To be annoyed my neighbour has painted their side of their fence?

... without telling me? My side looks awful now. If they had told me they were doing it, I would have arranged to get my side done too. Its a totally different colour and the the top and sides are the new colour, as are all the drips on my side. They did this a few years ago as well but it was the same colour and I still had to promptly paint my side because it looked so bad with the drips. I probably said nothing at the time. I will need to get my side painted the same (neighbours choice of colour again)- I don't know whose fence it is, if anyones, it was here before we both moved here, but it maybe is theirs. Just annoyed because I think we usually have a good neighbourly relationship. I have a family party planned at the weekend and have been getting the garden looking presentable and it now looks, well, shoddy and horrible

If the posts are on your side it is your fence and you are responsible for replacement and repairs but that said she is within her rights to paint the fence her side

Don't be bloody ridiculous. Nobody coming to your party is going to care about your fence & if they are the sort of bitchy person who would comment, why are you inviting them anyway.

I remember a few years ago I attended a BBQ and I had to leave after five minutes because their garden fence was in such a state, I found it seriously offensive.

Had it just been the fence I might have been able to stay an hour, but their hanging basket was wonky too.

If this your mainainable fence then yes - this is diabolical. if they want to paint a fence they must erect their own. i would be livid if this was me and i make them clean it all off as they have not asked permission to do so. Its your maintainable fence end of

I did wonder who paints fences and holds garden parties in January 'til I saw the date. Wonder how these random topics get picked up?
