What would you have done Frankie? “A little bit of time” 😂

No good deed goes unpunished.

Tell the guy next door he is not your neighbor to sell and move. They are 916 thousand people who want be your neighbor

That's what you get for trying to be nice to certain people. I have had similar experiences myself. Some people drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle. I thought the way you handled it was the best anyone could do. Love the videos.

It should be totally legal to punch someone in the face who is on your land

Speaking of helping people out. I was awakened this past Sunday morning by someone knocking on my front door at 5:45 AM. I answered the door and this guy says he ran out of gas and asked if I had any. I said sure and lent him my full 5 gallon steel Justrite gas can. He walked down my driveway to his car parked on the side of the road and proceeded to empty the gas can into his car. He opened his hatchback put the can inside and said he would be right back with a fresh full can of gas. Needless to say, he never came back. So i was out not only 5 gallons of gas (Reg gas is $3.99 a gallon here) but a Justrite 5 gallon gas can which are not cheap to replace. Wow, you think you're doing someone a solid then they screw you. Live and learn I suppose.

People really need to mind their own buissness. I've learned in my short time in this industry, people are never satisfied with what you do. No Matter what.

I would have burned them when the wind just happened to be in his direction 😊

No matter how nice you are to Neighbors, remember tall fences make good neighbors. I’ve been burned by neighbors before. Just keep to your own yard and enjoy the yard.

I don’t understand why your neighbor is such a dick. You’re literally such a nice, helpful, knowledgeable man! Thanks for at least trying to be helpful to your neighbor. God will get him back Stan.

I do think that you're correct and neighbors should be nice. I clean my neighbors snow, leaves (sidewalks, driveway etc) and do the street areas when they don't have a chance or out of being neighborly. However, this is not common with neighbors or the younger generation. However, the best response would be to avoid your neighbor as much as you can and by doing this he will understand. But don't let your guard down. You will be able to forgive your neighbors, but YOU SHOULD NEVER FORGET. Never give them another opportunity to do something like this. Eventually he may apologize and figure out that it is important to be a good neighbor and get along because we do depend on each other. Being nice was old school thinking and we've become less civil nowadays. We need to get along and understand each other as neighbors. We have more in common than we have differences. Love watching you and what you do and although I don't have the same capabilities or knowledge it is always a learning experience watching your channel.

I just had a similar situation! I do everything for these neighbors, landscape, mowing, taking actual care of them when they've been sick. I get a new driveway (full concrete) done a couple weeks ago. This is replacing gravel and boards that I've hit a hundred times. She calls the township and the county (as they are breaking the old stuff out (and she's known we were doing this for months, even trimmed her trees for free to free up space on my side for the excavator two days before that!)) on me for replacing an existing structure without a permit. They gave me the permit on spot. Told me I was fine, but now she's had a survey done and for no reason. I'm like, why are you ruining a relationship over us improving our home?!? Ridiculous!!

FWIW, Stan is an awesome neighbor. He goes out of his way to be helpful---seriously out of his way to help---and is just a legit good human being. You couldn't ask for a better family to live next to. It sucks that the neighbors at the cabin are crappy (I'm not part of that group).

sometimes, building a 12 ft tall cement wall seems like a nice idea

Wish you were my neighbor

"Borrowing my neighbor all of my tools." You got to be kidding me! I'm guessing the word "lending" never made it into your vocabulary!😊

I got totally lucky with my neighbors. Moved to my new house about 6 years ago. I’ve became best friends with my neighbors. We do everything for each other. They grill out weekly and I eat over there every time. We help each other work in our yards. I have a lawn care/ landscaping business so any equipment needed for that I help with. He runs heavy equipment so anytime I need a excavator or anything like that he will loan that to me. I couldn’t ask for a better neighbor. It helps with think alike and same goes politically.

I wouldn't lend that jerk neighbor anything after that.

Lending my neighbor…lending!

I would have left them there just to screw with the guy. What a jerk.. love the cabin

When my neighbors moved in, the first thing they did was to move the survey stakes for my property. He was upset because his septic is on my property, even though I explained to him that I didn’t mind at all. He then asked me if I’d be willing to pay to have it dug up and replaced, since it’s on my land… needless to say, we don’t have a good relationship.

Hi Stan, as the saying goes “never a good deed go unpunished” 😅

Love thy neighbor. Quite a challenge with some of them!

Advise for your Airbnb plan. Every summer we go to the same lakeside cabins. They have a great small beach and have kayaks and a rowboat for guest use with paddles and life jackets. They have a grill for each cabin, a fire pit and chairs, and a picnic table. They have cornhole boards and other outdoor games, and several board games in each cabin for rainy days. These small amenities make a big difference.

If your neighbors can walk over they are to close. If my neighbors come over they have to drive.

