What a funny neighbor!

The house next to me had been vacant for more than 3 years, someone has just bought over the house last year, and the house owner started to do a big renovation to the house. The renovation has been held from July 08 to Jan 09, it's almost the whole period where I was staying at home and pregnant. It was really very noisy and also it has brought quite a trouble to me, as they knocked down the fence in between, and it made my house has water dripping issue and also my gate was not able to open for months. I have contacted the owner many times, she didn't seem to be responsible, though she has promised me many times she'd fix it for me.... Finally, we have given up waiting for her to fix my problems, and we plan to fix it by ourselves. Since we may become neighbors, and she doesn't seem to be responsible, we can't do anything for it. Just now, when we brought our dog for a walk and when we came home, we saw a board putting on her gate, stating "For Sale". Well, I really found it funny, as she did a really huge renovation, spent much time and money on the house, at last she decided to sell the house. (Previously she told me she's going to move in and stay here.) I am not sure whether she can get a buyer very soon due to the economy now, also she has made quite huge renovation and the new design of the house doesn't seem to be practical and nice too. Perhaps I should be glad that she's selling off the house, as she will not become my neighbor. Sometimes, it's not so easy to get good neighbors, though I always try to have good relationship with them. Not everyone is considerate about others.
