Speedbird Life is short; sell and move.
Consult multiple realtors and be open about the neighbor that may be hurting your bottom line. They have experience with this and can help. I was in this situation; we estimated the "Beverly Hillbillies" next door were costing me ~$50k... I did have the luxury of a few months to action and cut that number in half at least...
NOTE: Selling with shit neighbors; real cost is unknown; how many prospects never get out of the car?

PrefontaineI thought of your thread this morning Normin. As I type and look at the surveillance cameras..
Neighbor behind me, garage door is open. He just mowed for like the 3rd time this week. Next door neighbor, their teenage son also just mowed. Both of them going at the same time is a bit like your whole house being shook by thunder in a very bad storm.
Neighbor across the street is having a garage sale. So along with the college students sending traffic up and down the street all day and night, now it’s my neighbor. All morning, clank clank, from car/truck doors being open and closed. People constantly parking in front of my house. Trampling on my lawn as they egress/ingress. Several times I wanted to turn on that zone of the sprinkler system just to get their interior wet.
And someone or another has been mowing since 8am. This will go on until 5pm or 5:30pm as the guy that lives on the other side of my house, always mows Saturday, 4pm or 5pm. He’s retired and has all week to do this shit, but both houses next to me, have this invisible rule. You can only mow on Saturdays. I mow mine, myself, during the week, 30 minutes before dusk. I’m quick, efficient and this time of year, I can go 10-11 days. Them, same shit every got damn week.
Oh and Fridays. You get off your job where you bust your ass and the job takes a lot out of you. It’s 5:30pm, or 6pm, you want to sit on your porch and have a cold damn beverage and just relax. Let the stress of the week go. Nope, Timmy the Builder at the end of the street is firing up power tools and he’ll be at that shit until 10pm. A subdivision is a damn 3 ring circus. All assholes and elbows.
You are not alone my friend. One day, we’ll get ours, living rural. At least a few acres (I have 6 and paying thru all my orifices to have the deed in the safety deposit box at the bank) and some fucking peace. My lady laughs at me all the time because I call them all heathens. Asshole neighbors. The assholes who drive a vehicle down the road and look down at their phones while doing so. People that absolutely do not have their shit together at the grocery store. Heathens. Only way I figured out to beat them was to buy land, and work my ass off to make the move happen. Wish it was cheap and it didn’t take literal years. I’ve been ready to go. Like Luke in Star Wars, I want off this got damn rock.

I've done that. We don't have an animal shelter, so I take 'em to the shelter in the next town over and claim my friend from that town asked me to transport the found animal.

SpinZoneAre any of the neighbor's dogs a Dachshund? They were bred to hunt badgers underground. Send it in after the skunk and then put it back in your neighbor's backyard.

smlsigA little bit off topic but perhaps relevant..
We have a deer problem and I ended up buying a motion activated sprinkler system that works very well.
Perhaps those of you with trespassing neighbors or their pets could be taught a lesson..

SML that is hilarious. My rural property has deer out the ass. I could see putting one of these up N/S/E/W around the property to push the Deer away. I didn’t even know they made shit like this. Bookmarking for the future. Thank you!

sleepla8er.
I had a similar situation, I stopped returning the dogs to the owner and took them to the pound.
The dogs all had tags, the pound called the dog's owner, he paid to bail them out of doggie jail. After the 3rd time paying the fine, the dogs stopped getting out of his yard.

Wow. Just wow. I have a lot of experience with abusers and that dude is an abusive asshole. Today that is called domestic violence. And he spread it, as you said, to his children, and their children. 3 generations and counting as the grandkids will grow up, have their own children, and do the same to them. This fuckhead deserves castration.
I have a lot of experience with this shit. Neighbors drive me nuts. Guy behind me, across the alley, over-mows. He is out there 2-3 days a week mowing his property, etc. He said “I’m trying to lose weight”. Yeah instead of eating right and exercising, you are gonna mow in the TX heat 2-3 times a week. Fucking brilliant.
Next to him, across the alley, it’s the opposite problem. They won’t mow until the shit is a foot high.
Neighbor next to me is solo, and a weirdo. He broke my got damn sprinkler system when he installed his fence. Cost me $1000 to fix it. I told him about it, and bitched him out, and he said he would loan me the money if it was a money issue. I am still surprised I didn’t deck him right then and there.
2 houses down is the Brady Bunch. Dad Brady and Mom Brady are narcissists. The adult male I refer to as Timmy the Builder. He’s out in the driveway running power tools every night, every weekend. You ought to see his Brady Bunch jungle gym in the backyard that he made. They think they are really something and I think they are really white trash. Timmy also likes to leave shit in the alley constantly. Toilets, HVAC parts, you name it, it’ll be out there. The problem is the city picks up from the front of the house, not the back, so his shit will sit out there for week(s). And they teach their children to scream bloody murder. You know when his kids are outside because you can hear them from inside your house.
End of the street, in the cul de sac, some Kalifornian assholes bought the house. Except they don’t live here yet, so they rent it out. Last school year it was a set of college students. This school year a different set of college students. Cars go up and down the street at all times of the day and night. Every day, every week. They throw parties and have party busses come in. The whole street will be lined with vehicles. Homeowners can’t even park in front of their own homes, which they pay sky high property tax and homeowners insurance for. I call the PD each and every time. Last time they did this two different homeowners were on the sidewalk bitching when I joined in and the PD rolled in a Burbo. Whole street was filled with vehicles. In fact there were so many they filled half of the next street over. After the LEO left, and talked to us, the punk ass renters came out, two of them. They claimed they were having a Bible study. I said to one of them, pull my other leg and it plays jingle bells. He didn’t understand. I said where is anyone’s Bible or Quran? Not one of them had one. I then explained to his dumb ass that one of the tenants in the Bible is love thy neighbor. I motioned my whole arm and hand like I was opening up door #3 on a game show. I then said “Really? This is loving thy neighbor?” One of the other ones, when he figured out I wasn’t buying any of the bullshit said “I have a Football game to go to.”
I wish it was legal to fuck people up. And this shit is why I bought rural acreage to move to. Fuck all the subdivisions. Sorry about the dogs and skunk. I’d report that mother fucker to your HOA for every got damn infraction possible. He’s made your life hell so enforce all the rules. He gets angry with you, call the PD and file a Police Report. Then give the Police Report to the HOA. He wants to fuck around, make him find out. FAFO. He is a bully, and the only thing you can do with a bully is stand up to them. If you don’t, they will bully you the entire time you around them or in close proximity. I would not be intimidated in the slightest. That dog situation is long past out of control.
I'm with you with everything except the guy cutting his grass. I cut mine 2X a week because it looks better, and it's better for the grass. I have a riding mower but I cut it with a walk behind because I do need the exercise. I'm nearly 67 and walking is great exercise, beats walking on the sidewalk. PS, I'm considerate of my neighbors as to when I do it.

vthokyIf any of you are my neighbor, I apologize now.
My mower sounds bad and looks worse.

I do try to mow quickly and get it over with, though.

Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

That’s all you have to do. Apply neighborly courtesy. He does it 3X per week and it’s completely unnecessary. His gear is loud AF, and he takes his time. Turns it into a whole thing. 5-6 hours a week is excessive. Mine is done in 30 minutes flat, once per week. Now imagine everyone else piling in on the 5-6 hours and you quickly realize it’s a shit show.
