Default Neighbors Shed

This is my second option. I do have a big tree in front of some of it.

It is right on the property line, but the overhang is on my property.
I don't mind that as I have a small Yorkie and we can both stand
underneath it in the rain, and she stays dry.

I am not a troublemaker, and never had a problem with a neighbor.

My yard is immaculate, and it would be oh so much nicer if the shed were
painted.

I won't be doing anything without asking, and will wait another year .
I cannot imagine them putting it off longer than this as the house is in
bad need of siding repair.

Thanks.

The problem is that the neighbors don't see it. They have a fence

of the fence.

They cannot even see the back of the shed unless they come
into my back yard. In fact, the overhang of the roof is on my
property line, but that does not bother me.

Seems to me they should be the one cleaning up their property, but
I know what you mean.

Looks like a situation that could start WW3 ) I would not paint it,
but the whole issue could be real complicated. Is it on your property?
If so, probably gives you more right to paint it, but then they might
someday own that little piece of land. If it is on the line, and a
permanent building, it might violate setback or easement requirements.
It may not be practical, but I think it would be better to plant a hedge
that hides it or add fencing to cross what is missing and paint to match
existing fence.
