They finally sold the house that was being built next to ours. The buyers are two gay men, who the builder described as “a little bitchy”. We have as yet to have met them, but it’s cool to have some gay neighbors.
Interesting to me, is that they haven’t stopped by to say high (we haven’t yet… waiting until James gets back from the wooded adventure), and already, they have put in a privacy fence that definitely separates our property.
And they put it on our side of the creek. Oh well… I guess you can’t control neighbors. Did I mention that they have 5 yappy chihuahuas? Yeah… I better not hear them barking uncontrollably like they were the first day they moved in. Oh, and another bonus, is we got the pretty side of the fence. They way I look at it, is that, we got a nice privacy fence too… and we lucked out and get the pretty side to boot!
I am sure that I will blog about my first impressions…. so stay tuned! Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, I am a little hung over after hitting Marys with the boys last night… one too many beers I tell you!
Finally, a random bit of good advice: Don’t eat potato chips when you are drunk… the roof of my mouth is shredded!!!
Many places have rules about the direction the fence has to face. Hopefully the neighbors will turn out fun.
Not completely, but if the fence was built on your property then you can have them take it down.
Fingers crossed they’re good neighbors. The place upstairs from mine is for sale and I fear for the worst.
Legally, if they keep it there for a certain number of years, the property can become theirs. It’s similar to squatters law. I don’t know Ga. law on this at all, but you could possibly lose some footage if they don’t move it. This would lower your property value. You can offer to sell the land to them.
But, if you are pro-illegal immigration then you wont mind.
Well, I am pretty sure it is on their property line, so no worries, I guess.
Also, Bugboy:
WTF?
Twenty-one years is the time period for adverse possession in Georgia. Your neighbor makes use of your real estate for that time limit without warnings or cautions from you or you performing some type of act showing ownership, winds up ceding the title to the land over to the possessor.
But the view of a creek is something I’d hate to lose. And, too, you do have the good side of the fence. Aesthetics count, you know.
