Fix your fence. Be the bigger man. Go on with your life without getting into some sort of grudge match that could drag out for years.

Haven't read the whole thread, but I'm willing to bet some people just want to tell you to stir shite...

...mainly because I wanted too as well.

Why am I not shocked you let a broken fence mature into a "feud".

Always escalate.

You’ll thank me later.

Are you angry enough to fight him in 9 rounds of bare-knuckle boxing? If you’re not angry enough to bare-knuckle box over it, then you’re really not that mad. If that’s the case, just be the bigger man and move the debris over four feet.

Just fix the fence. It will probably cost less than $15 and it's not a hard project. While you have your skill or table saw out finish another project you've been putting off. You can be the better person in this one. Matter of factly let the neighbor know you are fixing it but tell her the next fixing is on her.

You probably live in my neighborhood. It’s full of Karens who are currently bitching about a car wash being built on what was a blighted lot.

Life is too short to fight with your neighbors over petty shite. Don't put shite in his yard. Let him fix the fence if he wants to fix it.

Remove the patch from the fence. Then call animal control when their dog gets out.

Probably Not worth it.
Do not let them walk all over you, but unless it’s a big deal, I would let it go.

Avoid them.

They are petty.

Don’t wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it.

Host Key Parties for the cul de sac the next three or four consecutive weekends.

Get up in all of your female neighbors’ Gaza Strips good and win over the hearts and minds of them all.

Once you have them all on a string...

Profit.

If you do not need the fence take it down.

Then he will have to install a fence as it is not your problem that his dog needs to stay in his yard.

be the bigger person and let it go. you don't want a feud with somebody you have to live next door to. peace is often better than justice.

Send him an estimate to fix the fence. Otherwise, ignore him.

A friend back in Lake Chuck used to scoop the dog shiite out of his kennel and throw it over the fence into his neighbor's yard. The place was owned by his cousin but he couldn't stand her pompous husband and this began after she died.
