Well, wish us luck. Tomorrow hubby is going to give the guy and his Mom the eviction notice.
Today was the last straw. Go back just a bit here, about 2 weeks ago I noticed that the gate that is at the back of his house that goes to our backyard, was pushed out a little ways from the house and a board was broken on the bottom. Hubby fixed it and also put a small piece of plywood over the whole bottom portion to help reinforce the boards. Well today the whole gate was torn off. It left a big enough hole at the bottom that my little dogs would have gotten into his yard, which in turn would have been able to get out his other gate ( because he raised it 5 inches off the ground), and ultimately could have gotten out of that area too because the new neighbor took down the chain link fence to install a wood fence and didn't bother to make sure to put anything up temporarily when they didn't finish the job last weekend. Yah, that is a whole other thing I'm a little pissed about. LOL Anyway, my hubby called the guy's Mom and told her she needs to get him out.
We had a friend of ours that has rentals and has some experience with this sort of stuff, write us up and eviction letter and hubby is going to give it to him and his Mom tomorrow. So wish us luck on having a house after he gets the letter. Who knows what he will do. All I have to say is I'm glad I have insurance on it. I have a feeling we will have to put in a claim.
You can see where hubby tried to fix it before and make it so it couldn't be pushed open, by adding that board at the bottom going against our shed. He doesn't want to actually attach it to the house because we had new siding put on and he didn't want to put holes in it. I honestly can't remember how it was held shut before that board you see.

Here is the fix for now. Once he is out we will take it all back off. With the way it is now, I will have to go the other way to mow my lawn.

Here is our driveway for the rental. Because he doesn't drive we use it for our cars. In order to get cars in and out, I would open the silver gate, pull the car out, then shut it once the my dogs were all behind it, then open the other gate. The new neighbors left it like this.

So now I have to either lock my dogs in the house or hubby has to move cars while I stay back with the dogs. I'm sure they will finish the job this up coming weekend, but they are not on my 'favorite new neighbor" list. LOL If it were me that wanted to change the fence and I didn't get the job done, I would put something up temporary. No respect I tell ya. So this is not a good sign on how they will be. Then to top it off, the board they put up are crooked. LOL
Uhhggg. I really need to move to the country and have a house in the middle of a 5 acre lot. LOL
