Property divide issue

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Maybe he has put it up so it looks really bad on purpose, then you will be happy for him to take the wall down and have his nice fence put up.

BTW - did he want you to pay half to knock the wall down and replace with fence?

I think this is pretty close to the mark. Its provocative and he's rubbing it in by putting up an arsecrack of a fence to be a clever bastard. Don't bite and take it down, that's what he wants and probably expects

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I waiting to speak to him but no one home, that is the tenant is not home. I need to find out who done it and then speak to them.


Here is a pic of what I seeing

To be fair it's not that bad.Dont know how he's done it but if that's what you're looking at he's looking at the battens and fixings and a few climbing roses over that will look smart in a couple of years.

That's the point, he never discussed having the wall knocked down but when my wife clocked him on the verge of doing so and I spoke to him on the phone he did mention going half on the fencing then but nothing since. My last words to him were to knock on the door and we can talk.

I dont understand the not wanting to speak business. Talk and we can or could have resolved this no problem I reckon.

^^This. I honestly think that's reasonable. It would have been good manners if nothing else to ask/tell you first, but you are starting to sound a bit petty TBH with all the legal shit about half the width of a fence-post. Straight away it looks like that back window on his place would make it feel like a goldfish bowl when you and yours are in the garden - which like us all you probably have been during the good weather. I don't think it's anything more, and as has already been said he's had the manners to put the ugly nuts and bolts side in his garden.

An outdoor fireplace, you posh git.


Must say that extra wooden fence is out of charecter with a stone wall.

It looks fucking stupid. Even waneylap would have been better.

Fencing should be fixed vertically anyway not horizontally

Nail some waneylap to it.

Vertical and a really dark stain would have looked better

It really does! We have something very similar to this dividing the driveway/side yard and rear garden:

A smaller version of this on top of the wall here in the OP's garden would look good, if a fence is required. I've never seen a fence going horizontal like that either, not with what looks nothing other than floor boards at least. It's a bizarre choice.

I think it looks OK.

Its given you privacy in your own garden and its cost you nothing.

If you don't like the look of it, there's room on the wall to put your own fence or decorative woodwork in front.

Do you not need concrete posts with that?
The fence in our back garden needs replacing due to the wooden posts rotting, although I don't know what we would do in terms of cost as the adjoining side it a rented house.

No, ours is supported by wooden posts. I put the fuckers in the first day we moved in and that was 7 years ago. The only bit of proper DIY i've ever done that worked out!
