My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️
He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.
The title with the pic but without the context is hilarious.
OP: My neighbor cut a hole in my fence.
OP’s neighbor: 😃
As long as he asked first lol which I’m sure he did.
Dogs and neighbors gain new friends! Win-win!
Our* boys, lol
How do you know this?
edit Oh you mean the neighbor saying that. I’m slow.
The* boys
Just cuz we legally “own” them doesn’t mean we gotta refer to them that way! I’d never refer to MY dogs like that
…wait
*our.
This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.
I can’t say if you’re technically correct as far as MLA formatting or whatever but I’ve been on the internet for 30 years and basically everyone puts the asterisk after the word they’re correcting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it the way you’re describing lol
I have too and I can safely say the opposite. I think I’ve seen people put it after instead of before maybe a handful of times.
Can I ask what country you’re from? Is it possible it’s regional?
«¿Que?»
JaJaJaJa
ITT: OP posts his neighbor doing something wholesome, and commenters lose their shit, accusing him of being some kind of pervert or spy. OP is unphased.
Same here.
You andI might be projecting.
Jealous that you have such an awesome neighbor
He looks thrilled!
Yes! He was so happy when he could pet the dogs, which is why I wanted to share the picture.
I’ve thought about asking our neighbor about putting a dog door in our shared fence so her dog and mine can play together in either yard without needing to plan out a play date. Seems like a cool idea if it can lock from either or both sides!
If you have dogs that get along, the dog door would be awesome. I bet the dogs would love it. If I was your neighbor, it would make me very happy to see your dog visit me.
The posts are facing into your yard. Wouldn’t that technically make it his fence? Maybe I have that backwards? Regardless, cool story, cool neighbor, super cool dogs lol
I always thought you would put the posts inward to prevent climbing, but another neighbor installed a fence that was built like you said. I have no idea!
Maybe it doesn’t matter?
I’ve always thought that the posts face outwards, because you get to look at the nice, finished fence, and not the ugly posts (if the fence was yours). Who knows anymore lol
I always see them posts-in, so the outward appearance (to the street, etc.) is nice. Curb appeal. Also to make it harder to climb.
I remember a fence with the slats in both sides and the posts in the middle from a childhood home. I think people just started being cheap smh
I remember those, too. Then started seeing (or maybe noticing?) The current fence styles. I think you’re right. Things are getting much more expensive, and people aren’t earning that much more, so they have to cut corners where they can. It’s easy to cheap out on a fence.
The smooth side does indeed face the owner. But it’s about maintenance, not appearance. If the fence faced the other way, you’d have to be standing in your neighbor’s yard to fix your own fence if it has a broken board.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that some people don’t install their fences backward.
is your name wilson wilson
I said that to him! You read my mind.
Aww I love your neighbour.
Now that is a social Wilson…TV reference
When I was a kid my dad did a much smaller version of this so the neighbor’s dog could stick her head through and we could pet her. The dog loved it.
Thanks for sharing, this world needs more posts like this one.
That’s cool. I wish I had a fun neighbor. My neighbor rebuilds unmuffled engines 6 feet from my living room window even though I have been asking him to move to literally any other part of his property for 10 years.
Ah yeah that’s rough. He rides a loud motorcycle to work, but I can tolerate it twice a day, especially since it’s at the same time each day.
I’m lucky to have a good one so close.
Have you tried placing a speaker next to the window and playing unmuffled engine noise at him whenever hes out there?
He probably wont enjoy it played back to him non stop, especially if it makes it harder to work on his actual engines.
Any noise ordinances? Not that those will be enforced, but it gives you a leg to stand on.
At least where I am from, there are noise ordinances but they’re written in ways like “not hear sound more than X distance away during Y hours”. So being so close to it is actually detrimental.
Also where I live you have to report noise violations through the police, which just makes it feel like a massive escalation. “You called the cops on me!?” sort of thing.
There are but unless they are like shooting off big fireworks or teenagers having a party the police won’t care which means I would have to make it a civil thing and frankly we would just rather move as that’s already the plan anyway, or was until the pandemic…
