I’m sure seeing the bills and realizing the impact they had, (rather than thinking she was doing alright with her electric bill), would have impacted her heat and air use.

The house was magically heated 😜

My daughter goes there. I know that sometimes horriblle things just happen, but I'm struggling to understand how, with a building full of trained people, so close to a hospital, could the kid have gone for more than half an hour without oxygen. I hope that we get some more info on the timeline.

It doesn't matter if they're friendly or not. IF It's on your property, Remove it. Let the burden of proof fall on them. Have your papers in your hand when the police are called, they will walk away and your neighbor will have to go to court.

My boyfriend is an attorney, and has handled these exact types of cases. I feel there's information you're leaving out if you've been turned away by 4 law firms saying it's not worth pursuing (I'd share his firm's info, but they're exceedingly busy at the moment).

I use shaheen for a lot of my closings and that seems very bizarre.

Maybe it varies state to state, but when I lived in NY I had a neighbor file a formal complaint with the city regarding a garden shed built within 5 feet of his property line. The city took over from there and issued a cure notice. I would tend to think this would be the civil step before litigation, but maybe Richmond is different. For something like that it shouldn’t be necessary to begin with an attorney.

Shaheen did my mortgage closing, and they have provided guidance since on a few boundary issues. Did they provide a reason why this wasn’t worth pursuing?

Tear 8t down. Problem solved.

How big is your property? Standard city/suburban neighborhood, or are we talking acres here?

You're commenting this in a thread about a child dying. Reddit moment.

That’s what I was paying in Alexandra. The amenities were angry neighbors, German cockroaches and an aggressive door with a broken pnuematic closer. The door slammed close on my dogs tail, and we had to get it partially amputated.

It is, and was used.

Do the pinholes come pre-poked, or do I have to do that myself?

Real estate lawyers should be the ones who can help you the most. I don't know the law in Virginia about this, but when something similar happened to my father, he told the neighbor to move it or he would demand rent for the use of his property.

How dare you suggest talking to your neighbors?! Don’t you know, people here hate that. They’ll suggest calling cops before speaking to neighbors almost every time.

I'm laughing so fucking hard hahaha this is something Michael Scott would do

The state parks are pretty underrated imo. Not all of them are winners but some of them are really great. Chesapeake bay is beautiful too. Aside from that. The sheer amount of history in the state is fantastic. No matter where you are, it’s hard to be too far from some great historic site.

I know you said the neighbor isn't friendly, but did you talk to them?

That sounds like a fun way to tourist.

I mean you could certainly try but I don’t think going ham on a choking persons windpipe is gonna help too much lol

I would give him one chance to either remove himself, or you remove it without damaging if possible, and place it back onto his own property.

Either way, set up some sort of property marker so he doesn't make that mistake again

Take “your” fence down and let him contact law enforcement to try to prove you wrong.

I don’t know what went wrong. I kept throat punching him, but it didn’t seem to help!
