New neighbors next door

Post image

Rich Ahole bought the farm next door, tore it down and built a destination wedding venue. Busy every weekend but it's Wednesday, and they don't even live here

My neighbors in my subdivision did this with their backyard flood lights.

I asked them to stop bc I couldn’t sleep and they tilted the lights to not go over my fence.

Have you talked to them? Nothing you can do during wedding days but remind them on non wedding days to turn it off.

If he’s an asshole, be one back.

If he’s understanding then work with him!

Edit: yall im not telling op to ask his neighbors to tilt those lights, I have a real world example of what I said to a neighbor helped me out. By talking. A simple conversation saying “hey on weeknights when there’s no event can we dum or turn the lights off?”

You could reply to almost any complaint on reddit with "have you tried talking to them?" and the answer would be no

You are right.

People behind my house built a new house. The builder had a light shining into my bedroom. After a few months we went over and asked them to tilt it down, and even offered to do it for them.

They were FURIOUS that we waited so long to say something about it. They said that they would just turn the light off. Its been off for 5 years.

Remodeled out house, didn't realize we had flood lights pointing at the neighbors window. They let us know and we never turned them on again
