neighbors & garages

Neighbors sound like busy body assholes. That being said I am skeptical about his garage only for "friends".

NIMBY's at their finest. Guy has a piece of property, wants to build himself a shop, but neighbors don't like it. If he's not running a business, and they have no proof he's running a business, then leave him alone.

I'd imagine if I had a shop like that, pretty much all my friends would stop working on their crud at home and their projects would magically start appearing at my shop.

What seems crazy is, its obvious they live out in the sticks. I cant imagine the a bunch of guys working on their cars would make more noise then farmer joe running his tractor or a chainsaw.

These ladies seem to be doing it just to be a bitch to the guy. On the other hand, who knows, the dudes could be getting blasted at 3am and doing burnouts in their camaros outside their house.
 
I read the real complaint is about the size of the structure and the fact that the garage was not built to zoning code. :dunno

I would lose my shit. Glad I've never had neighbors like this.

Damn. I would too.

My situation right now being in a new townhouse community with a HOA says I can't do any auto repair of any kind in my garage. I'm pretty sure that even washing your car in the "driveway" is pretty frowned upon too. Fortunately, I work for a car dealership and just do anything like that there.

But if I were in this guy's situation, living out in some rural area, yeah I'd love to have a big ass personal shop at home. I wouldn't go full asshole and run air hammers and "tune" big block muscle cars with straight pipes at 11pm. But if I had fuckwit neighbors like that, I'd damn sure do that stuff all during the day.

And if they somehow succeeded in shutting my garage down...well, then I think I'll just start my quest to have the most perfectly manicured yard on the block. Maybe even have a putting green. And anyone that knows golf, knows that you've gotta mow those every day. Take the muffler out of the lawnmower, and make sure...every...single...blade of grass gets cut. Then the weed whacker, gas powered of course, to get stuff the giant riding mower can't. Then the grand finale. And everyone's fucking favorite. The gas powered leaf blower. Oh yes. It'd be glorious my friends. I was fucking built for neighbor feuds.

Big props to the guy for still wanting to wrench despite what looks like him being in a wheelchair.

Sure looks like a commercial garage whether he gets paid for work or not work is still being done there. If guys are able to work on their car for free it would be even more traffic than then bringing it to another garage where you'd have to pay. Dude is dealing in cash.

Busy body old broads though

My new place is on a couple acres in an area zoned agricultural. I plan on building a shop like that.

If it caused the same amount of chaos to have aid shop though I'd just have to find a new hobby.

I was thinking pig farming.

I think there's a lot of info we dont know. Is this bringing a ton of traffic to the area at weird hours? Is it adding a bunca noise? That could tick me off.

Can appreciate people with enough property to run a personal business. No problem if the guy charged money. Pretty common occurrence people run a small operation on the side. From Taxidermy to Day Care, Boarding animals to Auto Detailing, Feed and Grain sales to Bakeries. Its all good no problem if its not causing harm in the neighborhood.

Scanned through the court summary and it sounds like a spat between neighbors. The guy with the garage subdivided his land to finance the shop. The people who built their house there now share a driveway and got pissed because of some damage. From there it escalated. Sounds like his neighbors are dicks, but at the same time, they probably didn't expect he was going to put up a mega garage at the end of their shared driveway

thats a lot of effort to match their assholeness.

Oh no. We're just scratching the surface. The garden regimen would only be stage 1. If I got to DEFCON 3 in a neighbor feud, then I'd have to start to worry about stuff like do I still have time to have a real job and continue screwing with these trifiling ass bitches, because all in for me would be where I make their life hell 24/7. And I'd hire people so we could work in shifts. Do shit like run massive electrical loads in an effort to brown out the whole block, have everyone I park their cars on the street and move them around every couple days to keep it legal, constantly buy small stuff like kleenex on Amazon Prime Now just to keep a steady flow of delivery trucks coming though the streets, oh and of course...livestream all of it in 1080p on cable modem so it sucks all the bandwidth for the neighborhood as well.

Good luck with the civil restraining order. bro.
