Re: Good fences make good neighbors...
I talked with the owners of the vacant lot next door (they hope to build
one day) before I put up a fence. We discussed the style of the fence
and so on. They ``offered'' to help or pay half of the cost.
Moral: Talk to your neighbors, they might be reasonable people.

We're thinking of putting up a privacy fence around our back yard. Being neither long on time nor brawn, we want to have it installed. My questions: is there a particular time of year when the best bargains can be had? Also, are there any long term disadvantages to a stockade fence, as opposed to cedar? What percentage of the value of the fence are we likely to be able to recover in increased resale value of the home? Reply by mail, please. Mark Horton cbosgd!mark

**** **** From the keys of Steve Henning, AT&T Bell Labs, Reading, PA aluxe!2141smh RE: ...neighboring owners are responsible for half the cost of the replacement of a fence. That is a bunch of hog wash in most cases. A person cannot put a fence on your property unless you let them. If you let them, then you are responsible to keep it from becoming a liability to the neighborhood. The moral is to not put it on the line if you want any control.

Something that you may want to check on first are the state(local) laws on installing/replacing fences. Here in California, to the best of my knowledge, and a half hour of People's Court, the neighboring owners are responsible for half the cost of the replacement of a ?worn out? fence. -- Barry Wenger, Perkin-Elmer Data Systems Group - Santa Clara, Calif.

Yes, but don't put it too far on your side of the property line or you could find your neighbor legally owning the stuff on his side of the fence. -Ron
