I'm of the belief that what they don't know won't hurt them. You aren't
planning on taking away from the value of their shed so just do it. They'll
never know. I firmly believe it's much easier to get forgiveness than
permission.

This might be true, is probably true sometimes, about parents, or
maybe spouses or children or siblings.

But if you think it is true of neighbors, you are so wrong. They will
likely never forgive her and will certainly never trust her.

And no matter what other people have said, she'd be breaking the law.
It won't just be those neighbors who won't trust her.

I'm much more willing to work with someone asking my permission, than I am when
I'm confronted with a fait accompli. So I beg to differ.


They have little motivation to paint back there. They can't see it and it would
involve an invasion of your yard for them to access it.

If so, they would ask permission before doing it. The OP can save
them time and give htem permission when she brings the subject up.

Avoid all the hassle
and just take care of the problem with no fanfare.



A recipe for a rotten relationship with a neighbor.