That's why I am glad I don't have neighbors.

He assumed by loaning him your stump grinder that you were criticizing the stumps in his yard So he in return needs to criticize your yard I have noticed by helping some people with their obvious problems they take offense because the problem is not obvious to them .. at all

I've got a dozen of these stories, and you'd think I learned my lesson. A lot of people don't understand the true meaning of community, reciprocity and building trust. Couple of days ago my wife walks in and says our next-door neighbor asked if she could borrow some of my tools. Without skipping a beat, I said, "eff no". This woman has been nothing but a mean and horrible neighbor. She's unfriendly, and she lets her dog out unleashed as if it was a cat to crap anywhere, he wants. And yes, he's dropped a deuce in my yard several times after I've politely and diplomatically brought it to her attention. The neighbor across the street asks to borrow my ladder for a couple of days and it's been two weeks now and he hasn't returned it. I seem to be to "go to" guy for a lot of people on my street when they need something, or they can't figure out a problem around the house. I'm tired of being taken advantage of and made to feel like an idiot. No mas.

On a pump system. You need a purge or weep hole in the pipe or check valve from the pump to leachfield so it can drain back to the pump chamber if pitched properly. The pipe sits above other lines in dist. box and has a velocity tee in the box. That way the pipe won't hold water and freeze. Some cases I've seen the septic lines buried with ridged Styrofoam to protect it from frost..I have a few customers on the lake with Airbnb's I pump the septics a few times a year, depending on how much use they get. You need a set of rules .Ive seen Airbnb's have emergencies because they bring in large amounts of people for gatherings. They weren't listed on the paperwork for the rental agreement..I have pamphlets I can leave for airbnb owners on how to take care of the septic and what not to flush. Pamphlets are printed by my state DES agency. They have decals you can put on vanity mirrors also.

Neighbours can be great and then you get ones that are just self entitled nutters. You’ve more patience than I have Stan, especially after lending him some tools. Man the patriot cabin looks awesome

You handled it way better than I would of

Was just about to comment about the safety stop when you started talking about it. In this case, i would say you are too gentle in your correction but I'm glad you take it seriously. People think they will be fast enough when the hydraulics fail, and I promise you, you wont be...

A smarter man than me once told me when I was very young, Son listen , life is like a bed of roses! "You just need to watch out for the PRICKS" ...😢

Unbelievable...The kind of person who uses kindness as a weakness..your neighbor sounds like a treat..it would be a cold day i would even offer him the time of day after that..I had similar experiences with my new neighbor..wanted to be neighborly and noticed he was walking all the time because he lost his license for some reason..He is 25 yrs old so i gave him a 300 dollar bicycle that we didn't use that my daughter rode rarely when she was a kid.. he not only didn't use it but sold it..When he did drive one day he left his car running in his driveway for 10 hours..He went in and fell asleep but didn't turn his car off..Went over to tell him three different times during that 10 hours but he didn't answer the door finally on the forth try he answered the door and he was upset that i woke him up..I gave up on this guy..Now that he is driving again i noticed he is parking in front of my house which is annoying but ok.. now every day it's half on the road and half on my front lawn..i finally had it with this guy and told him to please be mindful of my yard and his excuse is i want to get my car off the road as best i can..So whats that mean ?..He plans to continue to put ruts in my yard for his benefit ??..Sorry but it isn't going to go down like that my friend..

You guys make work look fun =). If theirs a thought of having a Theodore Roosevelt painting on the wall in “the patriot” I’m all for it.

I love how you just ended up roasting his entire property 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 .. Once a person crosses that line after you been extremely nice to them first all bets are off lol lol lol

Hey hey hey stan, hope you guys are doing well n all, ive been so busy, the lawns are coming at me left n right, i am so glad that everything has been going strong. I picked up three more accounts, nothing too big but definitely good money for me. I hope your neighbors get straightened out. He is very daunting to even do that tho you, that is so rude, after such a Nice gesture to him. Also, i think your neighbor should be mindful of no trespassing signs that you will put up. He breaks the signs rule, he gets a warning, he does it again, he goes to jail. I would start now and if he does it, you go him, I’m no lawyer so i would make sure to check up on it. Luckily for myself, my neighbors and i get along very well. Oh and stan, but the end of the eek i will be in the newspaper, it’s something. Positive, don’t worry, it’s actually gonna benefit the town for what I’m fighting for. It is gonna be the catalyst that starts up everything

I hope that guy didn't grind the stumps right and they all grow back...Frankie had the best answer!!👍🇺🇲

Some of the most mind baffling moments of dealing with people have brought me to believe some of them are completely ignorant to how they are coming off..... In their delusional mind YOU NEEEEED their help and they can't fathom you not doing exactly what they would say... All while thinking they're " helping " you

The battery-operated grease gun is the best invention. I made sure to buy a Makita because I already have plenty of batteries for it, so I do not worry at all about it dying.

