Hate to do it, but...

My neighbor behind me had a fence that was 5' high and blew down during the winter. He put up a snow fence until fall. When fall came I offered to pay half for the fence but asked to have a 5' fence with a 1' lattice top. I have a swimming pool, so wanted more privacy. Well low and behold the neighbor (an engineer) stated he didn't want my money or my help. No problem.....

The fence gets designed and installed. 6x6" posts with 2x6" top/bottom/middle stringers with fence boards only on my side. Hmm ugly on his side, but ok. Township comes out to inspect. FAILS! The middle 2x6" makes it too easy to climb over for the pool. So he has to now put fence boards on his side with no more than a 1" gap between the boards. I offered to pay half and he accepts this time. Now the fence is great, but it's only 5'.

The best part now is he built the fence 1' into his yard compared to the property line as he wanted to own the fence. Extra 1' over 90' for me. Best part now is he has installed a hot tub. Glad the 5' fence is what he went with as his 22yr old daughter and her friends are always out there.
