re: Fence issue with neighbor

Forgot to ask if you're neighbor's neighbors on the other side and behind him have fences and, if so, do they tie into his or are do they have the 8 inch gap between as yours will?

Your fence should look like this

Look at it this way. If you go ahead and build a new fence along your property by his fence,it will clearly be yours, and will also provide your dog one layer of protection in case he likes to dig out, too.

I have shared fences with neighbors,but there are times I wish I had fences that are all mine. It makes maintenance of them easier for me.

Why build a new fence just to have 8" of dead space to grow?

Exactly how would you propose he tie in the other fences

Thread is too long. What ended up happening?

You are going to have to pay him if you want his 8 inches. Mikelbr can explain the process.

Build your fence taller than his and right on your property line. Complain to hoa when the gap between the two fences is overgrown.

Also, be loud when you're in the backyard about admiring how superior your fence is. Maybe you could invest in a bullhorn to proclaim your superiority. Bang his wife? Bang him? Whatever floats your boat. Establish dominance.

he put his fence 8 inches back onto his property and didn't want my fence to touch his.

Build a Wall then.

Neighbor behind me and I split cost of a new fence between our properties. Neighbor on the other side of me split cost of a new fence between our properties.

I built a 2' high retaining wall on my property line next to the bitch neighbor. Now, it's a leaf and twig trap for the worms and bugs to work on and eventually chew up her cedar fence pickets. Not my fault that leaves and dirt fall in there when I'm blowing them from my yard. That's just mother nature at work. I'm not obligated to let her yard guy come in to clean it up, either, so tough fricking luck for her.

Does she still complain to you?
