I've got a neighbor that won't cut a decent sized nuisance tree down that's on his property but infringes on mine, so I pay to have someone cut all the tree shite that's hanging on my property. The tree looks ridiculous with 1/2 of it buzzed on one side. Frick my neighbor.

Any OT experience/wisdom on the subject?
Yes, there is plenty of experience with normal, everyday, social conversations with neighbors.

Who would ever have a neighbor not named Bill? Crazy.

I built my own fence at my old house
Those powered up post hole diggers are amazing. My neighbor behind me used one to build his fence.

Chain link fences look shitty on both sides.

Why do people feel the need to put up a fence? That will look good for about 6 months then turns to shite soon after. Every fence I see in yards are blackened and warped. I can understand the whole pet thing, but I would almost prefer a chain link over that eyesore. JMO

I approached my neighbor, the same one who let his dogs out every day to come shite in my front yard, if he wanted to split the cost of the fence on our common boundary. He says no. He doesn't want a fence. That's cool, I say, I'm having it built in a few weeks. It gets built and two weeks later he gets the other two sides of his yard fenced.
That's when I started throwing his dog's shite back at his garage and front door. I don't miss that jackass! Fences make good neighbors and bigger fences make better neighbors!

Hey Bob I'm going to put up a fence on the property line, where do you think a good place for the walk through gate should go? And then put it where you want to.

i may be the biggest irl chicken shite on this board, except when i catch someone letting their animal take a dump in my yard and not bag it. i will angrily confront anyone who does this.

Yeah it usually starts with knocking on a door or approaching them if outside. Then it all depends on if you know how to communicate or not.

Just start sunbathing nude. He'll build it himself.

Yep, but we had to use the manual one for 2 or 3 of the post holes and it sucked.

People do it at our apartment all the time. There's a fricking stand with free poop bags and a trash can, but these douches can't be bothered to pick it up.

If he tied into your fence you should send him an invoice for half the cost of the shared fence you built.
In La he would legally be responsible for it.

This be true. If you are in LA, check out the Civil Code. There is an entire section devoted to shared walls and fences. Dates back to old NOLA and all the common walls between buildings. That stuff matters as to where exactly you put the fence relative to the property line, who pays for what, who can attach things to the common boundary, etc.

If you are building the fence alone with no funding from your neighbor, the fence should (must) be built inside the property line, on your property. Hence, the fence is yours, and you build what you want (as long as its permissible by code). If you make the mistake of building the fence on the property line (or over the line), then the fence technically isn't yours...or at the very least, you have an encroachment issue that the neighbor might look to enforce in court. By all means, get a survey, and be absolutely sure of the fence's placement on your property.
If you choose, talk to your neighbor first. They may have been considering a fence as well, and would welcome the chance to split the cost with you. Be aware, though, that in a cost-splitting arrangement, you will lose the autonomy to build what you want.
Personally, I would never ask a neighbor to share in the cost, and I would make darn sure that the fence is on my property. I would want to retain control rights, and be free to make whatever changes to the fence I might choose in the future (tear it down, rebuild something else, etc.). If the fence is "shared", those rights become quite muddled, especially if your current neighbor moves. Believe me, you don't want to get into a property rights dispute with someone who bought the property from your current neighbor and who has a survey showing the fence is on the property line (or worse), and who thinks the fence "is theirs". Avoid the headache, build it with your own money, and make damn sure it's on your property.

This is why you talk to him now.

When I bought my house I fenced-in the entire back and side yards and didn't bother checking with any neighbors.
I did voluntarily reverse the boards on one side because that neighbor stuck me as somewhat anal.
Good fences make good neighbors.
