We lived in this property for 18 years and today is the third time since we moved in that I have applied creosote to the fence
It borders our garden on 3 sides and we get the 'shitty' side on the whole lot. This doesn't bother me in the slightest however it does mean that when it comes to painting the fence, our paint is much more likely to drip down to the other side then their paint is to drip through to ours.
Over the years when the neighbours have done their fences, a little bit has dripped through to our side.
Again, not bothered, even though we are all using very different paint colours.
Neighbour 1: Turgid Green
Neighbour 2: Dog Shit Brown
Us: Calming Lavender ok, purple
So now, as expected Neighbour 2 has come home and spotted what I suspect are drips coming through his fence.
After ranting and raving at his wife, he has now spent 5 minutes banging on our front door and I have completely ignored him.
Surely, if a few drips come through you just do a bit of touching up on your own side and then carry on with life?
Neighbour 2 is a completely dreadful person all round (for reasons I wont go into on here as potentially too outing but it involves dumping raw sewage).
So AIBU to ignore him or better still tell him to get over himself?
Or is there some weird creosote law that I am unaware of?
