Neighbor tried to get my mom fined over our shed. So I got his $40K pool filled in.

I live with my mom. She’s quiet, keeps to herself, never bothers anyone. A few months ago, our new neighbor decided to report her to the city for having an “illegal shed” in the backyard.

It was total BS, the shed’s been there for years and has full permits. An inspector came out, checked everything, and left without saying a word.

But the neighbor? Smug. Proud. Thought he’d scared us.

So I did a little digging.

Turns out his brand-new pool was way too close to the property line and illegally built over a utility easement.

I reported him. Attached photos. Quoted city codes.

Two weeks later, the city ordered him to either move it (impossible) or fill it in. He lost the whole thing $40,000 down the drain. Literally.

Now he gets to look at our completely legal shed every day… while standing over a pile of dirt where his pool used to be.

Mom sleeps great now.
