Neighbor is complaining about soot damage

[wotavidone]

Hi Pete,
Try these - SA EPA documents aimed at wood heaters, but they've got some useful tips. In particular, they don't like rain caps. They recommend a different bit of gear for keeping the water out. The recommendations on heights/siting the flue etc would go along way toward defending any complaints you might get. Invite the neighbour over for a bite of pizza while browsing these documents and she'll be apples mate.

I've read this thread and .. you've got a nutbar for a neighbour!!!...plain and simple . We have watched in horror as friends in our rural part of Canada have struggled with crazyneighbours who ..fire guns off their porch .. but only when you are walking by .. put roofing nails in your laneway .. pour substances down your well ... and worse.. I propose you get those noise reducing headphones , put up a fence and carry on .. sorry to say this, but nothing you can say or do will ever '' fix it'' with someone who just plain crazy.
my sympathy
