Anytime did a sewer line job on the neighbors property that backs up to my property (the houses are back-to-back...no fence). Since access to the job was easier from my property, they asked if they could park in the cul-de-sac, run a backhoe up my driveway to their property, do the job on the weekend, and run the backhoe back out. I agreed. Over the next several weeks (yes, weeks) I would occasionally find a pickup or two parked in my driveway while they worked this job. Since it wasn't overly intrusive, I didn't worry about it. One night I came home and found a large equipment trailer (think large horse trailer) parked in my driveway next to the house. I called the number on the trailer and left a voicemail. Someone stopped that night to apologize for it being there and that it would be gone by 7:30 the next morning (I later learned that this equipment belonged to a subcontractor - Olson Plumbing - working on Anytime's behalf). Turns out it was a compressor that ran all night. The next afternoon it was still there when I returned home. I called the number on the trailer to have it removed, which was done that night. The next morning there were workers in my driveway stretching out sewer line lining and backing a van up my driveway. I informed them I was done having them use my property for access and work area and asked them to use the easement if they needed needed some space. I was told it would only take 30 minutes and it was the only way they could do the job. I called Anytime and asked when they would be done with the job and they confirmed the next Monday they would be filling in the hole and neither they nor any subcontractors would need to be there again. When I got home Monday night, the backhoe and an additional bobcat was parked up against (but not, technically on) my driveway and Anytime's truck was parked in the cul-de-sac at the other end of my driveway. I called the next morning and told them they were no longer authorized to use my property for access or to perform work. The woman that took down the information indicated she would bring it to the Office Manager and get it taken care of. When I returned home, the hole where the work was done was filled in, the backhoe was on the street at the end of my cul-de-sac, I had a puddle of fluid in my driveway, two lines of fluid dripped the length of my driveway, and tire tracks of fluid the length of the driveway from driving through the puddle of fluid. My cable/internet also wasn't working that night. The cable company indicated it looked like the line was cut. I'll let you do the math. Since the first weekend, I was never asked to continue using my property for any purpose.
