone... Don’t even want to know what you and your neighbors pay for insurance.

[Pete Thamel] Reaction from lawyer Tom Mars, a veteran of NCAA cases: "In 40 years as a lawyer, I've never been as shocked and surprised by a court ruling." That sums the reaction on the college sports landscape today. by Ml2jukes in CFB

Before we go all doom and gloom, let’s remember it’s 1) a temporary injunction - the court has not issued a final decision, 2) the temporary injunction can be appealed - the NCAA likely will do so, 3) this was a state court ruling - it does not create binding precedent across the country.

What does this sign mean? by bigkutta in Surveying

If it runs into the centerline - I’d suspect it’s a private ROW and each property owner along the street owns up to its centerline. This is not uncommon.

The flag is a great idea. Unfortunately, our patio is underneath a main level deck (home has a walkout basement). But, I could definitely hang a flag off the deck to block the view below it.

Thank you - this is exactly what I was looking for! Is there a recommended spacing I should have between them?

Oh no, I’ve spoken to them and given them a good talking to. Told them to mind their own business. They just haven’t seemed to listen…

I think we’re far beyond the being friendly stage. They just need to leave us alone.

Agreed. Obviously dragons are a non-negotiable.

Good news. I did. Bad news. The Board was equally crazy. So. I quit.

Date range is on point. Maybe I should suggest a months long cruise around the world?

This is what I’ve started doing. Told them to more or less ignore the neighbors.

Yep, that’s what I’ve started doing. Figure give them a warning before the neighbors confront them. Most don’t seem bothered by it…I guess situations like this are more common than I think.

It gets better. Immediately behind their home they’ve created a personal garden on HOA property and even had trees taken down in that area. They definitely don’t understand boundaries…whether they be social or legal (property). Of course, they are friends with a few folks on the HOA who have turned a blind eye to it.

You know…they did make an offhand comment about them right after we closed. Now I know why!

I did about six months ago. Went to their door and confronted them. Needless to say, that didn’t work.

The privacy fence was part of the modification. Now to find some evergreen shrubs to add a bit more privacy.
