Haven’t lived in a house since I was 18 except for a few short months before grad school I moved in with my parents. Everyone down their street is family, so it was different.

Should we introduce ourselves?
What is an acceptable time to cut the grass?
Should I hang my Trump flag?
Do I invite them over to drink while I BBQ?

Dont let your kids break the neighbors fence with the mower. Or he’ll start a thread about you on Tigerdroppings.

Suns up, blades down

Also you should put your trash across their property line

All of that depends on the neighborhood.

But don't mow your lawn before 9am. That's chickenshit.

No.
Dawn to dusk.
Sure.
Not necessarily.

Figure out if your neighbors are assholes or not before you introduce yourself.

Assert dominance by throwing an empty beer can in your neighbors yard and banging his wife.

Place your garbage 4 feet over the neighbor's property line

As soon as the first box is opened, go out on the front step and clean and oil a shotgun or other long rifle. Make a good first impression.

None of that matters, just put your free weights in the drive way and make a LOT of eye contact

Leave your neighbors alone honestly. You will meet them and get to know them organically. Don’t be a pain in their arse and they will probably get to know you sooner or later.

I dunno about a Trump flag but an American flag would be legit. Congrats on the house

If you don't immediately whip your dick out and piss off the porch, they will know you are weak and take advantage of your wife.

Thursday while I'm at work

Put a sign in the yard with spike strips

Only if you're wearing these.
