In Houston, our neighbor uses power tools until all hours of the morning. This has gone on for a year, now. They left a pan on the stove which burned up and damaged their kitchen, (could have burned the whole place down!) so, they ripped it out themselves - no building permit - and remodeled.

Now, they're doing drywall...thank God they put some up as we have heard every word and scream (domestic violence!!!) for two years. Since they put up some walls we can't hear their yelling, and kicking their dog (which they tie in a closet!)

They throw cigarette butts out their front door, have hung shower curtains for front drapes, and you can see the screaming ugly yellow they painted their kitchen. They've torn up the floor, which you can see, and live on bare concrete.

My landlord tried to "cheap out" when they flooded their bathroom trying to remodel it themselves. Now I have mold seeping thru to our drywall. BUT, the neighbor had a friend who installed our new fixtures in the bath: when it was time to pay the man. they came over to my place, banged on the door, and threatened to come in my home & tear out the new fixtures (already paid for by my landlord.) I had their check from my landlord in my purse to give to them that day & all I was to do was fill out their names on it. They'd give no last names: they apparently are illegals which I'd suspected. They finally gave a fake last name and demanded that my husband ride to their bank with them!!! He did as he did not want us or our home to be harmed.

He then came over about a week later and asked to come in and "see the work that he did." I then told him that since he's made a threat, he could not enter my home. They slam the door constantly.

Now, the unmarried trash is having a baby.....in a one-bedroom condo. So I'll hear the anchor-baby bastard screaming all night in a month or so.

I get up at 4:00 AM to go to my job plus I have a second job. When I'm home I want to rest. Recently I had one hour to take a nap between jobs & they were outside having a cursing fight dropping F and GD bombs right in front of some little kids at the pool.

I hope to God that my husband gets the job he is going for in another city! This condo was perfect for us: good price, utilities included, otherwise AWESOME neighbors and is a close-knit safe little part of the busy city. Two blocks from my job! There's apparently no way to get these people out as their brother owns the condo & rents it to this ne'er do well relative. They don't work and park their piece-of-crap beat-up truck so close to my car that we can't get in & out!

Also the landlord is an a-hole (ignorant dude from another country & can't understand Tx law) that won't fix the mold (so I did) and won't clean the air ducts: which have giant mold spores growing in them & horrible black dust. I have severe asthma; he's threatened to retaliate when I asked him to spend 69.95 to clean them. Since I made the request he says he has "people lined up to pay bigger rent! Bet they wouldn't when they hear what comes thru the walls! We endure this because of the convenience to the job....in the business I'm in, I'm on call and can't ever, ever be late. So it helps to be this close to work.

This sucks....I hope that new job goes thru for Hubby...I just pray constantly. Y'all please pray for us also. PS....pays TWICE what his current job pays!!!!!

Thanks,
