So now a shitty looking privacy fence, has uneven gaps between many slats, along half and then a 40+ year old chain link the rest of the way.

Just build your own taller, better fence as close to theirs as possible. You end up with a quality fence, and you make them think that if they had just waited a little longer, they could've had a free fence.

My neighbor just dug a trench in my backyard along our fence. Said that water was leaking under/through the cement cinderblocks that my fence is built on top of and into his garage. Asked me if he could dig it up, and seal it on my side. He dug it, sealed it, lined it with plastic and re-buried. Great guy.

Great neighbor!

We're gonna need pictures of said fence.

Wait what? I do not follow this. Is there a hole in the fencing?

There is a gap between where this new fence and an adjoining fence meet. If they had installed to code, where the finished side faces me, the gap would have been much smaller.

Sounds like you have a case in court if it’s against code. Personally, I’d fix the gap myself and be happy with it.

Pretty easy to report them for a code violation. If it was done correctly, I assume you prefer it over the see through picket?

I am trying to decide if I want to report him or just do some landscaping that will hide the stupid thing.

I would report him, as the finished side should face your property.

You could train a grapevine on your side, so birds would poop on his. By that time he may sell to Cowboy fans. Who open a You Pull It 4X4 business

Even better would be to plant a mulberry tree up against it. Purple bird shit all over it and his yard.

Mulberries are one of the easiest things to grow. Hell, around here new ones pop up every spring when the birds start snacking. They even grow in the gutters.

Yep, we have one along another property line. I spend half the summer clearing out saplings growing all over the yard.

You cut them down to the ground and the spawn new growth, they are the devil. You have to buy Tordon poison to have a chance...
