Default garden police gone wild?

A few years ago (and I may have posted it to this group), my new
neighbor decided he "knew" where the boundary line was and it was on my
driveway by a considerable distance. After many sleepless nights and
almost ending up in court, they got a survey done to discover that, wow,
*we* owned more of the strip between the properties than we thought.

So he put up a 6' fence (tallest fence you can do without a permit) on
the property line (and some a little over sigh) so he didn't have to
look at my bushes which I had cared for long before he moved in.

Took about 3 months for the bushes to grow above the fence. They are now
carefully trimmed at 2-3" above 6. Revenge can be sweet.

Which is what I did in the back. I have a length of common fence with the

and I attached concrete reinforcement grid and have a nice Schizophragma
hydrangoides (sp?) and some ivy treebine, and Virginia creeper. In a year or
so, I won't be able to see a thing.

And why not. If there isnt a law against fences the person doesnt want to
see it can
just build a fence so they dont have to look at it. Ingrid

payments and the taxes shouldn't you be entitled to park what ever you want
in the driveway? I believe that is your position.
