    Default mowing my lawn

    So i mowas soon as i get home to be done with it. The guy 2 doors down asked if i would mow at a different time because the kids get out of school not long after i start. School is about 2 blocks down. I've never had a problem with any kid,i watch and stop if some walk by. I've only been here since 80. He's the same guy that wanted no parking signs posted on our block for street sweeping as we dont and they just go around a parked car. So do i or not? Right now i'm not.

    Its your yard right?
    Since when can your neighbor stop you from mowing it?
    Unless it is at night and keeping them awake you can do it whenever you want.

    If he says anything again pour some rice krispies in his yard when it starts to rain.

    That is a rediculous request. I understand where he is comming from (its a stretch) but lets get real...Its your lawn...your not disturbing anyone...your not breaking any laws...your not behaving inapropriate...he is trying to be the neighborhoods "hall monitor". he should get a life.

    Not wanting to stir the pot in the neighborhood, I would tell him this is the only time convenient for you. But if he would like to mow your lawn at a more suitable time (in his mind) he would be welcome to do so. If he has a problem with that tell him to start a petition and present it to the city counsel. Maybe take the focus off you for a bit while he is trying to get signatures.

    I don't understand why he wants you to change your mowing schedule. How does kids coming home from school have anything do with lawn mowing?

    I have a simple solution. Have him mow your lawn when he finds it convenient. Offer him $5 for his time, as your time is much more valuable than his.

    Seems Deputy Dawg is your neighbor.
    Give him and inch and he will try to take it all.
    I would tell him I mow when I am able and it is convenient to me but thank you for your suggestion.

    I have to echo Nick's question: what's lawn mowing got to do with his kids passing by?

    edit: or what kind of lawnmower do you have that can endanger his kids?
    the "lawn decimator 3000"?
