Thanks, Texas! That all makes sense. And it certainly wouldn't be cheap to FIX them! Just had never heard the term "saltbox" before.
Your neighbor has a nice yard! And at least he lined it up nicely. It would dive ME crazy if he had positioned it at an angle! Just kinda anal in that respect. :lol: Hope for YOUR sake, he only "does" one at a time! :shock:

Setback laws only apply to new construction here, and no zoning.... Has it's drawbacks, but I am not to bad where I live, dead end street. Luckily where good friends. He is a hard worker, and very nice people. Better be nice, she just took over my business accounting.... She has a degree in accounting. 8)

Wow! NO, you didn't mention that. Man, THAT is close! Kinda like "excuse me, can I borrow your toothbrush while I feed the kids their breakfast?"
BTW, is that fescue?

BTW, is that fescue? St. Augustine, well fertilized, but cut low this year due to drought and water restrictions. Looked better in August, grows like heck at 100 degrees out and a little water. If it does not freeze over 3 days, it usually stays green, but like summer, don't expect 80 degree temps and balmy, :wink:

Well.... I don't think I could PUTT on it. But, I could hit a nice wedge out of it, OVER the saltbox, and onto your neighbor's porch!
You've got my curiosity up. I hope you'll post a picture of the "finished product." Heck, we might have the beginnings of a "reality show" here! Although, I can't think of a good name for it! :lol:

Hooked up with someone local buying these saltboxes and converting them into hunting cabins. Seen these before, but now next door. :shock: When done will have windows, door, bunks, kitchenette, bathroom, etc. Will keep you updated if interested on progress. Hope he at least gets it sandblasted and painted soon. Yukkk.

The first one he had done by someone else was an absolute mess from what I heard, and when my neighbor went to clean it up, he ended up way over budget, and will loose on that one. Will check on the cost, and write up. Been brought up he might want a web page, so might be doing that for them.....? The windows and doors will be all steel, no wood. Bars on the windows I think, but for around here, not sure if they need it. We have no OPEN range land, every ranch is fenced and gated, and god forbid someone getting caught tresspasing on Texas land....... And Roadhog, not sure if this would work as an Ice Shanty??  Be neat though, with pontons maybe as a safety net.....
