the point is he didnt even attempt to say its a bit late to be doing this, just straight away smaked my car before he had even said anything.
ive got a nice tin of paint stripper in the garage, hmm. nah, im not like that, i will just bill him for it. ive got a witness to say that he did the damage, so if he disputes it he will get made a fool of himself in court really.
ive been reading up on the noise issue and it appears that there is no legal limit on it at any time of the day. they work on the railway 100 metres from my house at all hours of the night making the same amount of noiseif not more than i did and he never complains about that. seen as it was a one off event there isnt anything he can do about it. unforunately he has damaged my car so there is something i can do about it.
lesson to be learned is if you have a problem about smeone doing something have a word with them first instead of flying off the handle and going mad damaging things.
for those that said they would be pissed off if people were working on cars at 10pm, well, when you were younger i bet you were doing the same thing. i dont live in a housing estate where every house is joned together, there is about 40 metres between my driveway and the start fof the neighbours property that complained. if you were at the back of my house in one of the bedrooms you cannot hear cars go past the front of the house, so im not sure how much noise he would have heard. thats the point. he is just an arsehole anyway.
another incident in recnet years with him is there is a layby or parking zne of sorts outside my house and outside his house for general parking in. we have 4 cars, one in the garage 2 on the drive and one in the layby. he has 1 car and insists on parking in the layby not n his drive. when relatives visit, they use the layby to park in like everyone would, and he asks them to move their cars as its his parking space. its nobody's parking space at all, first come first serve really, it belongs to nobody. a while back my uncle came to visit with a trailor on as he was going camping in the lakes. parked is discovery and trailor in the layby as there was no where else to park it being so big, and my neighbour asked him to move it so he could park there. my uncle being a traffic policeman politely pointed out that he had every right to park there. neighbour got snotty with him but my uncle refused to move. the next day when my uncle got in the 4x4, put his key in the ignition and started it, the neighbour was out reversing his car to take that spot again. they only have one car. whats his problem???
