'They blocked out the sunlight to our neighbor's property': Determined dad plants trees to get back at his neighbor after they snub his building permit

Dads always have some kind of problem with the neighbors. Perhaps the innate dadness of living in a neighborhood and showing your dadly dominance over the other dads, but at some point, there's a natural progression from friendly competition into neighborly rivalry. In this case one dad had serious beef with his neighbor over a decade-old dispute and got payback in the best way possible– using nature and all its glorious, light-blocking beauty.

Our protagonist, OP's dad, began his journey when the kids were all young, planning to build an add-on to the house in order to make it the home of their family's dreams. They had the cash lined up for the remodel, they had the space, and he'd dialed in the permitting with the HOA, until... Dad's dreams were shattered when a single man and the most stubborn opposition stood in the way of his dream home: his neighbor. 

Scroll for the full story on how a father had his Mojo-Dojo-Casa-House dreams cast aside when his neighbor complained that the new build would block the natural sunlight to their home. Let's just say that this is one dad you wouldn't want to cross again. For more tales of delicious, long-played revenge, check out this story of an employee that got revenge on a pair of coworkers who bullied his friend by overfeeding them with sweets for a year.
