They have a survey. I also have a survey from the same surveyor. I showed
them where the line was. But they went ahead and did this in order to
have
the entire top fit behind a phone pole that is on their property. Had
they
not faced the good side towards themselves, it would not have been an
issue.

All that is on my property are the 4x4 posts and the top. Do I have the
right to slice the posts and top right at the line? The fence back is
attached to the fence sides, which would give it stability. The reason
for
doing this is the properties are staggered. I'm adding a fence to the
back
where this fence isn't, and it won't line up.

I know I have the right to cut off tree limbs that hang over. But do I
also
have the right to cut back a fence that is hanging over?

I'm surprised you haven't yet mentioned how much you are paying in
property tax for that 1-1/2 inch strip of land you can't use and moan
about your neighbor not offering to reimburse you that amount each year.

Hi,
I am just glad I live in a 7 house Cul de Sac. We're all getting along
very well. No problems.
