Re: Am I overreacting over fence cost? 9Jun 13, 2018 11:07 am Saint Mike Be interested in how it turns out. most people are OK. Same. I don’t know how people get in this situation in the first place. For anyone reading - get quotes for a fence/s and contact the adjoining owner/s in writing, provide them the quotes and when the fence is built ONLY pay your half to the fencer, the onus is on the fencing contractor to get the money owed not you. From experience people who get quotes and then the fence built and pay in full themselves, and then get reimbursed by the other owner do it that way so they can work out a cash price with the contractor and pocket the savings. (Not saying that happened here, but it’s pretty common, all good until your neighbor refuses to pay).

Only this one said she will pay in following month. May be I shouldn't have trusted. Re: Am I overreacting over fence cost? 11Aug 06, 2018 10:22 am Have not received the amount yet, I was told that they wont be able to pay until they moved in. FINE. Moved in now. Reminded about it and said Just moved in. What should I do now, wait until they settle down in their new place??? Re: Am I overreacting over fence cost? 12Aug 07, 2018 9:07 am I'd send email - explain your position - and say if nothing happens you'll have to take the next step. You don't want to etc etc - but you can't carry them. I may have said - we went to Small Claims Court - cost us nothing but time - AND a neighbour - but we won. They just decided they wouldn't pay - stuff us ! Keep all the paper work - especially your advice to them. You have to show you did all you could and ARE the good guys in this.
