I agree with what you guys a are saying.

But for me it's the principle. Why should he get his nice fence to match his
home? We paid good money for our homes (still paying for the home lol). He
should have been a decent man and talked to me about it. What bothers me is
I could have put mine up before he moved in. But I gave him the benefit of
the doubt and said ok lets wait for him and see what happens.

Another thing I didn't mention is I'm up in Canada in the province of Quebec
where French is predominate language. I'm English and he is French so maybe
he feels this is his Province so he thinks he has more right to his own
fence than I did

But I do understand what you guys are saying. but you don't what it feels
like till you have it done to you.

IMO, no future in it. I've seen parallel fences, and they are always the
result of a fence-war up until someone violates a code and then all hell
really breaks out.

Have a brewski and go relax; enjoy your yard, relax, maybe invite him over
for a brew too.

If yo can't make that work, there's always "keep your friends close but
your enemies closer". It works.

Hi

I just bought a new home in a new Development. I moved in 1 month before
my neighbor on the right moved in. When I found out that the neighbors
moving in owned a fencing company I decided to wait for their home to be
finished building and for them to move in before putting up a fence. I
thought once they moved in we can discuss and talk what kind and color
fence to put between our homes. Once they moved in we talked for about 5
minutes about what kind of a fence and color.

Now my house is Light gray brick in the front and white siding and his
brown brick and brown siding. He decided on putting up a frost or wired
fence. but he chose brown for it. For my house I think white would go
perfectly. anyhow I mentioned to him why not black this way it will go
with his home and mine since black would match his brown house too.

Anyhow not 3 days later I left for work and he put up his brown fence
anyways. I called my kids at home and told them to pass the phone to them
and told them I would not pay them anything for the fence since the color
was not what I wanted.
He said fine don't worry about it.

I was and still am ****ed. He put the fence right on the line of our
land. My question is has anyone seen 2 fences side by side ?

I am planning on putting up my own fence on every side of me now. No more
Mr. nice guy anymore. People have said to me its his house he can do
whatever he wants so therefore I am going do whatever I want too.

SO question is has anyone seen 2 fences side by side and does it look
stupid ? I was thinking of putting a wood fence 5 foot high with a mesh
of a foot on top for a total of 6 feet. his fence is 5 foot tall. This
way he will have his nice brown fence that matches his home and then see
my wooden mesh of a foot above it.

I am not at war with him. I smile and talk very polite with him. But wait
till he sees what I'm goning to install and i'm going to do it when he is
at work to.

Anyhow I would like to hear your opinions on this situation. and if
anybody else has been in this situation and what did they do.

thanks very much
