I am looking to a specific answer to a specific question but hope the thread title is sufficiently vague for the discussion to morph into whatever needs addressing at the time.
Ok now the specific issue. Anyone who knows me knows I have on and off again issues with air traffic. I now have a much more serious concern: foot traffic. Today, I saw a neighbor who has nothing to do with us (none of our neighbors do and I like it that way) walking halfway up our long drive with her 2 lapdogs on leashes. This is a large older lady of late 50's early 60's with health issues who hobbles. She saw me and stopped and watched what I would do. I was running a tiller in the garden, so just started it and walked off. I had been running the tiller from noon on, at least 40 minutes before I saw her so she knew I was there.
Now a brief diversion to other fishy activities. Further up the drive, way out of the way for anyone to walk, I find an empty Copenhagen chewing tobacco container on the lawn. In February, long after the October storm, a group of 4 or so utility workers walked all the way up to within 100 feet of the house while leaving their electric truck at the bottom of the hill blocking the driveway. Then there are the people who occasionally drive up with hokey excuses or usually just go away without explanation.
Now back to the present. The tobacco can could have been from them but I doubt it, as I walk up and down the hill every night for exercise and probably would have noticed it well before now.
I have been on and off again at this residence, which my bro and I inherited from our mom. We grew up here, and these neighbors used to be provocative in their younger days, throwing wild noisy parties while shooting guns, several days a week into well into the night keeping us kids up at night. Funny thing is, they are up and in bed with the birds now! The husband is a retired prison guard in good with the local cops. Ever since they asked our mom if their kid could race his dirtbike through our fields (over 30 years ago) and our mom refused (he still occasionally did it anyway along with another neighbor kid), they had a bur up their ass and occasionally do things seemingly just to piss us off. After the storm, they cut up and hauled off a tree that was either on our property or on town land by the road across from them. More recently, my brother was burning brush across from them a couple months ago and it briefly threatened to get out of hand. They came over and lay down in the field with beers and were shouting instructions to my brother. I was watching another fire at the time and unaware of this. We burned a pile near them yesterday without incident. This woman may have walked past the pile remnants and did walk past a bird box. Tell anyone this and they would think she is a nice old lady checking out the bird box and what is the problem? I know if we go over there, they will likely say they have every right as the property is not posted. If it were posted, they would likely trespass anyway, and I don't obviously want to involve cops. (until the last few months, they had been quiet and kept to themselves and their circle of friends with no problems for 2 decades or more!)
So after all that, THE IMMEDIATE QUESTION IS:
How cheap can you get no trespassing signs? we would need a whole lot of them! thanks!
