Time to tell of our nasty neighbour. I don't know that it would be right to name him on here, so I will just use his initials of GM. He doesn't even actually live here, but owns a section in behind our houses and his drive (to be) runs down below past the bottom of our sections.
Okay so the story begins about six months ago when GM showed up for the first time and started to dig his driveway below our sections. Our neighbour in front wasn't happy as he was trying to sell our house. Our neighbour behind was concerned as when they had leveled off the bottom of their section they had had to dig out and refill and get permits etc, so we all rang the council just to find out what the deal was. Apparantly GM had not bothered to get any permits, so the council was up here quick smart to put a stop work on him. War begins. He blames us for losing him money (forget the fact that if he had have gone down the right channels and got a permit at the beginning there would have been no problem). Anyway over the last six months he has had a run in with every neighbour down our cul-de-sac and also the neighbours actually behind his section (approx 12 neighbours in total + a few real estate agents trying to sell houses in the area). He is a strange and scary man! At one point near the beginning he knocked on my door while Daryl was out and started ranting and raving which resulted in me laying a police complaint the next day (i'm sorry, but i am not taking his bullying lying down).
As it turns out the story gets even better. It turns out that when the council sold him the land part of it was also ownership of our right of way. He cannot stop us from getting to our properties, but other than that he thinks he can run our little street. As this is a long story i will keep that chapter for part two.
