Neighbors trampoline

Trampolines are on many insurers list of worst things ever. You could be a good neighbor and live with it (Hell get your own small one and when they are jumping you go jump and make weird faces at them) or you can find out who insures them and rat them out. Their premiums will go through the roof and problem solved. It’s a horrible thing to say but in this day an age we are forgetting how to live with and among each other. I had neighbors who son shot every ball imaginable over our fence. He broke pottery, lanterns, balls got stuck in my pergola. Then he discovered girls a few years later and no more balls. This too shall pass. Good luck.

One thing not mentioned in costs are obvious ones to me. First, debt service: assuming you have a mortgage of some kind on the project house while living someplace else. My gut reno took a year. I considered the 12 month carrying cost while not living there an expense towards the reno. And 12 months is considerable. Architect fee I assume is in the 25K range? Maybe less. Expediter I have probably spend at least 4K and my engineer I spent probably 5K. Thats at least 100K in costs that you really need to consider. That’s assuming you have no surprises during demo. I didnt’ have surprises per se but I spent at least 50K that was not in the original scope. 10K was probably “surprise” and the rest was us- which I think is normal. We changed our minds during a year long reno on things that cost money. Every contractor will tell you to have at least 10% contingency. I would say 15% is better and I would plan to spend it all. So just contingency and costs OUTSIDE your co ntractor is at least 150K. If you invest you would consider every dollar spent so you should consider that same even if it’s for yourself.

I know you cannot go higher on the fence height so maybe have plant bamboo trees.

Cheapest permissible option to make the fence higher is lattice with greenery

I live in an attached townhouse. My neighbors have 3 teenagers, a trampoline and a basketball hoop. I was just thinking last night how I love the sound of the kids outside having fun, especially on a February night.

I remember growing up there was one neighbor who freaked out every time we went to retrieve a ball from her front yard. Now everyone is like that.

I have no problem throwing back my neighbor’s kids soccer balls that come into my r”yard. Nor do I care about my other neighbors basketball dribbling.
This is a totally different thing a huge large net above my fence line with kids, teens bouncing in it with a boom box ,Morning and afternoon They should build a higher fence or replace all the trees they cut down. No consideration for any of the surrounding neighbors.

The music seems to be something that you could ask them about since that is a noise nuisance. Truth be told, we have a trampoline in our backyard for our 9 year olds. They are out there a lot and it’s a life saver for us. I don’t know if you live in a historic district in bed stuy, but for us, the constant construction behind and around our house is a much bigger concern, and frankly a nuisance for us. But we figure that this is living in brooklyn- you have to deal with other people right there. We are annoying sometimes I’m sure, and others are annoying to us (parties that go on until midnight with a dj in the summer, etc). Kids need to move, and trampolines are great for that. Everything changes, and I’m sure this will too. We just finished 2 years of construction next to us and behind us with workers looking right into our yard (and watching our kids on the trampoline) every weekday until 7pm. Now we have 20 somethings out on their terraces overlooking our trampoline.
