    LEGAL ways to annoy neighbours

    My sis has some real *****s for neighbours.

    After being allowed access to sis's land to build a retaining wall, they did many things differently to what the promised including putting a big concrete footing in sis's yard so they ca';t plant any trees, they didn;t put a a promised colorbond fence and can see direct into her bedroom from their entertaining area so whe has to keep window shut all the time. They are refusing mediation etc etc and the bloke is VERY intimidating toward her.

    So what I would like input on is:

    Who can think of creative and LEGAL ways she can annoy the living heck out of her neighbours ?

    Apparently it would take a jackhammer / backhoe coz it's HUGE.

    Besides that would be a BIG problem for them if the retaining wall collapsed coz obviously her place is downhill from theirs.

    I think it may be time to blood and bone the backyard, once a week for the next six months.

    Did she get anything in writing from them to specify how it would look, what their obligations are et al?
    Was the work Council/Surveyor/Building Engineer approved?

    How about YOU get changed in your sisters bedroom ( leave the curtains open) the next time the neighbours are entertaining. There will be a fence up quick smart .

    OR

    your sister starts having "nightmares" at 3:00AM - screaming out stuff like "They can see me, they can see me......mumble mumble mumble" every night till the fence is up


    Will take dedication, and comitment, but could be lots of fun he he he.

    Paint the roof of your sis's house hot pink

    There is no law stating your sister cannot get a male stripper to walk around nude in her own house.

    Get your sister to stut about in the nude next time they have a BBQ.

    There is little more annoying than when a close (proximity) neighbour takes up a new musical instrument.

    Some suggestions..... drums, violin, saxophone, electric guitar.

    All sound pretty awful when being played badly.

    I'd have a close look at the local fencing act, if there was an agreement, even if only verbal, there may be things which she can do. talk to a solicitor

    Why not just get some shadecloth and staple it along the fence?
