    I've always found claymores to be a subtle and classy touch as well.

    no...hahaha....most people that i talked to thought it'd be a good idea to just mention it in passing or after they saw the markings set up by the surveyor. plus i have not really had any conversations with them lately...

    i suggest you all have a neighborhood get together so you can talk about fences and whatnot

    I don't know why I feel the need to say I haven't read 5 or 6 pages of fence material.

    Anyway, around here, you should have a professional make sure your property lines are clearly defined for you. A lot of times, it can be as simple as the kind of grass that's planted in neighboring yards. Sometimes, stakes are already placed. BUT, that's something you just don't want to guess at because if you build a fence on any part of your neighbor's yard, then he owns that portion of the fence. Period.

    Common practice is to define your bounds and then build a fence 3 feet inside those lines for precaution.

    I would feel awkward if I didn't mention my dick and balls.

    Thanks.

    I think proper fence etiquette is to ask your neighbor before you build a fence. It is a shared property line, after all.

    One of my neighbors built this ugly fence which boundaries a portion of my backyard. Later, I guess they realized they built it a few feet onto my property (I didn't tell them - I didn't have a clue), so the tore it up and moved it 2 feet....leaving a portion of my lawn with no grass and all torn up. It still hasn't grown back and they never said a word to me or offered to fix it...or picked up some of the scrap wood for that matter. They also didn't want to deal with the utility pole so they cut the corner and now have a small portion of their yard outside the fence and they never mow that or keep it in shape. If I didn't do it, it would have grass and weeds 3 feet high by the middle of the summer.

    Also, if all 4 of the neighbors who border my backyard decided to put up fences, I'd have a fenced yard whether I wanted one or not....and obviously I don't.

    I agree in principle, but if you do this, you need to make sure you maintain the portion outside of the fence. My neighbors don't subscribe to that principle.

    (Note - not all neighbors are like this. The next door neighbors are a retired couple who talk to us all the time and he even edges my sidewalk for me everytime he mows.)

    Easy fix....poison the grass since the land is not used. It will keep weeds from growing as well. If he doesn't like it, fuck him.

    No, I don't mean bend him over and bang him I just mean, to hell with him and his grass.

    Also, if you can get an agreement with your neighbors on both sides, you can build the fence directly down the property line and ask that they pay for the half that will benefit each of them since they will use it as well.

    All future purchase contracts for the 3 properties involved will have to disclose that that portion of the fence is co-owned with the neighbor beside them. It's not "their" fence. It belongs to "both parties" assuming they do pay money for the service of the fence.

    Licking of the nuts, etc.

    hopefully when the fence is erected and paid for by said neighbor(s), hopefully each neighbor paints the fence a different color.

    There can be contractual clauses preventing painting of fences too. You can do anything with paper and a retarded person.

    But that doesn't work, because then it just looks like dead grass until the weeds take over and start growing in its place. The answer is they should maintain it.

    well played sir, well played!


    (and seriously, you are right...that shit IS hard! :shock: )




    btw - i say put the fence *right* within your property line....when you live with the hicks as hammerdonkey does, you probably have loads of property. when you live with the civilized folks up north, ya don't. ;) therefore, we place fencing on or right within property borders. give 3 feet of your land to the neighbor?! :o hell no! i'll give an inch. maybe. ;) actually, one portion of our fence - between 2 large trees that technically are ours but are so large and over the property lines - is a good 6-12 inches within our property. the former owner put it up, and i have no idea why this one section of fencing is like that. actually, another bit of fencing is indented into our property moreso than the rest, mostly i think to be nice to the one neighbor so he could have access to the side of his garage. however, if we had the $$$ for new fencing (and we don't, more important shit to spend $$$ on) i would so make CERTAIN it was RIGHT within our proeprty line, b/c that current neighbor is the one we DESPISE...so fuck him and having access to the side of his garage aka repair shop. :twisted: :x :lol:

    To be clear, I don't live with "hicks". I live on a cove with 4 houses. One neighbor is a president of a bank. One is an attorney. The other was a retired millionaire. I appraise real estate so I'm quite familiar with lot sizes and shapes as well as the survey process to define the bounds of your lot tract. Legal descriptions are available to you at your courthouse and are very long descriptive black and white layouts of the land you call your own.

    In this area, we have maps and parcel numbers. The northeast might have metes and bounds. I'm not sure. Regardless, there is public information available to you that clearly define your lot. A surveyor could do a better job telling you exactly what those dimensions are but you'll have to pay a fee in excess of $500 for that service.

    Always cover your ass when adding improvents or other structures to your property. Especially when you're about to drop 3 grand on a six foot high privacy fence.

    RE: property lines, you'll probably have to file for a permit with the city. I imagine this includes going over the property lines and having it staked. Then I think you go a little in on your side cause technically it can't be RIGHT ON the line. If that makes any sense? LOL

    ahhhhhh humor....lost. ;)


    we have maps/parcel #s as well, and yes.....having your property surveyed AND staked is the best bet, as well as checking with your local town/village to make sure you apply for proper permits, if necessary. my only real point above was - NO way would i give a 3 foot perimeter of MY property to my neighbors. there is no need to give up the precious little space we in the metro-NY area have. that was all. :D

    D2D...it wasn't necessarily aimed at you. I think deep down, I'd just like to make sure that when people think of me, they don't see a guy with 4 teeth fucking his sister and smoking a Marlboro Red and moonshine pours off her ass cheeks.

    But you're right, land is a premium in NYC. Here in West TN, if I have to give up a little here and there, it's not as crucial to me. Then again, my yard is over 1.5 acres and I have 150 goddamn motherfucking trees that I hate with my hellbound soul.

    Other than that, I like the area :)
