Hi All,
I have two questions regarding a house we purchased in March of 2005.
1. We recently discovered a pretty good roof leak. During a recent storm I cut a whole in the ceiling in an attempt to determine the source of the leak. I discovered the ceiling had two layers of sheet rock, the topmost layer being completely deteriorated from water damage. Seems the leak had been going on for some time and one of the previous owners covered it up by installing a new ceiling. Do I have any recourse?
2. Our neighbors have two large (approx. 40ft) evergreen trees which were planted 2-3 feet from the fence. They've now overgrown the fence so much that they are beginning to block my driveway, and hang onto my garage. I've asked them to trim their trees, but their response was basically "YOU may trim them, but don't trim them past the property line, or you'll be in trouble". I have no desire to undertake to trim their trees. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you all.
