Have you considered that he could have mental health problems? Most people who choose to live a reclusive lifestyle do so for a reason.
Maybe you could put a note through the door offering to help with the garden? Whatever you do, please tread carefully - if he is poorly, if he feels anyone is invading his space (and his perception of this may be very different to yours), that could make him more ill.
Does he have any visitors?
yes, I think this may be the case, he is young and physically healthy I have seen him a couple of times coming out at night carrying boxes or something, so its not like he's too poorly or anything. this is why I am reluctant to just sort some of it out myself. I don't know how he might react. I have knocked on his door to take round post but he never answers. Yo're right about treading carefully I surely dont want to upset him.
I would however like to sell my house next year and I'm afraid noone will buy it because of him. When we bought it it wasn't nearly as bad...
He never has any visitors at all so its hard to know exactly what is wrong with him...0 -
Speak to your local Councillor about raising a 'untidy land issue'. We run this down here but I must admit it is not a fix in a week and may take months.
Speak to your local age concern group or even the C.A.B as he might not be getting all the help he needs.
Take some time out and knock on his door and never judge from the outside.If You See Someone Without A Smile......Give Them One Of Yours0 -

How can a person SNEAK out of his own house. It's up to him how he enters or leaves carrying whatever or whenever.0

I didn't say there was anything wrong with that at all just saying he is young and healthy0

Its his lifestyle choice...Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

sounds like a drug dealer / pot head to me - are you sure they are weeds in the garden :rotfl:0

I don't think there's much you can do apart from cutting anything that overhangs your garden. If you think the house is so bad that there may be infestations, contact your local Council for advice.
Good luck - it would get me down too." The greatest wealth is to live content with little."
