My stinkin neighbor II

[Van]

No not about some big guy cutting wood !!!

But across my street there is a HUGE 3-family house which is occupied by only a couple of "guys". (say no more).

Now you have to picture my street in Quincy which is extremely narrow, short, curved and downhill on either side, with mostly 2 family homes (like mine). So needless to say parking is an issue.

Anyway this neighbor decided to have his drive repaved. They did the job in two days, drive, sidewalk, and a huge parking area behind the house. That was 3 weeks ago tomorrow!!! He still has it roped off. Roped off for who though ?? He only has one minivan, and nonone else goes in his drive.

The rub is he parks in front of his driveway entrance which is right across from my driveway. Making it very very difficult for us to get out. I had to do a 7 point turn yesterday to get out. A couple of mornings I got up real early to go fishing I "accidently" broke the caution tape and knocked down the stick holding it hoping he would get the message that he is in the way of our getting in and out.

Plus the real kicker is I can't really say anything to him as he and his "partner" are deaf. Last week their car alarm went off at 11 at night while they were standing on the sidewalk right next to it. Guess what,,,,,they didn't know it was screaming cause they didn't hear it !!!!! Woke up the whole neighbor hood. Houses here are a full 20 feet apart. I can't yell out my window at them they won't hear me....SO the alarm keeps going for 5 minutes till he noticed the lights flashing.

He has seen me struggling to exit my dirveway but does not seem to get the message. He can park further down and it wont be a problem, but NOOOO...he parks right across from us.

Anyway, it seems to me that 3 weeks for an asphault drive is way way too long to wait. and he only has 1 vehicle so he could park it in different spots each day to not sink in if that would even happen at this point. Calling the cops is a bad idea, because technically there is no overnight parking in Quincy without a permit. But they usually don't bother anyone, there are cars everywhere on streets.

All I can think of doing is taking the spots on either side of his driveway with my vehicles, leaving my dirveway empty. But that is a burden on my other "nice" neighbors. Plus the misses does not want to aggravat him..... Yea but he is aggravting us !!!!!!!!!!

Thats my grump for today. The tape is still there this morning. I think the paving company told him 3 days, and he lip read 3 weeks, or maybe 3 months !!!!!
I think he is a royal idiot....and could care less about anyone else.
