Hi my next door neighbours are building an extension to their house. The builders asked if we would allow scaffolding to be placed on part of our driveway. Now, these builders are taking too long and the builders attitude is rude when questioned how long they gonna take to finnish. If we want the scaffolding to go, what righs have we got as we gave verbal permission to the builders to have it put up by scaffolders and the planned extension not yet completed?
mom says more rights than the neighbor since they are taking too long to finish its in your favor - it is your property not the contractors mom would make a comment like this to that rude contractor since you have left this scaffolding abandoned in my drive way for a month (whatever time) i am sure that when you return in the morning someone else will have removed it for me since your permission time has long expired and you have been repeatedly asked to remove it - so if you value your equipment investment it will be gone before supper tonight - AM I UNDERSTOOD !!! (that last part would be really loud and right in his face, probably with a finger poke in the chest) then when they don't remove it be prepared with wrenches and a pick up truck to remove it before their return in the morning - stashing it out of sight but on the property when they question you about the missing scaffolding you can offer to rent one to them that was abandoned in your driveway for $500.00 dollars a day (she would smile her prettiest smile when she said this) be prepared for a fuss - but they had their chance - stand your ground that's how mom rolls - she plays for keeps - not many cross her - when they do they quickly regret it - she would have it in small pieces in front of their eyes, but she suggests the first description for you - mom is tough but incredibly fair - the rules are the rules for a reason whether you like it or not, or anybody else for that matter
