[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New neighbors moved into the house and thought our shared fence was their fence and took it down because they wanted to see our 'pretty yard."  We were away when this happened and they had the fence hauled away.  We re-installed the fence with not a penny from them and about three months later they "accidentally" put a tiki torch to close to the fence, we think in an effort to burn it down.  Because the fence was of pressure treated wood, it did not burn but did get large black scorch marks on "their" side of the fence.  They have begged us to allow them to pay to replace that part of the fence or to paint it.  We have said no, and they finally built a new section of fence along ours to block their burning efforts.

Ah...fence...I had an issue with one.  The fence is on my property by about 6", according to the survey.  My neighbor wanted a higher fence, so he bought PVC fencing segments, and attached it to the fence.  It looked horrible.  I tried to talk to him, but he insisted he was in the right, and he would not have to do that if my yard was nicer.  Well, I called the fence police (code enforcement in the Town of Vienna), and he came out.  My neighbor was surprised to find there are standards with fences, and he is not allowed to put a fence on my property.  He found out that he had to post in the fence, not just tie it to my fence....

I gave him permission to post it in correctly, at the current fence line but the cost was too high to properly install it.  So he took it down.  My chain link fence continues to rust to this day.  FWIW, my house is now a tear down, and we are probably moving this summer.[/quote]

Man, you don't sound like much of a neighbor yourself.[/quote]

Hint:  Don't kick the bees nest.  You just might get stung.
