So, they are developing the land behind my house and are putting up an 8 foot privacy fence. I have a 5 foot wrought iron fence in place now. They actually tore down the first 10 feet of my fence and started putting up the privacy fence.
Guy knocks on my door and tells me he'd like to tear down my wrought iron fence so he can erect the privacy fence. ( He's already started without my permission while I was overseas). Said he'd tear down the wrought iron fence and haul it away - except for the fence posts because they are too labor intensive, although he would cut them off at the base.
I told him I'd just assume keep the wrought iron fence up and he could build the privacy fence behind it, unless he also took away the fence posts. He said he couldn't do that, but he couldn't put the fence up while my fence was up. And, he wants to use my yard to keep his work supplies, use my water hoses and my electricity!
But he won't dig up the fence posts because it's too much labor. He gets paid by the job and doesn't want to pay his Mexican workers extra to pull up the posts.
What say you? I told him I'd speak to the developer who hired him and we'd try to work something out, but my fence is on my property. Technically, he's already broken the law by tearing down 10 feet of my fence without permission.
Any inputs? Not too happy about this.
