RE last question- Are the whitewashed windows abandoned? more information?

The garage is detached,the otherside of the window is my neighbours yard. He whitewashed the windows for privacy . The previous owners let it go, as they used the garage as a garage, I would like to convert the garage and use it as a liveable room.we moved in 2003.They have objected to everything we try to do!

Answers:
There's a few pieces of information missing to make this a good question. I'm understanding that they painted the windows of your detached garage that is next to their yard, for purposes of privacy? That's the part I don't understand. That whole thing doesn't make sense.
It's important to be in agreement with your neighbors. I'm sure if you guys go and talk to them rationally they might be OK with whatever idea you have. Otherwise I don't think there's a limit on what you can reasonably do in your property.

Other answers:
If they want privacy they should build a fence. If it is your garage and your property you can do what ever you want.
