Please advise me
About 6 years ago, I had work done to my back garden. It was paved with huge borders filled with conifers, shrubs etc. I hated it so had it all dug out and lawned over. When the guy came to do it has asked who had put the science up as it wasn't secure. My neighbor had put it up some years previously And now when I think about it removed a hedge on my boundary without asking.
Anyway, garden was done, really pleased with it but fence was leaning as I live on a bank. The fence doesn't have concrete posts just wooden.
Neighbor comes straight round and complains. Back story is that they have complained before. The front garden trees are too big could I cut them as they can't see the road. We live in a very quiet residential street, my girls shouldn't be sledging when we were snowed in once, my back garden could look like theirs if I changed it, my daughter had friend round once when she turned 18, it was too loud. They thought I was a soft touch. As I type this I'm listening to their rock music through the walls.
I thought I had to stand up to them to stop their petty complaining so I wouldn't get into a discussion about the fence. The husband is quite intimidating and I'm a single woman. Anyway I stood my ground.
Relations have thawed slightly and he called in a couple of weeks ago to say he was gettting fence fixed. He would leave my garden looking exactly as it was. I didn't for one moment think he would be putting something in my garden! However he has placed a wooden beam thing across the front of the fence which is an eye sore.
I've tried to ignore it but I'm just so annoyed at their cheek and feel I should say something but it's not easy to face them on my own. What would you do?
