Current Events > Finally getting close to the end of this solar project

(+) Yeah! (+)

There have been so many delays and repeated steps. Tesla has submitted the final application to the utility company and it has been approved. From here, it will take 2 to 3 weeks to be put on the schedule, and then the actual appointment should be within 5 to 6 days of that.

So hopefully mid to late November, I'll finally be generating solar power.

I thought you meant like commercial solar generation and I was suddenly wondering what company you were contracting with.

I have a vague memory of you throwing a hammer at your neighbor?

No, he accosted me out of the blue one day because he thought I sent sales people over to his house to sell him stuff, and assumed I was associated with "shady black people walking around in the neighborhood." He insisted he had me on camera, but when I asked to see the video, he said he couldn't find it. He apologized about 30 minutes after that incident, but I've still been trying to avoid interacting with him.

A couple weeks after that, I had Tesla out to my house to install the solar roof. They dropped something off of my roof onto his A/C unit, which caused some damage. I went over to tell him about it, but he wasn't home. A couple weeks later, he came over to ask about it. He asked me what they dropped. I told him I didn't know because I was inside the house when it happened. He assumed I was just trying to hide stuff for some reason and demanded an answer. I again told him I didn't know, but he wasn't satisfied with that. In my mind, it didn't matter what they dropped. Could have been anything, but Tesla owned up to it and they agreed to pay the full cost of repairs. So I told him it might have been a hammer, but I wasn't sure. He seemed upset that I said it might have been a hammer because "a hammer wouldn't do that." I again told him it was just a guess.

Fast forward a couple weeks later, he's got an appointment for the A/C company to come out and repair his A/C unit. He apparently told the A/C company it was a hammer. The A/C company told him a hammer couldn't have done it. He got mad at me for "telling him it was a hammer," even though I told him it was just a guess and repeatedly said I didn't know. "You shouldn't have said that then because I told them what you said," he responded. I just shrugged it off because he seems to have selective hearing and a selective and somewhat imaginative memory.

Tesla has since paid for the entire cost of fixing his A/C unit. I thought that was the end of my interaction with him, but it wasn't. He parked his car in front of my house and blocked half of my driveway a few weeks ago. I could still get in my driveway by going up the other half, so I didn't think it was a huge deal. He had his family over, so I didn't think about it much. He was overly apologetic and moved his car immediately, and was so nice in that moment that I became suspicious.

A few days later, he told me that he installed a light fixture on the outside of his house with the intention of lighting up the alley between our houses, but the light just shines into my windows upstairs. Again, I didn't think it was a big deal. I hadn't even noticed it because it's just the game room and I don't have much in there other than my workout machine, so I'm not in that room very often.
