We had a nasty incident the other day with, we suspect, next doors large dog. Did a fair bit of damage to our small one, and took off back over the fence.
As a consequence my lady demanded an extension to the fence. Not only is the doggy (and our cats) now safe from further attack, I can no longer see next doors porch light or the street light on the other side of his house. Took all afternoon to cut and screw the extra 400mm of corrugated up there but it was worth the work. It's an ill wind......

I live in a rural residential area and as such streetlights are not required on the roads.

Fine by me and definitely no arguments.

Cheers

The street lights Pale into insignificance compared to the light from next door.
Its the neighbours who insist on leaving their outside backyard spot light on night after night after night, which points in my direction.

I cant ask them to turn it off as they already hate me for a number of other reasons....which started when their rampaging child repeatedly head butted my fridge on New Years Eve and put dents in it.....but thats another story....

I could sneak over and replace the globe with faulty ones that I could collect from my house....Until they give up replacing them.....Hmmmm that may work....
Or an Olympic sprint with a broomstick and a balaclava may also work.
