i just read the article again and find no mention of sueing. they have complained about him not building his house to code and he even admits his house was a foot higher than what is allowed. there are other issues with his house, his excavating, but i don't see the neighbor's complaints as BS.

Exactly. If the excavating is a concern, and a survey has already been done, they should not be complaining. If the house is a frigging foot over, I would not complain (and if he is right about the house settling below that, then stfu).

to be a true middle finger he needs to add an opposable joint (thumb :D)

the middle of 1 and 4 is 2.5, and that hand certainly doesn't have a 2.5th finger :p

He didn't say the house was going to settle, he said that one the soil is laid around the house, the height of the house over the surrounding ground will be less.

My mistake. As long as that falls within the code, who cares?

If that neighbor was so worried about his view of the moutains then he should have bought that lot. I think it's funny.

I would normally side with the guy. THe soil has been tested before, the neighbors are being babies.

But the guy's action is uncalled for. He is clearly immature and incapable of reason. What a horrible attitude. How old is he??? I hope the neighbors win in the end and stop him from doing anything.

After receiving the finger there is no way for the neighbors to "win". The owner had his say and wants that thing off his house.
