What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

Nothin' says "neighborhood" like a good spite fence.

Especially when they aren't there to see it go up!

 

[SlingLow]

Watched the crew install a 6'-0" fence between me and my next door A-hole neighbor at our palatial NH estate. They'll finish up the installation tomorrow. This is something that I didn't want to do, but last year when we explained to them where the property line was, the hot-headed heavy-drinking husband wigged out and said some nasty things to us that he shouldn't have. All we wanted them to do was to politely tell them to respect the property line, but the A-hole husband brought it upon himself. The fence is on the far end of our property, so it doesn't bother us at all, but it's about 10' from his guest house. Now, there will be no more cutting down our blueberry bushes (so they can have an increased view), parking their cars and setting up a a horseshoe pit, dumping their yard waste and having their dogs crap on our property.

File under: Being an A-hole neighbor has consequences.

Personally,I'd love to be a fly on the wall to be able to hear what they say when they eventually come up and see it.

I have a buddy who owns a fencing company. He says if it wasn't for dogs and asshole neighbors, he wouldn't have a job.

Don't those 301's have about 30 small speakers aimed to reflect of every possible surface?

Could get pricey to re-foam them.

You are thinking of the 901. The early Bose 301 has just one woofer, a port and a tweeter that is mounted 45 degrees with an adjustable paddle to direct the highs. Great speakers!

I have 4 901's got them in the early 80s, never saw a need to replace them!

Yeah I helped a buddy build a "neighborly" fence a few years ago. Cost him about 5 grand. Two years later he sold(the neighbor) and packed up and moved away. George tore down the fence soon after the sold sign went up.

Pulled the rods and pistons out of the hemi, from the Shadowoods SS/A 68 `cuda. Seeing some cool/old-school hemi technology.

Quick once over before a guy comes to look at them. They need a new home. Yugoslavia airforce UTVA 66-V51's. They are the two lowest time birds in the fleet.

The Yugo of planes?

The Yugo of planes?

Na, these things are built like tanks. 340 hp supercharged Lycoming, 8' diameter Hartwell props. Hard points in the wing to carry a 10 rack of rockets, a machine gun or 60kg of napalm.

 

[Richard Cranium]

With 340 hp and the three blade prop, it should take off like this …..

In other words, good for deer or duck hunting.

...or fishing...if you like fried fish.

Interesting looking aircraft. Any back story on these @dadsbee ?

Group of us bought 20 of them in '98 from the Yugoslav airforce. We got 18 out of the country before the war in the Balkans started and then NATO bombed the airport March of '99 and we lost the last 2 aircraft. #17 and #18 had been loaded onto the train a few days before and made it here. Fun aircraft to fly, the rear glass/turtle deck opens so you can put stretchers in up the right side. Unfortunately both of mine have been neglected since about 2006 and need someone to love them back into the air. I just never find the time...

"Good fences make good neighbours"

Very true, and it looks good from my house.

Ha! You only put it up on that little piece?? I thought it went all down the property line.

It’s still 100 feet long. It was stopped there because any further gets into a wet mushy gully.

Wow. Sure doesn't look 100 feet long. That's like 50 washing machines!

I've owned many homes and the first and most important thing you can do is to set some ground rules. This is the line and while you can wonder over, take back what you brought with you on you wondering walk. I have learned and told many, the view may be nice, but if you don't own it, it's not yours. They immediately know where I'm going. I'm the friendliness guy in the world, till you push my buttons. You did the right thing and he can do whatever he likes. He's done and any further moves on his behalf would be met with that letter from my mouth piece.

The perfect plane to beef up that troublesome Neighborhood Watch program!
