Now the two front neighbors

tell your neighbors to visit each other

I do feel bad about this b/c it was

a fence can be placed as close as 4 ft. from the street (where I am)

unless it is a corner lot.

The other option I thought of was to move the
| fence panels to the beginning of the line just start on the other side
| of the tree. That sounds good but that will cost money too. Money we
| don't have. I've thought about asking them to pay for the panels or
| the move, but I'm thinking this is just going to cause more trouble.
| Any thoughts or suggestions?

tell your neighbors
if they didn't help pay for the fence...............they have NO say in
the matter.

visit the local municapality about the trashed yard, there may be a
ordinance about it.

around here junk cant be seen from the street.

I would plant a row of fast growing bushes anywhere I want on my
property
