Its crazy how many peeps here cant see there are two separate fences with a no mans land gap between. It's really weird because Ive seen this on properties more often then I would've expected I would.

One of the most common scenarios ive seen this is when neighbor A has a pool and put the required perimeter fence for the pool but not at the property line. Also the pool and fence would be installed first. Then neighbor B put up a fence after and told the cobtractor to run their property line. I say contractor because they do as told by person paying, if it was diy fence by owner theu wouldve talked to neighbor and butted the fences back to back w/ no gap. It'd explain the neighbor not caring about the protruding screw out the back because they've never seen a single person between the two fences the entire time they put the fences up.

Other scenarios are quick fix to contain animal till full fence replacing is installed. Or neighbor with bucktooth fence, from the picture angle, looks like they have no sight line to that part of fence from house and said fucked if I care.

You can easily get rid of those nails sticking out with just a hammer.

Hit it from the top. Cover your eyes. Hit it from the bottom. Hit it from the top. Off it flies, good luck finding the broken off piece.

No bolt cutter needed.

Perhaps the neighbor is just going for a taller fence... Over time.

Yes the screw length would be a big concern.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Neighbor is slowly transitioning to better fortifications, barbed wire will come in after the fence is taller /s

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

As someone with buck teeth, I see no issue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

So they have a hammer but no saw

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

Get your bolt cutters out and solve the nail problem. Apart from that, it’s meh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Why do you even care?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Presumably the fence runs between their property so they have to see it every day. Also those exposed nails could be hazardous to pets or children.

It's also pretty trivial to cut the boards to length and use appropriate fasteners. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I suspect this kind of carelessness is present in other parts of the neighbor's life. They've probably gotten on OP's nerves before.

Since the photo was taken from the inside, he either went into the neighbors side to take the photo or it's his fence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 minutes ago

Look at the shorter fence in the foreground. It looks like the space between the two fences is probably a line between the properties, and the neighbor did their fence backwards from what you're imagining, whereas the foreground fence is oriented the way you'd expect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 minutes ago

Has the same thought

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours ago

But in 20 short years at least the color will match!

[–] [email protected] 107 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

What screws?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I read it as "they can't afford saw and screws"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, Id be going back out there with a hammer and poking those nails back through the board just enough to make it flush. let the neighbor loose an eye if they want to half ass that.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 13 hours ago

All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

nail edit

[–] [email protected] 60 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

I was just talking to someone who wants to replace their fence. Planks are expensive right now so he is as saying he would do it this way haha

I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts

[–] [email protected] 47 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The 3 inch nails protruding through the rails are much more complaint-worthy than the too-tall pickets.

Looks life a shared fence. Maybe you should have offered to help instead of making this post.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It looks like there's also a fence in the foreground and maybe a pathway inbetween, so I don't think it's a shared fence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 43 minutes ago

The photo is also taken from the "inside" side. So it might even be his fence.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 12 hours ago

Maybe that was the deal, op puts up the posts and the neighbor puts up the planks

Simple red marker.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Probably needs to do that on the other side

[–] [email protected] 85 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago

This was well done, the attention to detail with the poorly edited nails is really funny.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 hours ago

The other side at the bottom would be easier (one cut no angles)

It's not just the posts. The neighbor used nails that are way too long. IMO that's a safety hazard.
