What an A-hole. Guess he can’t afford a saw.
And those damn screws.
I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts
Check where you are, because come on, that’s the whole point of this community
The 3 inch nails protruding through the rails are much more complaint-worthy than the too-tall pickets.
I don’t know if you meant for it to come off this way or not, but to me it reads like you’re saying people who own homes shouldn’t complain about small things. Someone else always has it worse. That doesn’t mean those who are better off have no right to complain about things that annoy them (especially on the community made for complaining about mildly infuriating things).
I think it’s the fact OP is calling their neighbor an asshole for fixing their fence in a less than perfect way that really irked me. I get annoyed when privileged people want to play the victim; it’s something I know I should work on, but right now it’s a part of my character.
What screws?
It’s not just the posts. The neighbor used nails that are way too long. IMO that’s a safety hazard.
Fuck that. Hit them with a hammer until the points are flush with the fence and the heads stick out on his side. It’s your yard and property…
EDIT: Never mind, it looks like the fence wasn’t exactly on the property line…
Right… But they used the wrong nails and they now extend past the fence (and property line, I’m assuming). What if they had used 12-inch nails? 3-foot ones?
or just cut the exposed part of the nails using an oscillating tool? No need to be petty.
Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.
