Krip 2 #76 January 16, 2014 LuckyMcSwervyThat is a very sad story. Was the cause ever revealed? Sort of. They determined the fire started between the kitchen and eating area, but when the inspectors cant find the usual causes they default to a electrical problem either behind the sheet rock or under the floor joists. For further info google Fox island fire. I'm having a challenging situation since my two mcnasty neighbors have no problem parking the their overflow guest cars one our one lane road which cuts off our access to the ambulance service. Met with the fire chief with my emails from one Mcnasty showing he has done this four times in the past. Urged the fire chief to be pro active rather than reactive. He declined. Call us the next time it happens and we'll show up. Both my wife and I have had ambulance rides in the past, cardiac problems, OLD etc. The chief wasn't taking any notes, declined to send me a CC if they do anything to the make the route more accessible. When my wife had the cardiac event the fire truck had to stay at the bottom of the hill and everyone had to pile into the ambulance. Will document our meeting with the fire chief, info supplied emails from Mcnasty , Platt map, and what I recall he said send it registered mail return receipt requested. And give him a opportunity to correct any errors. When we tried to call the chief his gate keeper gave us the standard answer sorry he's in a meeting. Told her we would be there in 15 minutes and expect the chief to be there. He met us at the door with one of his captains. We all know what happened at the GW bridge. The governor had no knowledge. His staff let him down. This is how its done folks, The fire chief thinks he can BS a retiree federal employee. We were exposed to BS for 25 years and have developed a 6th sense. Next stop the Board of commissioners, in a public meeting after we do or don't get a response to our letter to the fire chief. R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcSwervy 0 #77 January 16, 2014 I'm really sorry you're going through this. Sometimes it seems like fighting the system, a neighbor or anything really takes a lot of energy and time that could be better spent elsewhere. There's a documented medical response to your home that should justify some action on the town's part. I really hope you prevail in the meeting. Bad neighbors are a living hell.Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a coalition of Mcnastys the alpha bully spread rumors and gossip. Nothing I can do about it except after 15 yrs we have the dumb one trained to use email mailThe trouble maker never puts anything in writing lets lettuce head do it and quote Mr Trouble. The next time the shit hits the fan, guess who's going to get blamed the dumb one. Mr Trouble has plausible deniability. Almost worth getting a cell phone with a camera. But I'm still holding out. I Know when Mr trouble trys to talk to me he doesn't have anything good to say so I just don't stop. or roll down my window. Working for the feds with the same a holes every day until they die, helps develop a thick skin.R. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
