Neighbors out in backyard last night 1:30 am

I live in a community that is gated so we all pretty much know they goings on in our neighborhood. Some of my neighbors have been known to sit out in their backyard area as most of us have pools pretty late in the evening. I usually don't mind it much at all as i have never heard music being played or loud talking or anything such as that. As for if I would have gone out with the trash in a nightgown my neighbors wouldn't have thought nothing of it as I am probably considered the weird one anyway. :)

It's a good thing you don't live near my son. He has his fire pit going most nights and that fire is pretty big. None of his neighbors seem to mind. On the other side of his back fence, those people are in the pool till all hours and a couple of houses down, they seem to party on their patio every other day. A cop lives across the street, but he never says a word. Folks having fun down the shore without bothering to go out to the beach.

Interesting response.

What I said was not necessarily a negative comment. I don't want some crazed individual thinking I am just what they’ve been looking for their entire lives. Thus filled with unrequited love; they shower me with wanted attention; when they are Destined to live the reminder of their lives Without me or another glimpse of me in my nightie.

Thus the flannel bathrobe.
 
They started yesterday just after 9 am and it was almost a 12 hour party. Maybe they were celebrating getting Sea-doos which are now parked on a trailer in their yard. To make room for them, they had to put all their patio furniture almost up against my fence.

I can relate about the fence. Decades ago, I built my own, by myself, did everything, looking back it seems impossible, but my story is when my neighbors on my left used it for one side of their clothesline, I almost went beserk! I guess I didn't trust my own work and it's ability to stay standing, but I can report that now, decades later, my fence, according to a friend in that neighborhood, is Still Standing. Wow! Magnificent work!

Brings back memories, our houses were divided by a change link fence and we didn’t want to see some of the stuff that went on other there so we built a wooden fence in front of it. The neighbor hangs his kids clothes to dry on the fence and those clothes fall down between the fences.

We always had to remove boards so we could retrieve his kids clothes. Even though they made more money than us, and we didn't get along I finally bought them a clothesline as a Xmas present. 😂

Just wait til wintertime and you have to listen to them zipping around on the Skidoos!!!

(figure someone would ask: they're a brand of snowmobiles)
 
Last night they had a wing-ding (this is the property on the other side of me from where the garage sale is happening). Started a little after 3 pm. Shouting, loud laughing, that even got to singing a little bit, dogs barking, fire going in the burner and now they have some kind of light that keeps changing color. All they needed was a boom box. The "party" was still going on at 11:30 pm, but has stopped by 2 am. There are beverage cans all over the place and now they have the sea-doos backed up to the fence - probably didn't want to damage them when they started the burner. The sea-doos have been there now for weeks; they never take them anywhere. Maybe the sea-doos are just something to gather around and have a party. These people are a constant puzzle to me.

I understand that completely! We build our own 6 feet panel fencing ourselves too... it's an expensive hard job, and both neighbours either side think it's fine to just lean anything against them, so that ultimately the fences start to bow.. it drives me insane. I've spoken to them both and it stops for a while and we replace the panels , but it doesn't last long before they're at it again.. . This time I lost it with the neighbour on the right (who have been here as long as I have, ( the house on the left is a transient rental - no-one stays longer than 5 years) and told them they'd have to pay to replace the Fence panels.. it took them a year and lots of empty promises but finally last week they got someone to come and replace 6 panels.. first time ever!

ETA...just to add the fence on both the right and left are 20 panels long..very heavy expensive panels that as I said before we install ourselves, and more annoyingly only 5 years old..

I can relate to the junk leaning on a wood fence, i have a semi private wood fence all around the back yard, neighbours on the south side, stack all sorts of stuff against the fence, they didn't pay for their side.
Was hoping to stain the fence this year, they were stacking, i asked if any of this stuff could be moved when i go to staining.......answer was.....there's room there.....their version of room was, a few inches, can't work on that side unless stuff is moved.

Happy there is a fence so i don't have to look at the mess and junk.
 
I have neighbors who are out in their yard until 3:30am - 4am every Saturday night, sitting around the firepit talking loudly. As the night goes on and the beer flows freely, they sing, shout, chant drinking songs and sometimes shoot off fireworks. Another neighbor has called the police, with no results. Trying to talk to them (when they were sober) provoked a rude response. Their home is not a part of our condo complex, so no help from the HOA.

I'd be happy if they just sat and talked...
 
Can't imagine living in town, without a fence, in the backyard, not the front......i'm not anti social, just like privacy.
My deck is high, so i do have views, neighbour on my south side, has a high deck as well, just try to conduct privacy.
These are the neighbours that have the junk place, so their view is there for all to see.