Hank Williams Jr said it best....Mind your own business,you won't be minding mine . Dealt with and still deal with busy body types my whole life...even living in a more rural area, still too many neighbors ,I guess.

I’m glad you put a little safety bar. 🤞 he doesn’t become a temporary grease monkey 💥

very informative show thank you

"Borrowed him my tools." Never heard it put this way.

I haven’t made it in life yet. You think I would speak to the person that let me use a their equipment for FREE like that ?! Audacity is an understatement !

I drove one of those old Mack trucks with a twin stick. Yep, 5 reverse speeds. I could run 50mph in reverse, and did it often, building a new highway. Had nowhere to turn around, so backing up 3/4 of a mile to drop stone it came in handy. Shifted it backwards, just like going forward. Favorite truck I ever drove.

I quit loaning my tools and rushing to help neighbors when i heard one tell the son, naw i'll just have her do it.

You are the man Stan.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I don't understand how you end up with so many neighbour issues.

Thank you for telling him to put the safety bar in.

That cabin is looking nice. Got a neighbor like that up at our cabin up north. We put down some fresh gravel in the roadway that 6 of the cabins share and one guy on the end didn't want. He ended up taking it up and dumping it; said he didn't want people to see a nice roadway and think they can drive down it. I get it but i was sick of the mud. Needless to say me and 4 of the other cabins said f it and paved it ending at my cabin. None of have talked to him since

Most of my neighbors keep to themselves but I got a new next-door neighbor about a year ago and he's amazing; always eager to help me out, lends me his truck to move material. I help him with whatever I can. Another one of his friends and I just poured a concrete patio off his shed for him a week ago. Neighbors like that are what this country was built on, it's a shame they're so rare. I don't know about the air bnb thing, man. I've heard some real nasty stories about the renters or whatever you call them and Air bnb is making it harder to screen the good ones from the bad from everything I've heard.

Thanks for using the hydraulic safety equipment Stan just yesterday Facebook had a video very clearly depicting what happens when hydraulics fail I don’t wanna see that video ever again the next time you catch someone under hydraulics like that you could save their life!

I didn’t think them kinda people were up that way, that sucks Stan you handled it well it sounds like, and do zak and Frankie live up at that cabin? They are there quite often just curious, that place seems like paradise

Had a neighbor like that and I don't acknowledge him anymore.

Again you’re a better man than me! I would send him an invoice for what you lent him. Are you in an HOA? If not I would take all those bags and dump them in your front yard! I truly hate people!!!

Should have just said: "I'm so glad you are here to help me load up these leaves, thank you for coming over to help expedite this, I'm so underwater with everything."

I had an old lady neighbor, and every time I stepped in my back yard she would start complaining that my sprinklers were getting on her rocks and causing weeds. I turned my sprinklers off, and didn’t water again for 7 years growing nothing but weeds.

They share audacity of that guy! He definitely has a screw loose.

What a whack job neighbor! Not surprising what people will do 😢 everything can be going great and then…

My brother has a grinder/pump in his septic system. If its NOT working, pumping uphill, you will KNOW real quick; as it comes back into the house.

Wow! Really nice neighbor.

Is this the neighbor you bought the ham for?

Brother that machine looks like it came out of a Batman movie.

Any chance I could borrow that wheelbarrow? Just drop it in the garage on the way by…

Make sure you burn when the wind is going in the right direction if you know what I mean. After everything you did for that there Tossa, Cabins look awesome,A bit of oil on that deck and your all done, loved the episode, keep it up regards Andy Perth Australia.

An Air BnB seems like a lot of liability issues, especially with a pond. Maybe make sure a lawyer has thoroughly looked through the contract/rental agreement including special rules for using the pond.

Definitely move out of the “city” ! I’ll be damned the day someone says something about leaves in my yard

Damn Stan. That neighbor deserves to get a dog 💩💩💩muffin for christmas.

If the guy was so worried about it why didn't he just ask if it was ok if he raked the leaves for you in payment of borrowing your equipment like really the audacity of some people

You have a lot of equipment to grease. Get yourself a cordless grease gun. You'll love how quick and easy it is to use.

I learned the hard way that Southern hospitality and neighborly country folks are a myth.

You lend stuff to someone, you borrow something from someone. I borrowed friends stump grinder, i bought complete replacement set of carbide teeth and replaced the starting solenoid that hadn't worked for a couple years, and was happy to do so.

I wish I knew which neighbor has called the city twice on me for building without a permit; the city said it was an anonymous report. Don't know how to fight that. Oh and I did not need any permits.

