What the heck! Don't U have anything better to do? Well
Last wk I had 2 nights of HELL! HUGE BonFire next door. Just kept the doors closed and my mouth shut.
The the following NITE another bigger Bon Fire and smoke in my house!
Called the fire dept and the police. I had fell asleep on the couch with my sliding door open and the people next door built another BON FIRE (not just a pit fire). They burned TRASH - the ashes were flying all over (lots of paper). These lots are less than a quarter of an acre. Very small lots and the houses very close together.
IT was 3PM the next day before I could breath. That afternoon another neighbor was in touch with me. They had confronted the offender about the fire (while the fire dept was there) and her husband missed a day of work because of the smoke.
Well it was a quiet wk and we thought because the fire dept and the police dept had been out last wk the neighbor would understand we didn't do those kinds of things around here.
Well, it started again tonight - at first the fire was like a pit fire, but after I asked them to put it out - they must have FED it trash and they GOT really loud (only about 16 ft from my bedroom).
I step out on to my screened porch and couldn't breath. I saw the fire and asked them to put it out since my screened in porch is inside of my house walls and under my roof. Only one side is screened - 2 sides are walls are bdrms and the back wall is glass windows into the living area. There are 2 skywindows on the porch area.
Well it was filled with smoke! I came inside and called the fire dept - WELL, seems like there is NOTHING I can do. I am allergic to smoke, perfume, after-shave and most deordorizers....and even though we have convenants others did NOT want to form the association - so these neighbors can do ANYTHING they want as long as there is a NO burn warning out. The neighborhood consist of 17 homes - in a closed cul-de-sac and most of us have been her for yrs. Less than 1/4 acre lots.
The fire dept told me they had NO jurisdiction and the deputies came twice and told me the same thing. Asked if there was someplace else I could go - I just looked at them - I have lived here in peace for 13 yrs & now I am supposed to go else where while the punks burn down my house and smoke it up and make loud noises until 2 P.M.
I am doing a letter for the neighbors and putting them on their door. They didn't want to form the association because they didn't want to pay dues.
There are covenants and restriction (too many) but without an association we cannot inforce them.
Well, it will be pay dues or pay for me a room away from the area everytime these KIDS burn trash and party all night! There are at least 3 unrelated people living in the house and a 7 yr old child. I think there is a 4th adult also but my house is L shaped so I don't pay much attention toward that end of the street. LOTS of cars -and the person who was affected by not being able to back out of his driveway was the ONE who demanded NO ASSOCIATION. The covenants are recorded, but certain others in the neighbohood didn't even care about the insurance & liability on the lights and fixtures
I just looked at the officers from the floor of the kitchen which was the only place away from the noise other than in the computer room...and said "I have been here for 13 yrs - just what am I supposed to do. I am 73 and and I own my home and NOW I can't live here because of SMOKE and NOISE till 3 AM in the mornings. THEY said they cannot do ANYTHING! Both the fire dept and the officers CANNOT do anything - because there is no association to enforce the covenants. WHAT a mess!
After the fire dept left - they got louder and built the fire BIGGER!
I step out and asked them to please cut the fire down - THEY laughed and laughed - so I called the police dept back, but I didn't feel it would do any good for them to go back over there as the 1st time only encited them to be more agressive. I cannot go thru this every weekend.
I can't sleep because I am coughing - takes a few hours after exposure for my lungs to clear out as it sets up the allergic ractions like certain perfumes, aftershaves and allergen do.
Yrs ago DATING was a joke and people who knew me made bets on HOW long it would take me to leave a location when certain element presented themselves.
