We bought our house five years ago and were made aware that our neighbor’s AC is over our property line by one foot. We have a small yard so this is significant. It’s on a concrete slab and we have survey documents showing the encroachment, as well as survey posts.

The property of our neighbor’s has switched hands a few times but within the same family.

The air conditioner wasn’t an issue until recently, when we have experienced some things that may be harassment- we found dog waste and other waste in our yard that looks like it was placed there intentionally.

I either want them to move it, or to get it in writing that use of the property does not confer ownership so they can’t claim adverse possession. Whats my next step; do I need a real estate attorney?

Both my spouse and I have been having issues with our Kia’s. I have a Kia forte 2015 and he has a Kia soul 2016. 

I was driving on the highway and for a while it was fine, but then my car slowed down and I couldn’t get past 45. When I tried to go over 45, I heard a “vroooom” sound and the tachometer went to the max. (It was like a sound when you try to drive in neutral). I had to pull over, and after starting the car again several times, I was able to drive it home. The mechanic couldn’t replicate the behavior.

Then my spouse had the same issue with his Kia Soul, except when he pulled over, he couldn’t get the car to start again. 

Any idea what’s going on?

Also weird question- but could this be a sign of someone tampering with our vehicles? I hope not, but we have a disgruntled neighbor situation going on.

I’m in zone 6B. Please tell me I can cut this to the ground now and it will grow back 😂 Will it?

It looks awful because it has lots of criss-crossing branches from where I pruned it as a hedge before I knew better and I had to take out some other bushes growing in there.

Some of the branches had gall too.

It looks like crap and I think I need to start over, but I’m so afraid to cut it all down. But I guess you can’t ruin something you hate, right?

(Also, I don’t really have room for such a tall plant, but because of the utility lines, I can’t cut it down and put it something else. I have no idea how to prune this to keep it a manageable size.
