Sometimes it seems a real pain in the ass to live in a big city and especially in a well reknown neighbourhood. Than you face with rules, rules, rules. You can not create your homes' outside look the way you want, you must have the order of things the way some "wiser" people think. I am happy to come from a smaller country (like Republic of Macedonia), where you don't have to bother so much with what someone else thinks about your yard and where, per instance, you can use the shiny sun as much as you want, and dry your clothes fulfilled with sunbeam. A 49-year-old lady Melinda Hackett has had problems with that kind of neighbor that was so boring that minded a fairy-tale t! ree-house that was in her proper yard. Hackett lives in the historic Manhattan neighborhood where legendary Mark Twain per example lived. Few years ago, she built a tree-house for her daughters in her Greenwich Village backyard. And , I suppose some good neighbor of hers didn't have a smarter thing to do one day and decided that he couldn't stand anymore that lovely view of the cedar tree-house, and called the police. But, lady Hackett simply didn't want to give up the fight and ruin her girls joy. She fighted few years in the courtrooms for that and finally succeeded. The thing is, the area where the tree-house is is a district with landmark status. It is interesting that the house where Hackett lives dates from 1860s and she had bought it from famous singer David Byrne. Who would believe that she would have so much headache only because of a tree-house, five years ago when she moved from rural parts of New York?
