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

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

Good news is that many landlords excel at this level of craftsmanship.
I also wish the same for us both. But I'd like to remind you, people who rent can also find themselves complaining about the neighbour's mismatched fenceposts

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.

It's not just the posts. The neighbor used nails that are way too long. IMO that's a safety hazard.
Ram it, get tetanus. Sue.
Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.

Simple red marker.
Probably needs to do that on the other side
The other side at the bottom would be easier (one cut no angles)
This was well done, the attention to detail with the poorly edited nails is really funny.
Better

All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.
That fence looks backwards according to the code I'm familiar with, unless you took this inside your neighbor's yard
Yeah, this looks like this is OP's fence and their neighbor got sick of it

Are there places where code actually requires the person who paid for it gets the bad side?
I hear that a lot, but it's always just been what people said.

Perhaps the neighbor is just going for a taller fence... Over time.
Yes the screw length would be a big concern.

Looks life a shared fence. Maybe you should have offered to help instead of making this post.
Maybe that was the deal, op puts up the posts and the neighbor puts up the planks
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.

Those exposed screws are way worse than the mismatched boards. Safety hazard
I have suspicion that you guys don't like each other.
But in 20 short years at least the color will match!
I agree with all the people saying cut the screws flush. Its a safety problem and you're doing him a favor

Cut the screw ends off and toss them back on his side of the fence so he can find them with his bare feet.

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