I wish I had someone to talk to about the neighbor's storage solution.  The female half of the couple came over looking for my forgiveness, I guess.  She explained to me that although it's an eyesore now, it will be better when they put siding on it, it will look just like any other structure.  Just like their mobile home with the particle board siding. 

I let her explain that and told her the problem is not the structure but the location, that they have all sorts of other places to put it instead of right in front of the only window her husband sees me in every day.  She continued talking but I was done listening and put my ipod ear phones back in as I said I'm sure it will look great all ginger-breaded up.  Seriously, I don't give a shit what it looks like, I care where it is. 

I have no legal grounds to have it moved.  I just wish they had been a little more, ok, a lot more, neighborly about it.  It's right in the middle of my view, in the middle of their yard.

Most of all, these are the people I thought were the good neighbors.  They are self centered children apparently.

I know how you feel. My neighbors are very weird and had a cut up tree that is like 5 feet wide put in there front yard. Branches and all. It's been there a year now. I thought maybe it would be for fire wood but no....it just sits there with the grass growning tall around it. Weird. Sorry that you have to look out at that everyday :O(

Sigh. What's up with neighbors that don't consider the impact?? I don't like mowing my grass, I don't care if it's a lawn... but I have neighbors that do so I mow!

Just out of curiosity - have you checked the bi-laws? Especially if it's a structure? I have no idea about bi-laws in your area, but it sure wouldn't be allowed here! A few calls to your Mayor's office might help.