AB&B can be nightmares. Especially with large family groups. Kids are very destructive.

I love Frankie's response.

You don't "borrow" something to someone, you 'loan' them something.

I’ve never noticed anyone in the UK moving leaves? Most people think they look nice and the worms take care of them. The idea of using diesel to pick them up and then burning them in a pile doesn’t sound very ecological? 🤷‍♂️ I compost all the ones that land on the drive, only because there are no worms there. Your neighbour sounds like he has nothing else to worry about 😸

Stan hope you don't mind tearing up your property people don't respect other people's things that idea won't last long I have a customer that has a shore house rental last only 2 years. Your cabin is awesome it looks great since rebuild

Put small square hay bails down over the pipe in spring just pick up the bails.

Awwe i love the Patroit idea

Just goes to show that sometimes the good you do doesn’t do you any good.

I refuse to hand pump a grease gun! One of the best battery operated tool ever!

You were more diplomatic than I would’ve been

You need to get a couple of manure forks. They are not only the best thing for shoveling manure, but they are excellent for moving beauty bark, leaves, mulch, etc..

No matter how many times you can be nice and offering to people they will turn on a dime. Not all people but most.

I wish you could show him that article in today’s Philadelphia newspaper. The environmental benefit of fallen leaves is incredible - from providing habitat to beneficial insects and wildlife to the nutrients they provide the soil. Even New York City’s famous high line park was planted with shrubs and trees that thrive on fallen leaves and unkempt stems. The environmentally worthless manicured lawn may well become a thing of the past.

I am a real smartass so I probably would have said something like, yes that would be great if you have the city come help me clean up the leaves. It is really hard Stan to have neighbors that are perfectionists.

Stanley I use to be your neighbor on the lake about 7 years ago and I can confirm what an A$$ those two neighbors are. Don’t let them know you’re going to do an air-b-n-b. They are part of the reasons we moved away. You were one of the nicest neighbors ever with the best 4th of July fireworks shows.

Honest to God, I would have loaded up all of those leaves and personally delivered to that guy's driveway! Hopefully while he was standing there slack jawed watching.

The Patriot👍👍👍👍

Beautiful home

Burn pile when the winds are just in the perfect direction 👌 😎

I might have asked him for help making a list of things on my property that were not up to regulations. And we could do a list of things for his property at the same time. Then see how he responds.

Hey Stanley, How are you? We meet a few years ago at the Las Vegas tool show convention. I have a tool called the B'root Bar Root Cutting Tool. I'm not sure if you remember, but it is a vertical axe used for cutting large roots were you can't use equipment. We have a few videos on You Tube if you want to see it again, and we have even had a few customers make their own videos on it. The landscapers in our area of South Florida say it's the tool their industry has been needing. It allows them to get under thorny bushes, cut the trees taproot, work in very tight areas, and more. I would like to send you one to get your input on it if you're still open to that?

As a tradsmen, (contractor)I never do help or jobs with neighbors. No thanks is always the answer.

Give me an Ole Double Clubber and a good Jake, any day over these new drive by wire!!

On the east side of my property line, it is a golf course HOA. I placed two forty foot containers twenty feet from my property line. Some guy from the HOA came over and blew up! Then he started ranting about me running chain saws and a skid steer all day long. I just looked at him and said "I am building a house here. Wait until I move in! Go Home!"

My experience most neighbors suck.

Neighbours are 100% a pain! Lady next door came to me wanted half a row of mature red Pine trees cut down. They were over hanging both of our homes, so I was game. The agreement was each would pay 50% of the $450 and I would hull the waste which is almost only time so we got the trees cut (the trees are just barely on my land). During the time the trees were coming down she went to the gym for 2hrs! After they were all cut down she was livid! I had the trunks cut into manageable lengths from 1 to 5 feet long depending on the diameter which was up to 34 inches. She had sold the three tree trunks for between $1200 and $1500! 2 were 30" calibre and the other was 26" all were almost knot free up to about 12 feet. Many unkind words were exchanged both directions, if I play FRACKEN Anglo Music like Bruce Springsteen she drags her kid in as he is not permitted to even hear English, then she throws stuff. She is Quebecois Francophone! Late in September I made a video for the city of her with one of her dogs on a leash, pooing her dog on my lawn and not picking that up! She just got a 3rd offence fine which should be well over $1000. The other two were not on my lawn! She doesn't know that she was caught on a video and won't as long as she pays the fine. She sold the dog, and had a big yard sale I know she was asking $900 on Facebook marketplace for that papered pup and likely got most as it sold in 3 days. We are at war and I can't wait for winter snowstorms! Often the snow naturally exceeds the height of my roof and I can direct the drifts towards her driveway at 12 feet or more deep on a good Nor'Easter!
