    I was thinking of covering your wood with a pink tarp. There's plenty of colors like yellow here: Tarps - Canvas Tarps, Heavy Duty Tarps, Vinyl Tarps, Mesh Tarps, Flame Retardant Tarps

    He'll have a nice bright reminder to look at every day.

    Hey KISS, did you see the new guy named keepitsimple? I told him you already have KISS tied up. For a moment I thought he was you and then realized the last word was missing.

    I completely agree that getting "even" with a madman requires you to become one.

    Glad you tried to comply. Sorry your neighbors head is so far up "it" he can't tell night from day.

    Oh well.

    Good fences...

    Thanks kp. I actually have a privacy fence. We cut down a tree line to install it which is where all of this wood came from. The guy knew we were cutting the wood. However, in order to see this wood you must walk up my driveway (app 100 ft), look over my fence way back under the honeysuckle. BTW this neighbor liives 5 houses away... thank goodness he's not next door or across the street from me!

    Dear Lord. Unbelievable.

    We have a relative who is one of the most disagreeable people I've met... just grouchy and grumpy at anyone, especially if you are happy... and at some point I just had to start to ignore her and remind myself that it must suck to live your life so unhappy.

    What a grumpy snoop of a neighbor you have.

    He is a very unhappy man that only seems to see the dark side of everything and wants to bring people into his own miserable world. For ten years I have "humored" him to a degree. Now he is not just trying to suck people into his world but striking out. Ignoring him is the best thing but I need to stop the striking out part. I have talked with the BoH and have a police officer friend coming over to discuss his telling me that if the BoH comes to his door for any reason he will insist that they visit every house on the street. Our street is very neat and tidy but who knew that firewood needed to be 18" off the ground. Oh well it is what it is...

    By the Way, I raised the wood to 19 3/8" using concrete blocks every 4 feet. I then set treated 2x4's on edge and connected them at each 8' end with a 1x4 screwed into the boards that ran down into the block for stability, and used the metal "rick stacker" frame to bookend the whole 32 feet. Seems like I have built Fort Knox to store my firewood. I sure hope so because I don't want to do this again.

    I have filed an incident report with the police just to have documentation, and when my mom told our police officer friend about the situation, he knew who it was without her telling him. He is a problem and a well known one... but what to do to make it stop?

    Sorry that I repeated myself KISS. I'll try not to do that in the future. We do however have a neat and tidy neighborhood except for this fellas house. If the BoH wants to enlighten us otherwise.. as I said before.. bring it on! Thanks for the heads up on repeating myself though! I repeat, I'll try not to do that again! Good Luck with your like namesake. I hope he does not get you into trouble.
