Building A Fence - Little Secrets

By: Paul Zayer

Living in the city has its advantages of course but you have to deal with neigbors. One excellent method to keep good relations with a neighbor is to have a fence between your yards when it comes to living in a tight neighborhood. In most cases, this is the truth. But there are times when you can have big problems by building a fence, and a few years ago, this was something I witnessed first hand. It wasn't my yard, as I was a renter, but it did affect my life because I lived in the house in question.

My proprietor decided that it was a good idea to build a fence between his property and the property of the guy who lived next to us. Robert was a nice enough guy, but he always wanted to complain to my landlord about something. He was particular about his yard, and we just couldn't seem to live up to his standards. My landlord believed that if he constructed a fence he could not look into the yard all of the time and he would just stop complaining. The fence would have also given us with some privacy. My brother liked to come by and use my yard for sunbathing and Robert always seemed to find urgent things to do in his back yard when this happened.

When it came down to it, building a fence became a huge task. Even though Robert did never liked what was happening in our yard, he was not in favor of the building of the fence. Too bad for Robert, whether he wanted it or not the fence was going up. As I never really spent much time out there, it did not matter to me either way. The major problems that Robert seemed to have with us was that we only mowed the grass once a week, and at times we did not utilized a weed-eater around the edges. Building a fence seemed like a sane idea to everyone but Robert.

My landlord brought in someone to go about building a fence for the property and Robert had a fit. He was insisted that the fence would be going onto his property and would be going exactly through his oak. My proprietor asked for the property records and he asked that the lines between the properties calculated to be sure he wasn't building a fence on Robert's property. For a long period, Robert fought every step and managed to delay things. I am not sure what happened later since I moved out shortly after and left the region completely. If it wasn't such a long trip I would be tempted to go have a look and see if the fence ever was build or if Robert was right.
