We bought a rural lot to build the log house we always wanted. We were the first in the area and the first to start building. On the lot next door were the citiots (city idiots). They complained about everything, they said our house was too close to the lot line (we had temporarily staked out the outline of the house to see how that orientation would look, the contractor put the house over a few feet to comply with the requirements). They got caught in a neighbors house measuring the area of the first floor (you had to build a certain minimum size) When we put up a yard light on the front of an addition to the pole barn they complained it shined in their bedroom window. When we put up some temporary fence panels to keep our first llamas in they complained about it. We had contracted to have a nice three board fence constructed around the whole 3 acres at no small expense, to look nice in the neighborhood. They had no use for the llamas, all the other neighbors loved them. She complained to the zoning officer of the township, she told her to get over it, she was not in the city anymore.
The topper and final straw for us was they and another neighbor circulated a petition to have the protective covenants changed, among some other small things, to not allow any livestock except horses and only one per acre (previous one had no pigs, no chickens but everything else was OK). We were grandfathered. They never asked us or even told us about it. We found out due to a required notification when the change was filed at the Clerk's office at the county seat. We decided we'd had enough of their meddling in everyone's lives and we found a place in a true rural area and left. All farm folks around us and no one complains.
They say karma's a b!tch, and it is... their house burned down from a lightning strike about a year after we left that area. I felt bad, a little, it was a nice house.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
