The last 24 hours of my twitterings and tweetings.

I really expected the skip to be gone.

But then again I guess his responses should have told me otherwise. I said "That skip really needs to be moved, it's really messing us up" and his response was "I didn't ask them to put it there".

WELL THEN! It's all gravy, right? You didn't ask them to put it there and when you found they've blocked access to several properties you were immediately on the phone to them? I'm guessing by your response to my next comment - "It's got to be moved because it's really messing with the parking, we've got at least 4 extra cars trying to fit into no more spaces out front" was even better...

"You're just telling me the obvious now aren't you?".

HELL YES! So obvious that you got it fixed right away? Ah, no. Now I see. So obvious that it as it doesn't affect you, it doesn't matter a damn to you.

You wouldn't believe that this guy is late 40s early 50s, by his complete lack of anything intelligent to say. You know if I was starting what appears to be fairly major construction work, I would at least have the courtesy to mention it to my neighbours. I would at least mention that they're planning on doing work to the party wall. I would at least apologise if a company that I hired restricted access to other peoples' property so much...

I'm hopping mad and can't do anything about it directly. I've been trying to think of things I CAN do but all of them are so over the top I'd feel I was putting something at risk, or so petty. I wonder... can you be done for criminal damage to something which (by virtue being fixed on to your property) is at least partly yours?

Just spoke to landlord, informed about the damage and they said they will pop round tomorrow to inspect and were very interested in the work being done without consent.

They said they'd write a letter to pop through their door. It's out of my hands at least, and all I have to worry about is hiring a skip to put in the most inconvenient place I can think of for them, when this is all done with. Well, it's either that or I buy a boulder, and boulders aren't cheap :)
