A Man Has Built A 250 Foot Wall of Poop After A Property Line Dispute With His Neighbor
LODI TOWNSHIP, Mich. (FOX 2) - A 250-foot long wall of poop divides two properties in Lodi Township.
Lambarth's grandfather developed the farm 100 years ago, but the property was divided, and there was a dispute over the property line last year.
That's when the manure appeared, close to the house.
What a shitty neighbor! Actually, I retract. That was the only way to start off a blog of this nature, but I actually LOVE the move by this guy. Should be the early frontrunner for Mind Your Own Business Award this year. Oh, you want to argue over the property line? Okay, tell me where to lay my 250 foot long poop wall. Wouldn't want to get any on your yard! But could you imagine the smell....? That's the thing that people seem to forget here: poop stinks.
Lambarth has tenants living in the house who are forced to deal with smelling the cow poop wall every day.
"It's like you can't leave the window open. The whole upstairs will smell like it," Coyne Gatto said.
Coyne Gatto, I feel bad for you. Can't crack the windows for fresh air. Can't play outside with your kids. Can't even open the door without smelling it. And to quote The Bronx Tale:
How can she get out of this situation except by bending the knee? She can't move. I know the real estate market is booming all over this country, but I'd have to imagine it's difficult to sell a house surrounded by a moat of poop. That's a fact that travels across all time periods. Trying to sell a house with a 250 foot poop wall next to it is like the Step Brothers scene on steroids….
Yeah I'm sure potential buyers are going to love this. Nope, this neighbor is now stuck. The only way out is to concede that she was wrong and change the property line back. That's the only way the poop wall gets removed.
***Sorry, I keep referring to it as a poop wall -- the neighbor who built it has clarified what it really is
When asked about the poop wall, the neighbor who built it said, "It's not a poop wall. It's a compost fence."
Hands down the best part of the entire story. A classic Billy Madison "He called the shit 'poop' situation". Poop walls are frowned upon, but a compost fence? That's just the way we live around here.
Now that is the best part of the story…..the worst part is that there is literally nothing anyone can do to fix this situation.
While the poop is a disgusting nuisance, local officials said nothing can be done about it because it is on the neighbor's property.
No way. I'm not brushed up on my Washtenaw County laws and regulations, but there's no way you can just build and/or do whatever you want on your property line, right? You can just build poop walls and get away with it in Michigan? Honestly probably doesn't change the smell up there near Ann Arbor too much, but still, I feel like we may need to amend the Constitution on this one. This law stinks!
