"Ah, Neighbours Continued..."

So it's August 14th and there has been no resolution to the fence issue. Still waiting and waiting and waiting. Another email sent today with a bonus topic.

Garbage. Yes, Garbage. I went outside about an hour ago. I needed to get into my garage, I needed to exit out my gate, but I couldn't. Why? Well...






Did I mention, that the neighbour said this fence was fine? He even said it's 30 years old and the maintenance over the years has worked, and even his tenants have backed into it a couple of times and it's still standing. Well, since most fences are only good for 15 years or so with no one backing into them, and with posts at a depth of 4 ft instead of the current 2 ft depth, and built without the majority of weight on one side (my side), I think it's reasonable to build a new fence that doesn't have boards hanging off of it and exposed nails everywhere.

I even offered to pay for the labour and he'd have to pay for only half the cost of materials. He jumped on that, but still wanted all the licensing proof, and insurance proof, etc my landscaper has, without even knowing how much my landscaper was going to charge. Control anyone?

Well, I asked for the couch that was thrown in front of my back gate to be moved as soon as possible and for him to let me know about the fence. I also provided him the above photos as well. Yes, documentation is good. The story continues...Oi.

  1. Well, not even half an hour after I emailed my neighbour did the maintenance man knock on my door. That was very nice to see. Unfortunately, everyone in the neighbourhood seems to think this garbage bin is their dumping ground, which I kind of suspected. I wish more people had a greater sense of responsibility. Glad to see my neighbour has some.
