This is the neighbor I've posted about here previously. Last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, I had some workers installing the fence, which she had stopped previous workers from doing by calling the town inspector, who came by and gave a "stop work" order saying we had to have license and pay the town fees. It was a simple job, and my choice was to pay these handymen $450, instead of the Home Depot installer $2400. Anyway, I had a mess of old rotten fence in my yard the entire week of Thanksgiving, my week off. So...this past Friday,when the licensed fellas were installing the fence, she came out there harrassing them. I went out there to see what she was doing and she began assaulting me with verbal threats! You would think any neighbor would have been happy to see a new nice fence replacing a rotten one, but, NO! She has also threatened my pets in the past. All my other neighbors and friends said I should call the police. I was reluctant, but I did...had a major anxiety attack afterward, and couldn't breathe. I don't think the police did anything, which would be consistent with the town police. For my own safety, I've installed "dummy" security cameras, and a big red sign facing her house that says "video camera recording 24 hours." I so regret buying this house. Over the time I have lived here, she has cost me at least $10,000!
Sorry for the rant.
