Re: garage on boundary 15Nov 23, 2007 8:18 am ![]() ![]() In my last house the neighbours garage was on the boundary and it always bugged me that my fence had a big gap with horrid red bricks in the middle. I would ask their opinion. Must keep friendly with the neighbours ![]() Phhhtttt......they're renters. Just thinking about it further, could be a good wall for the kids to learn tennis against ![]() So you dont need to bother being neighbourly with "just renters"?

If they don't like me they can move. If they don't like Frankie Goes to Hollywood blaring from my garage at 9:30 on a saturday morning, then they can move. If they don't throw my kids tennis balls back when they find them in their 2 foot long weed patch that's invading my side of the fence, then they can move. If they start their diesel van at 6 am and leave it idling for ten minutes just outside my ensuite window, then they will get abused, then they can move. </rant> Re: garage on boundary 18Nov 23, 2007 8:43 am Thanks Ausdesign. your post summarises it. It has been hard to get the fence people to get quotes for the small job of removing and refinishing the fence. The guy who did it lives 70ks away and wasnt keen to do it. we have hence decided to simply have the fence and the gap there. It faces the neighbour's study room window. They will still see our garage walls above the fence.

I'm in the same boat. Many many years ago the rear timber fence fell down & was replaced with colorbond. We have a 2nd fence falling down (3rd fence not far off).
