'They were landscaping half my yard': Frustrated homeowner installs 8-inch privacy fence to reclaim his yard, after new neighbors keep using his driveway for family gatherings, and shovel part of his yard to build a deck

What's the one thing worse than entitled neighbors…entitled neighbors who are always hosting their whole entitled extended family! Hooray! 

This homeowner is fed up with having his neighbors treat his property as if they are contributing to his monthly mortgage. They don't respect his space: in fact, they have physically claimed his space as their own by digging it up in an attempt to build a new, lavish wooden deck for their big Sunday brunches and noisy Wednesday game nights. So in response to their lack of boundaries, he has no other choice but to build his own (literally!) 

Sometimes, the only way to stop people from crossing the line is by blocking it off. All you need to do is smile and wave, and let the 8-inch fence do the talking…because telling your neighbors that you would like their 16-member family to stop encroaching on the land you paid for, even if it's just a few square feet, may come off a bit strong…
