If the old fence needed replacing would it have been hard to convince
the neighbors?

The old fence was chain link. Two of the four have wood fences on their
property blocking the chain link. I had a stockade fence leaning on it.

I have four "fence neighbors" and they did not need convincing when we
had to replace the fences. None objected to sharing the cost.

But is he going to get all four to agree to his design? So that he can
achieve his desired consistency? Plus his fence is a rather expensive cedar
one. See: http://donwiss.com/pictures/misc/535-2nd-Side-Fence.jpg

This is a shared fence that several neighbors have put up:

Note dramatic cost difference. I noted earlier that this new back yard
neighbor is spending over $1 million on his renovation. This is on top of
paying $2.4 million to buy the house. I doubt that saving a few dollars is
a big concern.
