She doesn't' live here full time, this is weekend place for her.
The sheriff's department has been involved.
I understood, but who knows maybe a snowy Christmas party for the friends out in the nature.....

I'd say you've likely got that pegged correctly.... the thing is, unless you screw-up, she can't do anything. I'm bettin' when she finally comes to the realization there ain't anything she can do in a legal, or civil sense, she's gonna' try to really pizz-you-off in hopes you do something she can pounce on. Look for it, get ahead of it, keep your eyes and senses sharp... and above all, don't lose your head. Don't play her game; when you find roofing nails spread on your drive don't get pizzed-off and throw 'em on hers... just call the sheriff and report roofing nails on your drive. Don't mention names and point fingers (unless a deputy asks if you have an enemy), just report someone spread roofing nail on your drive. She's already shown her colors to the sheriff's dept... she'll make her own bed if you stay calm, cool and keep breathing.
Spoken like a true master.
I've dealt with her type in the past. They have no problem violating the rights of others and are the first to complain when the same is done to them.
Unfortunately i've seen these things play out before and you have not heard the last of her. These people have a "city slickers handbook" and the next move will be her attorney filing motions and contacting the local politicians and trying to influence you local plannning or zoning board, I would preempt such moves by finding out who the shot callers are and where there heads are at. I would also not have another conversation with her without a witness present, she has already proven to be a couple sandwiches short of a proper lunch, no telling what stories she might cook up to neutralize you.

1. City Slickers Handbook - Classic!
2. What does her forum sound like? Lets have someone give it a guess? I'm sure it is convincing....
Recently I have been noticing that people's opinions of a situation are extremely biased in favor of the first person that tells the story. Very hard to overcome first impressions. Just my observations.
Agreed, it's time to circle the wagons and prepare for the attack.
Walt41,
She may want her attorney to file motions and such... but I seriously doubt he'll go along with her because there's zero chance it could work, and he'd look like an idiot to his peers. The OP lives in Missouri, not New York... Midwestern folk just see things differently than Eastern dwellers. The property is rural and that's how it's zoned, it won't be changed... it can't be changed without upsetting the whole apple cart. The people living, and making a living in those rural areas are the same people who vote-in the County Board Members (who normally are rural dwellers from the same county) and pay taxes. Out here in fly-over-country, it's the people-of-the-county who make the policies... the county politicians (the County Board) just keeps it all organized.
There's a chunk of wooded property on the river, down the road 'bout a half mile, owned by a police officer in New York state (a inheritance/marriage thing). Anyway, a few years ago he wanted to develop the property, divide it into lots, put in a bunch of driveways off the road, wells and septic systems, and then sell them off. Before the county board would give him the necessary permits they held an open forum, everyone in this area (and a lot of other county folk) showed up and said, "NO! AND HELL NO!" He tried the lawyer thing... didn't work... the board pretty much laughed his Des Moines lawyer out'a the county. Ain't anyone in this county who wants a bunch of city-slicker sub-divisions retirement homes popping up all over the county messin' up our way of life... and if ya' let one in you've set the precedent.
Now she might could try and get a county noise ordinance voted in (but the people of the county would be doing the voting). Even if she succeeded it wouldn't be in effect during farming/ranching hours, maybe she'd have "quiet" time from midnight to 4:00 AM... and even that would be suspended during planting and harvest (many run 'round the clock until it's done). Her other option is a civil suit, maybe try suing for aggravation... but, like I said before, if the OP ain't running equipment right next to her at 2:00 AM... she ain't got the equal to squat from a Missouri mule... and if she ain't a resident of the county she has less than that.
Her only real chance is if the OP loses his cool and screws-up...
Way better thread than, should I stack my wood bark side up or bark side down....

Bark up when it's raining, and down when it's sunny. Rounds get stood on end. Doesn't everybody know this?:msp_lol:
OP, keep your chin up and your head cool! You're on the side of the angels.
