Problem with next door neighbor: The Bully & the Fence
Comments (176)Actually these threads do help others going through similar situation . May things like badmouthing, threatening, watching and recording everything seem to be common behaviors of these bullies. I stood down and let them even change my downspout on my house. Ignoring made them react more and more. I would say I learned deal with first issue first time.

Comments (32)For the life of me, I couldn't understand why anyone would even be motivated to move their wires so far in to adjoining properties, because that would allow their animals to be in somebody else's property and if those adjoining homes had any problems with the animals being there, it negates the reason to even install one. I Googled around about those underground fence systems, and found some manufacturers state the perimeter area has to be at least 500 feet, or they may not work properly. On a smaller city lot, I can see where some people who wish to use them don't have enough ground to do a proper installation. OK, so that's probably why they trespassed their system so far in several directions. If they got permission, that's one thing. If they didn't, I wouldn't trust them any further than I could throw an anvil. What else would they do, to make life more convenient for themselves? There are wireless systems they could have used, but those are more expensive. So, they save a few bucks by using somebody else's property? It's a danged shame when folk have to worry about what presumptive people like that think, or worry about feuds or retributions. You shouldn't have to pussy foot around and send anyone anonymous letters to inform anyone. If the folks who laid the line were forthright and honest, it wouldn't make a difference if you told the other property owners because they'd already know. It's called consideration in a social situation. Without permission it's also illegal....See MoreFence next to neighbors tree
Comments (24)The city just removed a huge tree from in front of my home, leaving a plot & said, even though it's a city street, it's my responsibility as the homeowner to repair that part of the sidewalk, out of pocket(will not get reimbursed), then I am worried that the semi-attached neighbor, who has moved in 5 yrs ago, continues to do construction & destruction of my health & home from heavy construction(no permits) & toxic fumes 24/7, with no relief when the police, fire, emts, gas/electric companies, plumbers, licensed contractors are hired to make repairs & I'm under drs' care for irreversible lung & nerve damage, high blood pressure & other ailments due to the stress, that they show no courtesy, common decency, continue to do construction all week & weekends all hours, that they had a back fence tied to my chain linked, aluminum slate fence & hired contractors to replace it with a vinyl fence, without informing me, until the contractors were sawing their old fence without regard for my fence until I spoke to them. Now I noticed these neighbors may be putting in a tree, bushes or fence in their front yard, blocking my air rights, or they're going to put a fence on my property, as my small brick fence around the front garden was moved in about 4 -5 inches from the corner of my brick porch as to avoid the attached neighbors from saying it was hanging over their property, they were measuring yesterday. What are my rights? What can I do?...See MoreFence with neighbor: horizontal redwood vs vertical white
Comments (5)Often the best way to approach a dual garden fencing issue is with what is commonly called a "good neighbor" fence - that is, a fence with boards alternating on both faces so that the appearance is the same on both sides of the fence. Obviously the alternating boards make them not seamless but they still retain a very high degree of privacy. And they can be both vertically or horizontally oriented. Is the cost of the new fence to be shared? Vertical good neighbor fence: Horizontal good neighbor fence:...See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
