I think we would of done our lot with those neighbours, no borrowing a cup of sugar, although they may need to eat some to lighten up a bit. Along with a spotlight we could set up some nice speakers with a huge subwoofer and a nice selection of doof to play on special occassions Is there any restrictions on the size of the shed? Ideally would not want to go to council so the grumps dont object. Fence man was/is (but probably was) going to build our other boundary fence...will know tomorrow if he is still keen....lol Hmmm interested to see what legalaid have to suggest! Re: Boundary fencing advice please! 12Aug 02, 2010 2:55 am I'm sorry, but I'm coming at this from a different perspective. I live at the top of a hill and my entire estate is made up of sloping blocks. I would be absolutely devastated if my neighbours wanted to put up a 6ft high wooden fence as it would completely block our vista. We buy these blocks for the views and the feeling of space and openness, you put up a 6ft high wooden fence and what's the point? May as well have stayed on a conventional block. When you have neighbours with a block on higher ground than yours (which is what your picture shows), surely you must expect to be overlooked? There are actually quite a few people around me with 6ft fences to the edge of the house, then the fence drops down to 4ft for the yard to help maintain the sense of open space so it is not unusual. You said that the fence on the other side of your neighbour's block will be 4ft. What is the standard for most of the blocks? What do most people have around there? The rear fence looks like farm fencing, is that the norm? I'm not saying that I am right, I'm just offering a different perspective. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Seriously. You want that on record in case of future trouble. These are not reasonable people. Re: Boundary fencing advice please! 14Aug 02, 2010 12:08 pm Usagi, sounds like you're in a difficult situation and I feel for you But my two cents would be to build another fence along that 4ft area, inside your boundary, at 6ft high. Planting shrubs takes time and then the evil neighbours could easily poison them but another fence inside your boundary, I feel would fix them up for sure And if you're feeling for the fencing guy, then pay your half but only for the 6ft part of the fence. Then you can use the rest of your money to get another fence built Good luck, sounds like you need it Re: Boundary fencing advice please! 15Aug 02, 2010 2:11 pm If you were to follow this path, a shed would be better than plants as they can't poison them - also I would be checking with your council as to ALL the requirements and regulations/permits etc that you would need before building it to ensure that you are allowed to build it etc etc so that if the neighbours complain then you can say it complies with council regulations. Oh, also I agree with what Kek said about calling the police, you could probably even still call them to have it noted down and ask the fencer guy to be a witness. Goodluck with it!

I mean 5.5, 5.75 or 6ft, fencers are shadey* anyway. Divide up the percentage of your 1/2 paid fence compared to the whole fence and pay it.I know in the future that you will get greater satisfaction and justification this way than any other way, and that the neighbors modification was stupid(and without consent) so they forfeit any agreement on the modified part. Thats the Australian way, always justified The plan is to demolisgh the home, earthworks to prepare for slab, and then removal of existing wall for a new one. Requires a DA unfortunatley as the new wall will be… 6 21624 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 11891 You should be able to encase the sewer but you will need it designed and approved and access to lot 580 to do the work 2 12627 |
