Hi thanks for reading, we live in a council property, joined on to a bought house for context.
When we moved in the fence between the two properties was still the original local authority one with the random thin straps joined with wire type, it was heavily leaning to the one side.
I have a son who is autistic and is only allowed in the garden to play, I'm the first to hold my hand up and say he can be a pain in the ass and his mealtdowns are exhausting, when ever I see one coming on I try my best to get him inside.
Anyway, a fortnight ago my neighbor had a load of wood delivered and took out the shred fence and replaced with a lovely big 6ft High one, it's great for us as my son is getting to the age where he is an escape artist and he can easily let it over the old one.
She hasn't really been talking to us, I think we irritate her and her older kids. We normally head to our caravan for the summer so that my kids get a break but also so that we're not so full on for my neighbors over the summer holidays. Unfortunately this year that's not been possible, whilst I have tried my best to keep them quiet it's really difficult with my son.
I think possibly she has come to the end of her tether with us, I was sitting out on my patio one night with my mum enjoying an evening of peace whilst the kids were asleep and someone in a house over the back was having a party but she came out and has a go at us for music, when we explained we didn't have any on it was another house she just went in and closed the door, didn't really apologise for having a go at us
So my actual question here is what is etiquette with the fence? Should I be painting it at my side? Am I allowed to? Would I be allowed to hand say a solar light on it? Or is it a no go completely? I'm guessing it will need painted or it will rot? So will I just need to wait and see what she paints it with then do the rest of my fences in the same colour?
Thanks if you've read this far
