neighbor is super nosy

[Jimmy S.]

Hello,

I am building a new home and this will be my primary resident however the neighbor who sold me the building lot is now becoming super nosy and interfering with my contractors and almost harassing me and the contractors. He talks to them behind my back and I have gotten about 10 complaints about him so far. Hes always out there talking to him and slowing them down and talking crap about everyone. When I talk to him he seems ok but always stabs me in the back. He even roped off the property lines (4 feet into my yard) and put up no trespassing signs and private property signs everywhere. He has also reported me for parking my van on building lot and acts like he wants to be my friend. I cant even pull into the lot without him stepping out of his house and talking to me. Everyone in the neighborhood says he nuts and stay away from him. I tried being nice to him and this approach is not working at all. He even yelled at a few of the utility people for parking a couple feet on his driveway.

I talked to the township about him and they said he calls them 2 or 3 times week and its always complaining about something or some other neighbor weather, the grass is to high, to loud, to many cars on the property, property maintenance, cars not inspected, do they have a permit, ect... just a real pain. He does not work either so is always home and peaking/watching out the windows.  I have seen this before.

I will have to live next to this guy but hes making it really miserable so far and he sold me the lot and was not like this when I bought it from him.

Township wont do anything they said call the police but that seems a bit extreme but im not seeing any other option.  I have been trying to keep the peace but I have had enough and I think I need to stand my ground. 

What do you suggest?
