FU To Our New Neighbors!

[Mrs. Moosen]

In February FOM and I got new neighbors. They seemed nice enough when I introduced myself and welcomed them to the land of white picket (actually more like 6 foot stockade) fences. His name is Tom and hers is Liz; nice, young couple, no kids, just how I like it.

Then they put up "their" fence. You see, what they did was use our existing fence as their own on the adjoining side of our property and simply put up fencing perpendicular to the existing fence. I wouldn't normally have a problem with this except that:

A. Our fence sits in from said property line by 12-18 inches so that we would have access to it for maintenence such as staining and weatherproofing. I know this for a fact because we had the property surveyed before the fence was put up, and I made sure the crew from Mr. Fence set the damned thing back that far. Obviously Tom and Liz didn't have their survey done and just assumed that my fence was right on the property line.

B. They never asked if it was okay with us to use our fence as their own. Therefore no agreement was made as to who would maintain and or repair the fence when and if it needed it.

C. They are using our property, and blocking us from getting to the outside of our fence without using their property. Which I would ask to use BEFORE I just traipsed through their yard with wood stain in hand.

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!! It's just frustrating. If they had simply asked, I would have no problem with what they did provided they agreed to:

A. Keep "their" side of the fence stained and weatherproofed.

B. Pay for repairs to any damage done by them or their guests.

C. Move their fencing should we decide to sell and the buyers didn't agree to the above terms.

Now I (we) have to try to find a somewhat diplomatic way to approach them on this which I don't look forward to.

So for that Tom and Liz, here's a nice heart felt FU!:exorcist::moon::exorcist:

Make sure you bring Mr. Muscle along for intimidation.

No (rude of them) and no (we never even see them outside).

I thought you two said you like banging in the backyard....... oh, the 6' privacy fence.


Just sounds like you have to go over and have a calm conversation and point out an error. I'm sure they'll recitfy the situation..... unless they are cocks.....

Looks like we'll have to do just that.
Like I said, I never see them outside so I've never met them yet. This is going to be one hell of an uncomfortable introduction.

I hate neighbors. For 2-1/2 years I've lived next to a treed lot. A few months ago they knocked down all the trees and built a house. The new neighbors move in with their 3 kids at the end of this month. Hope they like my dogs. :fire:

Oh yeah, and they'll have the same situation. Their lot is fenced on 3 sides by neighboring houses.

I feel for you. The one run down house in my town is next to mine. The people are scary and the house looks like it's going to collapse any minute, unfortunately, it won't.

Just be nice, and tell them that you were going to do some work on your fence, but now you can't. Use a joking tone and see how they respond.

:Knocks:

Hi, I live next to you. :Shuffles feet: I hate to meet you like this, but ya kinda fucked up. We intentially had our fense built a foot and half off of the property line... for maintance purposes, and you have built onto our property.....
