| 1445359 | 2018-01-25 01:25:00 | Meanwhile, in the same town as lakewoodlady (I think), our neighbour has started letting his house out intermittently as a holiday rental... His house is angled on the section so that the outdoor deck provides a lovely view of the lake. This means that when the party stereo starts up, the speakers come out on the deck which then acts as a soundshell, angled towards our house. Grrrr... One of the regular guests talks far too loud, and he is a vile potty mouth, with every second word being "that word". Poor lad has such a limited vocabulary it appears to be his only adjective. I think it may have been a mistake to move to a holiday location, especially coinciding with the growth of AirBnB. | John H (8) | ||
| 1445360 | 2018-01-25 03:07:00 | What time and how often makes a big difference with noise. You expect to hear lawn mowers etc during the day and they are easily tuned out. Hearing a party down the road when the whole street can hear conversations, singing, and music at say 3 in the morning is a little less considerate. But if it's only once in a while that's no big deal either. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1445361 | 2018-01-25 06:41:00 | Dogs. My neighbour had a aging dog with a bit of a psychotic issue. The moment the owners drove off for the day the dog would then start barking non stop. He'd be peering through any gap in the fence watching for movement on the street. Any movement and he'd start another 30 minute volley of barking. They've since added TWO more dogs (thanks for that) :( Anyway, the other younger dogs have settled the old dog down. When he has their company he behaves and is fine. Pity though that the bigger of the younger dogs has a very big voice and has taken to reacting in a very aggressive manner to any sound or motion from me, so ultimately an aging problem of limited years has been replaced with a new dog with another decade of shitty behaviour in him/her. If the dog is too OTT I simply have to grab the garden hose and he's got the message. As for the other f-wit in the neighbourhood - fireworks, any hour of the night, any night of the year. Some at 3am not so long ago. |

But no Neighbour has a dozen+ rotting fish left out in the sun, right on the fence line. Trying to make burly or something ? Every now & then I get a big whiff of rotting flesh smell. Ive had to close my windows , making the house really hot. Lots of flies (of course) Not sure what the council regs are about this ? |

Most councils seem to consider this practice permissible to keep the flies off the bride, but the dead fish have to go indoors when the ceremony is over. |

| 1445365 | 2018-01-31 01:21:00 | When we lived in Thorndon, Wellington, mid 1960's, our neighbours were war refugees (as were many people in Wellington at the time, including members of my family). Every Sunday the neighbours used to cook a fish dish of some kind that really did smell like "rotting fish, in the sun, on the fenceline". Extraordinary smell, particularly to me, because the culinary tradition in my family all my life in Canterbury had been the Sunday roast. Many years later I got to know a Hungarian taxi driver in Canterbury, who was a refugee from the 1956 uprising - he said the smell of roasting mutton on Sunday in ChCh nearly made him sick. Each to their own! |
