Go buy one of those projectors that project Christmas lights and images onto his house. Then change out the filter for one of a giant pink dildo. I'm sure you can find one on Amazon.

He's right. I just looked and Amazon does indeed carry a giant pink dildo.

If he doesn't have security cameras, go out and buy a kilo or two of meth. You know whatever you can afford. When he's not home, stash it in his garage. Tip off the cops.

The play is to break into his car and steal his stereo.... he'll call the cops and they will discover the drugs you planted in the vehicle.
Then you can bang his wife while he's in prison.
Win, win!

If he won't listen to reason, I'd put spotlights up on my side, double his lumens, and shine them directly at his windows.

I haven't had the time to read after page 2, but you have to file suit. Damn the money. It's worth it. Sue his ass super hard, make a big ducking stink and intimidate him into just changing the lights. Be prepared to actually go all the way if he doesn't concede. Truly being willing for scorched earth is the only way to ensure you win.

Depending on the size of the house he might need a giant black dildo...

My in-laws went through a similar situation. They live on 5 acres outside of Lufkin city limits. They removed the absolute minimum amount of trees to get their log home built. It was a beautiful wooded experience. The lot next to them went unsold for a long time, which they regret not buying.

A retired police office eventually bought the lot. First thing he did was clear cut it. Then he attempted to surround the entire lot with a barb wire fence. My in-laws voiced opposition to that so he put a wood rail fence on their side. He also placed multiple floodlights on tall poles to light up his entire yard. I'm not kidding, the place looks like a football stadium at night. They complained about that as well, but all he did was adjust the lights a little away from them. Even so, it has totally ruined my in-laws "live in the woods" vibe.

And why did he do all of that, you ask? He's paranoid about being robbed. No joke.


This made me sad for your inlaws. Damn.

I am sure you would be able to recommend a 'friend' who can help him out with navigating the legal system for a reasonable hourly rate.

Depending on the size, you may get a lawyer cheaper than you can find a big black dildo...

Quote:

A nuisance is a condition that substantially interferes with the use and enjoyment of land by causing unreasonable discomfort or annoyance to persons of ordinary sensibilities attempting to use and enjoy it. Barnes v. Mathis, 353 S.W.3d 760, 763 (Tex. 2011). Actionable nuisance may fall into one of three categories: negligent invasion of another's interests; intentional invasion of another's interests; or other conduct, culpable because abnormal and out of place in its surroundings, that invades another's interests. City of Tyler v. Likes, 962 S.W.2d 489, 503 (Tex. 1997). Nuisance is a field of tort liability, a kind of damage done, rather than any particular type of conduct. Id. at 504. A nuisance can occur in one of three ways: (1) by physical harm to property; (2) by physical harm to a person on his or her property, such as an assault on his or her senses or by other personal injury; or (3) by emotional harm to a person from the deprivation of the enjoyment of his or her property, such as fear, apprehension, offense, or loss of peace of mind. Tex. Union Pac. Res. Co. v. Cooper, 109 S.W.3d 557, 560 (Tex. App.Tyler 2003, pet. denied) (op. on reh'g). Noise and glaring light can be a nuisance. See GTE Mobilnet of S. Tex. Ltd. P'shp. v. Pascouet, 61 S.W.3d 599, 615 (Tex. App.Houston [14th Dist.] 2001, pet. denied).
what's the source doc for this? how does it apply to a Houston ordinance (if any)?

thanks-

Hope it isn't the neighbor I know. Must be awful big fing light with those lots to bother you.

Since I know your wife is an Aggie I cannot support the idea of you sleeping with the neighbors wife after getting him arrested. But could support getting him arrested.

You probably already did, but ask him to put them on a motion sensor?

Build a really big privacy fence? Move back to the city?

Holy **** Absolute, it is exactly that neighbor. I just happened to see the link to this thread from Schwack Schwack's family land debacle. I completely forgot about this. It seems his panel lights could not handle the wind out here more than a couple months. Man made hail stones may or may not have also been involved...

I don't recall this thread the first time it came up. But since then, I had a neighbor buy a place near our farm, and put up a bunch of horse pens (he buys/sells roping horses). Then he put up enough lights for a small high school stadium. The nearest residence, a friend of mine, complains he can't go outside and pee at night any more, because the lights are too bright, a mile and a quarter away.

It amazes me when people move to the country, and immediately try to turn it into the city. And as said above, darkness is a better deterrent than daylight-level lighting. You'd think constant light would be harmful to his horses, too.

I met the guy once, about a property line issue. He wasn't a total jerk, but he was much less friendly than most people are in the Panhandle. Small issue, concerned a culvert I was considering, but later decided against.

Later, I found out he had not one, but two murder-for-hire schemes directed against him by a jealous husband. Husband has since died, but it would explain the paranoia and lack of openness.

Oh, and when he bought the place, he was filmed for "House Hunters" on HGTV..

I missed this post the first time but I just read it start to finish. Someone above posted about outdoor lights attracting bugs etc. First come the little annoying bugs, then come scorpions and spiders. It only gets worse from there. Turn your outdoor lights off. They don't do anything for security anyway.

City Come To Country people ruin everything.

Our neighborhood is 3/4 to acre lots. Both of my neighbors light up the sky. We're pitch dark. One neighbor I mentioned the lights and the two on our side haven't been on since.

We love those neighbors.

The other side just shuddered in fear at the thought of turning off the lights that shine in the kids bedrooms. They have removed almost all trees and plants and it's a barren landscape. Security. A month ago they added under eave lighting. During the winter storm they ran a generator just for the lights at night. The lights were a priority for them.

Reasoning is lost on them out of baseless fear. You have to cross a bridge to get into our neighborhood. One way in and out. Haven't had a recorded crime in forever. Even criminals are smart enough to know you need multiple avenues of escape.

I don't trim the lugustrums or red tip fotinas on that side of the house and it helps.

These are the same people that called the police when some kids were wrapping our house. The cop was super nice and apologized to us for having bad neighbors.

It would suck to live in fear all the time.

People who know him, tell me he's a good guy. Didn't appear that way to me.

But when I learned the back story, later, I understood his attitude and suspicious nature.

My neighbor let me know that when we replaced one of our two floods on his side of my house, we inadvertently aimed it into his yard. He politely asked me if I would mind if he climbed up and re-adjuated them using my ladder that was nearby. I held the ladder for him while he got them pointed exactly where he wanted them to be. He's a great neighbor and I had no problem whatsoever with his request. I wish your neighbor got along like we do.

My Bucket List "Screw the Neighbors" item, has to be the Chrysler Victory Siren.

A hemi V-8 powered nuclear attack siren.

'MURICA!

Quote:

The device was also now even louder, rated at 138 dB at 100 feet.

The Chrysler Air Raid Siren remains the loudest siren ever produced. Its remarkable specifications include a compressor discharge volume of 2,600 cubic feet per minute at 7 psi and a residential coverage area of approximately 16 square miles. In comparison, the electric sirens commonly used today for tornado and tsunami warnings can alert about four square miles.
