Re: Should I do it?

Carol - It could be a good idea to print a copy of this thread which may go some way to prove the difficulties you've had and the steps you've considered and taken. If you ever have further problems with your bully neighbour, you could consider reporting him to the police with the intention of getting a civil injunction order against him. I'd hate to live close to an anti-social neighbour - once a bully always a bully............and they don't like to loose!

I have already opened a log with the police. The council & my MP know about it all - including the bullying.

Thanks Lindyloo. Your suggestion is appreciated..

Thanks for your suggestion anyway - it's true a gate would have been less contentious but not possible in this situation.
You can get gate hinges that cope with virtually any slope. They are easy to make too. The bottom hinge is offset from the post so as you open the gate the gate centre travels upwards over the slope. The amount of offset depends on the slope.

Be careful what you record with regards to you and your neighbour carol. If you ever want to sell your house any disputes between neighbours have to be declared these days as part of the selling process and could influence the decision of a prospective buyer to proceed with the purchase or withdraw.

Re: Should I do it?

My son & his family would like to live in this house when we're gone & I want them to live here.

Trouble is he'd have to buy his 2 sisters out...
