Asking your neighbor to pay for something he is not responsible for is trashy;

I rebuilt my fence last spring, a significant upgrade from the cheap shite that the contractor had originally installed, according to HOA rules, I didn't need permission from neighbors(adjoining,) nor were they obligated to pay, after I was just about finished with mine, the next door neighbor asked if I would have my contractor do his(he didn't realize that I was doing it myself,) I told him that I would split the cost of the run that was on our property line but everything after that was "for profit," I did six of the neighbors fences before I finally had to shut it down, mad quite a bit of money for what began as a weekend project, no one quibbled about the price, they just asked how much did they owe me, still have people coming up to ask about getting their fence rebuilt
