    Pretty uncooperative neighbor.. Are you sure the gardner spoke with her.. You should talk to her directly not via the gardner.

    Quite sure and I spoke with her once and typed a very nice note asking her to assist in solving this problem.  Never heard any response.

    Zed first you say the palm is droping branches, which in my gook is part of life... you pick them up and put them in her yard or dispose of them. . 

    Then that the shrubs are damaging your fence, Can you ask her to let a gardener come in and cut the hedge back or the bushes back? That is what I do with the neighbors at the back. who let their bugam billia gtow all o our roof. THey have no problem as long as they do not pay..

    Her gardener told me she does not want to trim anything as she likes it that way, so it is not about money.

    try throwing a gallon of bleach over the wall, works every time...

    Bleach comes in flavors/scents????

    The roots are on her side, however, the overgrowth pushes my chain link fence.  Frankly, at this point, I am tired of being nice and getting no cooperation. All she cares about is what she wants with no consideration for me.

    I'm guessing Zeb is not going to ask for this kind of help here again. Too bad.  Seems to me that he/she DOES have a right to protect the  home property/fence and has seemingly done the right thing first for 2 years.... contact the neighbor looking for a solution.... to no avail.   

     

    Your observations are accurate.  I am reluctant to post anything because someone invariably finds the need to criticize instead of help.  I don't know what makes people behave this way.

    If the tree cannot be trimmed any further back away from your property, how about simply picking up whatever debris falls onto your property and putting it in the trash?  I own a home in a heavily forested neighborhood in the States, and cannot imagine how I would react to a "politely worded" letter from my neighbor asking me to keep my trees' leaves from blowing onto her property.  I doubt, though, that the letter would be received favorably.  Leaves and other debris from trees scatter.  That's nature.  In the interest of friendly neighborly relations, I suggest coping with it -- and I don't intend this to come across mean spiritedly.

    I have done that the past two years, but now overgrowth etc is damaging my fence.

  6. I am having a problem with one of my neighbors.  Her palm tree drops its branches and dead parts onto my fence, yard, or driveway.  I have spoken to her about this.  I have also written a polite letter asking her to take care of this.

    She does nothing.  I went to the HOA with my problem.  I doubt that the Board will do anything.

    What are my options at this point?

    In Chapala, Sastreria Karla, on Del Velesco (between Degollado and Miguel Martinez) 13:00-19:00 tel 332-131-5521. Turn at Bus station on Miguel Martinez to Rt on Acapulco to Rt on Del Velasco. Brown door on left

    Thanks.  I will try to locate.  The lady I have gone to in Ajijic is okay, but has no full length mirror and, really, that is a huge impediment.  I don't understand why she did not allow for this.  I cannot tell if something looks right or if the length is good.

    No, it is a reataurant accross from Barbara´s bazar

     

    Efren Gonzales is doing something with the 14th of July name in it.

    Well, not knowing what the heck it was, I looked on line and results showed a dating app.  I had no way to know it was the name of a restaurant in Ajijic.

    Zeb "le 14Juillet is celebrated on the 13. We dance all night and have fireworks on the 13th at 11pm or so. On the 14th it is a quiet day with military parade. No special meal for the 14th if you want to be authentic.  It is one of the rare holidays that we do not celebrate with food. 

    My questions was and still is "are there any events planned in our area?"

  10. I had used a seamstress I liked in Chapala, however, I cannot now find her location.  If anyone knows of seamstresses in Chapala, please let me know.

    I already know about Rosie and someone else in Ajijic, however, that is not for whom I am searching.

    I printed out the Walmart return policy in English, took it with me, and when the clerk said I needed a receipt, I showed him the policy.  End of argument. He took it back and I got a credit.

    To those who said I should keep receipts--of course I know that.  However, this was purchased a while back and I don't keep receipts for 90 days. Nonetheless, they need to honor their policy which is to take returns without a receipt.  This was a paper item in its original wrapper.

     

     I am keeping that printed out policy in my files should I ever need it again.

    Correction, I printed it out in Spanish as in was written on the site.
