April,
We had the neighbors from hell. About 4 years after we bought our house, the old man that lived next door, died. We talked about buying it, when it went up for sale but my husband said "it would probably suck to own the house next door to you" well the house sat for a few months then people started coming in and "fixing" it He was actually the only one we liked. To make a long (very long) story short, and a paint job on my brand new Grand Prix, that we ended up paying for, the special child took a rock and scratched the entire car, the younger brother told his dad that the boy did it but their mom did not belive him so they decided they did nt need to pay! They used to leave the special child home alone locked in his room, until I called the police and they went in and let him out of his room. They sold pot, they smoked pot and we could smell it in our house all the time, daily, more than twice a day. You want to smoke it, fine, but I have the right not to smell it in my home. There were guns being sold, etc... We got to the point of the mom coming to my house because I finally was sick of her leaving her kids with ther older brother, who at 14 was too busy making a baby with his girlfriend in his room, while his brother ran up and down the street naked playing with himself and just flat out not being not cared for. I told the woman to get off my porch and she would not so I helped her out and dared her to step on my property again. This went on for 7 years! My husbands sister had just bought the house next to their lake house and she told me to do the same that she did, write the landlord. So I did, I wrote them (in Kentucky) and all I said was that is they were to ever the home we would like to buy it. I had sent that letter about 4 years after they bought the home and 3 years later, they called and asked us if we were still interested. It was bad timing as about two weeks prior our little baby had passed away. My husband said he did not care and to just let them sell it. I told him no way. We ended up buying it and the people knew they were selling it but did not know who was buying it. The owners called the people and said the buyer was coming with the inspector. Then when my husband knocked on the door, she answered and said "What the hell do you want" John said I am here with my home inspector and if all goes as planned you will have 30 days to get out after closing. I wish I could have seen the look on her face! They left and did not dare trash the place because the security deposit was still in place from their lease! I loved it as I watched them drive away to be Georgia's next welfare case! We did so much work over there and as soon as we find the home we want we will rent out both of these houses! The house next door is empty. We like not having a neighbor there!
