Anyone know fences?

Either way he should be picking up half the tab. I'd get another quote from one of our guys here (plenty folks looking for work right now) and go from there.

his kids damage you fence and wants you to pay for it. i suggest as others did a 50/50 split. OR install the next fence with sharp pickets.

As you've already been asked, how many feet are getting repaired. The $400 is a hell of a lot of money for ..say 20' of fence. But, if it's 90', it's a great deal.

This is why when I put my fence in I put the pretty picket side out - to keep others from climbing on MY fence. I also put it 1 - 2" inside the property line on the side that my neighbors would share (neighbor to the back didn't want a fence - until a year later when I already put in the back portion), and I had no neighbor to my side when I build the fence. I had to pony up the dough for the entire fence - but I put it in myself and I can guarantee the house is falling down before the posts do (long story here).

Of course, my fence pickets need to be replaced and I'll have to sneak onto my neighbors property when they are all gone to remove the pickets and install new ones.

Fences are costly and you can typically estimate double material cost minimum if someone else does the work.

Ownership of the actual fence dictates who is responsible for repairs unless a second party has caused damage to it.
Typically the side the post's are on is the ownership side. At least that is the way it was explained to me.

Sounds like I hung mine properly to reduce the claim of "my fence"/"your fence" without getting someone out to survey the property line.

Up above the picture in that post I answered how long. About 60 ft of fence. My tape measure is under a lot of crap at the moment and I havent actually measured it.

You just dont know how much I want that. More so, I want a house where my neighbor can not just look over the fence and bug me when I am in my back yard.

But is his old lady a hottie?



The reason I brought up the ownership issue and which side the posts are on- the pic you posted shows no posts.
If you follow the industry standard of "owner is posted" side and his kids are tearing up the fence you don't owe him a dime.

Yup. Re-read the thread and just saw it this time (how I missed it the first time I have no idea!).
