I have a neighbor from He77 story and question.
I live on a busy county road. It wasn't busy, till all this gas drilling, but I digress. The road winds and curves up the hill till it gets up here and then levels off. As such, folks think it is fun to drive and everyone exceeds the posted forty MPH speed limit. Thing is, when you get to our part of the road, there is a big curve, and we have had cars run off the road on both sides. It is pretty common, happening at least three times a year. We have a huge hackberry tree that has been gouged almost in two from cars hitting it.
The guy across the road, where to start? He does not work, his house is a wreck. He has unfinished projects started everywhere. It is rumored he grows his own, about which I could care less. He has a toilet on his front porch that he removed, I am guessing, maybe he means to install it, that has been there for two years. He is the worldwide expert on everything. He also has the Sheriff's department on speed dial and they know his voice. He's, well, eccentric.
He is annoyed that people crash into his yard. I am, as well, but we live a lot further from the road than he does.
He has installed a light, no, a search light, a concentration camp light, a light you can light up a prison with, on his house. He means to light up the road, I guess, so that people won't crash.
Thing is, he missed the road and that light shines on my house and yard. It is brighter than Christmas in my front bedroom at night. It blocks out the stars. It shines around my house to my back yard. People comment in it. I am not being a crank here.
I had Steve go over and talk to him about it one day. He said he'd do something about it, but he never has.
Who do I talk to now? The guy creeps me out, so I don't want to talk to him. He's making me hate my yard, though. So I call the County Commissioner? Sheriff's Dept? City ordinance does not apply here. I need for someone to come and look at this and then decide whether or not he's being unreasonable.
Who am I gonna call?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
