What an A-hole. Guess he can’t afford a saw.
And those damn screws.
I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts
Check where you are, because come on, that’s the whole point of this community
I’m more than mildly infuriated I will likely never own a home.
Have you tried looking for a home somewhere undesirable
Wait, are we in mildyinfuriatinghomeownerproblems?
The 3 inch nails protruding through the rails are much more complaint-worthy than the too-tall pickets.
They don’t even come close to the home owners fence bro
What screws?
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.
Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.
It’s not just the posts. The neighbor used nails that are way too long. IMO that’s a safety hazard.
Not everyone is handy or knows how to use tools. Instead of a passive aggressive post on Lemmy. Perhaps talk to your neighbor comment on the fence posts and offer to fix it or show him/her how to fix it.
“Hey how is it going neighbor,I saw you fixed the fence. Love the new wood, did the hardware store not have the right length? Yeah that is a bummer, I have a saw, I’m sure I could help you get those planks evened out in a few minutes if you’d like.”
If they are a dick after that then post away.
But in 20 short years at least the color will match!
Looks good imo.
He probably decided he didn’t have a way to cut those 45 degree angles and so there was no way to make those boards like the rest.
Cut it off the bottom then?
And use way shorter hardware to affix the boards.
That’s the joke.
Gonna be completely honest OP. You are really being a jackass to this person. I understand you may be displeased by the length not matching, colour even and possibly the nails. Though you have to consider most people can barely afford repairs. Also as for the nails it’s better to be safe. Get longer than shorter ones.
Have you considered just discussing the issue with them civilly. Suggest to possibly replace a few more parts of the fence or it fully as the new stable wood he put in.
Then show him how to properly replace fences. Also possibly if you have a saw for wood. Just let them know if he’s ever doing projects. He can ask or rent it from you?
Yes, the person complaining to strangers on the internet for catharsis is the jackass and not the fucker who put multiple long fucking nails through to my side of their fucking fence. The length and color might be an eyesore and idk how that person doesn’t feel embarrassed at not even half assing this, but the real big complaint is the fucking nails.
Looking at it too! There’s two fences. So it wouldn’t even bother the other person. Unless hey try and squeeze between the walk way.
Who cares. It’s just a fence lol
All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.
Bet they don’t own a table saw and this is the length the store sold them at.
No table saw needed. You could use a 10 dollar hand saw from horrible freight, measure the length and pull from the finish end and cut it like a normal person.
I guess it’s good he didn’t cut them to match so it stands out for the guy who pulls weeds in between the property lines. They’d be less likely to get stabbed by a 16 penny nail. Even getting scraped by a nail hurts like fuck. Anyone dismissing the nail portion of this job as “ok” or “have a friendly conversation” is missing as many brain cells as the person who fixed this fence.
Or maybe, they’re trying to make it taller the ship of Theseus way.
Also my first thought! I wanted to do that with a deck once but that’s a little unwiser.
I guess maybe if you kept the railings up, and taped off that part of your yard…

Probably needs to do that on the other side
Nice quick edit. What software did you use?
Krita. I kept it low effort haha
I agree with all the people saying cut the screws flush. Its a safety problem and you’re doing him a favor
Omg I just noticed the nails. The guy just bought the longest ones he could find.
Or just used whatever he had lying around.
Those exposed screws are way worse than the mismatched boards. Safety hazard
You mean nails?
He screwed up. You nailed it.
It’s a post post
it’s beyond the pale!
I’m on the fence about that one.
Me too.
