Neighbour is beginning to annoy me .

[droves]

we moved away from neighbours from hell. It's a relief. I love our new house.

We have a garden , it's larger than the neighbours , but parallel to theirs .

Before we moved in the knocked down the fence so they could fit a giangantic trampoline in the back garden. It sort of took a few inches of my garden.

Had told neighbour that we will be replacing the fence in summer.

At new year party , neighbour pops in . And tells people we have a shared garden . Wtf ?. Now her crappy double swing set it half way into mine and blocking acces into my shed.

I've moved it back into her garden several times. Not only is it really annoying I have to walk around the damn thing to get into my shed , she has started talking about what we will do about our shared garden.

It's not a shared garden. It's two gardens that happen to have a fence missing because she broke it.

And her dog shits all over .

So I'm planning to get the fence rebuilt and have the garden landscaped and decked by may .I will not tell her , but just do it . Aibu ?

I agree with what others have said re getting some chicken wire up asap. Tell her that you are worried about dd and the dog mess in YOUR garden.

You really need to speak to her about the permanent fencing too or else you may find that your lovely new fence is "accidentally" broken by them one night. After all it looks like they were responsible for the original fence getting broken.

Good luck, there's nothing worse than neighbour disputes!

Sydney , I really don't want to fall out with her or antagonise her.

I just have waited so long for my own garden that the kids could play in, it's irritating that the neighbour is sort of ruining it.

But then again I think she's a tiny bit frootloop . Told us she was allergic to rabbits , ( we have 2) then bought one for her dd .
Why ? .

Have just been told by other neighbour ( other side) that she knocked down the fence so she could steal the original shed that was in our garden. This happened when people who lived here before us moved out. The fact the trampoline then fitted in the back garden ,was just a bonus.

She showed me pics of my house on google maps ...complete fence and shed.

Is the stolen shed in your Sale inventory? If so, you could very probably involve the police!

Oh my gosh, she sounds mental. Is the shed now in her garden? Are you renting, or have you bought the house Droves?

Renting . But will buy after I've finished retraining .

You're renting? Then is the fence and garden on your inventory? Is it HA?
This all needs to go through your landlord, straight away IMHO

It's just a bit bonkers IMO.

Why would anyone steal a Mankey old shed and break down a fence to do so ? Repairing the fence will probably cost more than a shed would.

if you are renting, presumably you have an inventory that includes your shed?

Maybe contact the landlord, tell him shes taken down the fence, taken the shed and you need landlord to deal with it - even if it involves the police. That way you are not the bad guy.

OP are you me? This is very similar to what happened in my garden last year. My neighbour's dog used to wander onto my garden pooing everywhere, the neighbour would wander over and look at my veg patch, have a mooch round my shed and sitting from his conservatory staring at us in our garden. In the end I checked with the solicitor who sold us the house that we were definitely in the right and then I slammed up a 6 foot fence all around my garden, it cost us a fortune as the garden is an acre and we had to do two sides to prevent the neighbour and his dog having access. The neighbour went ape, tried to get us in trouble with the local authority, told me he had a right of way across the bottom of my garden when it's actually across another neighbour's garden in front of my fence - that took a letter from a lawyer setting out to him that he didn't and when that failed the wife would shout abuse over the fence and they tried to pull it down. They objected to their nosiness being interfered with.

To this day they still try to see through the fence into our garden, we catch him trying to peer through the slats regularly - it's not as if we're playing naked volleyball out there, kids are on trampoline and I'm digging my veggies. We're obviously more interesting to him than he is to us.

Get that fence up ASAP.

Another weird thing she's done ...

When we pulled up the hedges in the front garden so we could gravel it to use as a driveway , she pulled up hers , but just along the communal path to both properties. Her dog now has free access to shit there too.

So her front garden has hedging along 3 sides of her garden . Looks bloody daft .

Bonkers, tell the police, do you own or rent?

x-post

Are you renting your house? What does your landlord say?

Surely it is the landlord's job to repair the fencing? Just get them on to it. If they want to pursue the neighbour for the cost of the fencing they vandalised and the shed the stole that's their business.

I can't tell police , they'd just laugh .

Landlord has been told about fence , but is refusing to fix it as it is was replacement for their original fence , so landlord is claiming as the previous tenant did not have permission to errect a different fence they are not liable for maintaining it . Which is why we , the new tenants are supposed to maintain the boundary . Don't know if it's legal , but I think we signed agreeing to this .
It's a pile of pants .

Well if you have permission and everything ( at your LL, useless fecker,)
then I think you need to get something up as soon as you can.

If it is a rented house, I would seriously just do the chicken wire! I think it is shit that your LandLord is being a twat about this! It is his property FGS! Contact the letting agent, and check your contract!

We already replaced the shed . When we moved In we had no idea there was supposed to be a shed ( or that it was sitting next doors garden ) .

However there was an area that was devoid of grass and had patting stones down. I guess that's where the shed sat .

I will gladly provide a new fence when I've got enough money for it . It just takes ages to save.

If you were the owner I'd suggest getting a loan out for a six foot brick wall to keep this fruitloop and her livestock out of your life. Find somewhere else to live, she sounds toxic and it shouldn't be your problem.

She sounds nuts.

No way would I be clearing her dogs shit up.

I think its going to take more than a fence to sort this out tbh.

Try razor wire and vandal grease.
