Hi, my neighbour and I are going to build a new wooden fence. At one
point
it has to go between a very narrow walking space between our two
houses
particularly at a place where every inch counts.

Should the 'outer face' of the fence (of the person who owns it) be
exactly
in the middle of the space between the two houses? Or should the
centre
line between the houses run down the centre of the posts.

In other words do we end up with an equal width pathway each, or
does one
person (the fence owner) have to have the width of the posts into
his side?

Sorry if this might sound like 'nit picking', but it's such a narrow
space
at one point (due to the houses being at an angle to each other)
that it
could be irritating not to get it just right.

Surely the only way to get it really right is to discuss it with the
neighbour.
Where is the actual boundary according to both your and your
neighbour's deeds?
