So Arwen did away with our garden fences on both sides of the garden. We live in a semidetached house and the neighbours on the adjacent side were as cooperative about fixing that side as humanly possible. On that side we decided to split the cost of repair 50/50.
On the other, detached side, our neighbour is an absolute madwoman, who was previously a topic of my AIBUs. Unemployed, kids in dad's custody/ss involved, drink and weed on a regular basis. DH and I decided to sort out the fence on that side on our own, for the benefit of our own mental health. We politely let her know we'd get it sorted, just to have patience as handymen were few and far between, as they are thin on the ground trying to repair all the storm damage.
We took time to go through quotes, WFH for 2 viewings and paid £££ to get it fixed. The workmen took about 3 hours today. Once they left, she had the absolute cheek to complain to my DH, who was tidying up our garden, that the workmen left mud prints in her garden (which is nothing but weeds and rat-enticing junk she can't be bothered to clean up).
It took ALL, and I mean ALL, of my self-control not to go over and give her an earful. AIBU?
