The plastic piping comes in whatever length you want it and it's
inexpensive.

Yeah, but this wasn't that way for 16 years. It was just created by
the neighbor redirecting a point source of water directed right at
this guy's legally placed shed near the property boundary. I'd
certainly go talk to him, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna kiss his
ass, say thank you Sir and offer to help pay for and offer labor for a
remedy. If he won't cooperate, and change what he just implemented,
then I'd go to code enforcement.

I see this situation as totally different than say a row house
situation, where rain water may have gone one way or another for
decades, but now a neighbor wants to implement a better solution. In
that case, I would cooperate, help, etc.
