It sounds like best option is to not touch their wall, just in case. So, the question is what to do with that little garden bed. I do like the idea of putting in a planter/pot, but my only concern is that when it rains, that spot is a giant puddle.. do I need to do some drainage? I was thinking putting some soil and planting something would help against puddles. I also really like the screen idea. I'm thinking I could build a trellis from the ground up (no touching next doors wall) and either do a vertical garden or maybe some screening, or a combination of both... and then maybe just put some small plants in the bottom without a big root system like strawberries or violets.. something basic. Re: Help needed from experts!!! 1639Jul 11, 2017 7:06 pm Wooohooooo so many congrats! You must be so excited right now! For the final payment I would get bank cheque to be paid at handover. We made the mistake of paying by bank deposit and then got handed the keys with defects that still haven't been rectified 6 weeks later! I would maybe ask the question of the penalties but your fence would have definitely added some time to the build. Better to ask and be rejected and just pay than not ask at all! Re: Help needed from experts!!! 1640Jul 11, 2017 7:12 pm Yep definitely cheque. I got a cheque, and when i rocked up at handover, even my ss said if i wasnt happy to hold on to the cheque first and encouraged me to make sure i was satisfied. On a happier note i cant believe how close you are! You might even have keys in as little as a week hopefully?!?!
