Haha. Feline is a not-weak-not-powerlifter gal with no strong male friends.

I like the idea of the railroad tie, and I even have some in the vacant lot behind my place, but cutting it would be a beast, and (naturally) it’s not a clean angle. There’s a minicurb under the main one that’s uneven and broken away, which is why they added the gravel.

I’m thinking concrete is my best bet.

All this construction talk of railroad ties and concrete seems way too much like work. I know they say a little work never killed anybody, but why take the chance? May I suggest a simple cup of sugar in his gas tank and all of your problems will be solved. Further, since you describe him as sketchy, which I believe, he will probably think one of his sketchy friends did it to him as pay back. Just smile and listen to his tale of injustice as he tells you how expensive cleaning an entire fuel system is. Wish him luck next time, and maybe give him a locking gas cap as a sign of neighborly concern. Its a whole lot easier than busting your ass on a weekend when you could be watching football or something just as useful. My ten cents.

well, there is also treated lumber if a railroad tie is too unweildy. Treated lumber can be bought in small sizes, stacked, then rebar through. Would need a drill to make holes for the rebar.

1) Get approval from the landlord to remove the curb.

2) Go to the local home improvement store and buy a big sledge hammer.

3) Offer said sketchy neighbor a pizza of his choice and a six-pack of his choice to knock the curb out of the way.

Win-Win!

Well that right there is your problem. You need some strong male friends.
