ok, i am in the process of replacing the fence running along the back of my yard. i asked the lady that lives there if she is interested in sharing just the cost of materials. i would provide the labor DIY! she basically ignored me, and when i persisted she said she didnt speak english! damn! oh well, in the spirit of doing the job on my own simply to keep my houdini dog in the yard, i started the work. the lady asked me (in decent english) why was making so much noise. she had this pissed off look on her face. i said i was replacing the fence. she said "NEW?" i said yes. she sorta smiled and walked away. OK here is the question. after pulling out my civil engineering geekness, i discovered the existing fence is on her side of the property line by 1 foot. so i set the new post on the correct line. it was easy i had a five foot offset from some gas company easement. in order to stay a dog owner, i will have to tear out her fence, and put up mine in one day. then it dawned on me! couldnt i just build the fence on the property line without even touching her piece of schit fence? would i be a A-hole if i just built the fence and left her with her teetering POS? i would have alot of extra work tearing down her fence and hauling it off to the dump. dump fees, blah blah blah. i would have to carry the pieces around 250 yards to my truck. what d'ya think?
