Day 145 - Fence dispute

Those who know me in person or on Facebook - please do not read on. You have had a gutful of my fence woes. Spare yourself the repetition. Our neighbours have written a letter demanding that we replace the fence and pay for the whole thing because our 'inappropriate vegetation' has ruined the fence. Yes, we did have a passionfruit growing here, but after we took it off, the fence collapsed in most parts. It was actually holding it up. I estimate the fence to be over 30 years old. I'm not looking forward to court, but if that's what it takes, I hope that will settle the dispute and allow us to pay our half.

  1. What a mess! Hope you don't have to go the litigious route, but sometimes an outside judgment is the only alternative. Still, it's difficult with neighbors you see daily...

  2. Fences are a shared expense between neighbours - that's the law. What a pain for you to have such unfortunate naighbours.

  5. Great spelting, Pam.
    Susan, what does that phrase even mean? That we can be civil if we have the correct boundaries?
