I can empathize. The entitled individual (from out of state) that has the property on the other side of the highway from me put up three industrial flood lights on motion detectors several years ago. They light the area up like we're in Vegas and blind oncoming traffic at night. Tractor trailers going by set off the main light high up on the front of his house (the one somewhat angled towards my house) so the dammed things are always coming on even when they aren't home. It's especially annoying during the winter with no leaves and the reflection off the snow. There is no need for those lights and despite several people telling him they are annoying, a threat to traffic at night, and against the town ordinance, he's too entitled to do anything to change. He's too lazy to even turn them off when he goes inside and just leaves them going until the timers automatically turn them off. I mean if you're scared to live in the woods, go back to the city. Rant over.
I had the same thought! No doubt there's cameras, too, so you'd have to plot your attack angles carefully. All in jest, of course.
Sad, but there are plenty of folks around like that. I definitely would first go to the township to see if they could or would do something.
At this point, it's not worth getting into a war with a neighbor. He's already filed a complaint against one neighbor who was shooting on his own property (cops showed up, took all that guy's guns, and he had to go to court to get them back a year later). This guy has flat out stated he likes pushing people's buttons and likes to purposefully antagonize people to get his kicks. Sucks about the lights but at this point in life, it's not worth the drama of neighbor wars.
At least some good firewood for you. If they are going further down the road, likely some neighbors that have no use for the wood. As to the comments above about firewood chunks on State land. Sometimes it’s hard to get anyone that feels able to give permission , I’m talking a few odds & ends, not a commercial log pile . Anyway, there’s a bike trail parking lot not far from me, County property. There were some oak chunks there for 6 months, they mowed around them. It was about 1/3, to 1/2 of a pickup truck load, not a lot, but very prime. I waited until in the Fall, bad weather, weekday, lot empty. I went, cut, loaded & left. The next likely option is it would rot in place. Last I looked there was a touch left, may investigate.
Wow, that was quick. Around here you would be looking at those pink x's for months. Nice equipment those guys had. The big question is, is it all CSS yet?
