True or not, this is funny.

This is a true story, it happened in Utah and was on the news!

A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a
beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased

the lot below his house and built.

Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances

would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city

to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance. Mark and his

new neighbor had some great arguments about this as you can imagine

- not great feelings. The new neighbor had to drop the roof line -

no doubt at great expense.

Recently, Mark Easton called the city and informed them that his new
neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark didn't
like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate.

When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what they
found... Look at the pics!

New House Design Either Cactus Or Middle Finger

(CBS) RIVERTON, Utah A vent cover on the side of a house looks like it might be a rude hand gesture. Then again, it might be a cactus, abstract art-style. It depends if you're the owner or a neighbor.

"Anyone in their right mind would only interpret that as an obscene gesture," said neighbor Stan Torgersen, who lives directly behind the home. "This kind of shows the attitude that we've been dealing with all along."

Torgersen sees it as a hand giving the finger, visible from all his back windows.

"It speaks for itself, really," said the home's builder, Darren Wood. "It's such beautiful art. It's a cactus."

The acrimony began last fall, when Wood's hill lot was excavated.

Torgersen was worried that the excavation might damage his foundation, so he and another neighbor asked the city to intervene.

Riverton officials ordered a soil test, something Wood said had been done by the previous owner. A new exam, he said, would delay the project by four months and cost him $3,000.

More recently, the Torgersens and another neighbor complained to the city that the home exceeded the height allowed by code.

"We used to have a view of the mountains," Janet Torgersen told The Salt Lake Tribune. "He didn't have to take everyone's view."

Wood conceded the house might be over the limit by a little more than a foot. But once the house is finished, and the soil and landscaping laid out, he believes it will be within regulations.

Plus, he added, the city approved the house plan.

"I think the bottom line is harassment," Wood said of his neighbors' grievances. "They will find another issue to complain about."

The Togersens have again turned to Riverton's government to deal with the vent covering.

Janet Torgersen said she showed photos to City Manager Lance Blackwood and others at City Hall.

Wood told the Tribune he might be willing to change the vent cover — "if it's offensive to them as they have been to me. I'm not above an apology" from neighbors.
