What an A-hole. Guess he can't afford a saw.
And those damn screws.
Get your bolt cutters out and solve the nail problem. Apart from that, it’s meh.

nail edit
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.
All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.
Looks life a shared fence. Maybe you should have offered to help instead of making this post.
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.
Maybe that was the deal, op puts up the posts and the neighbor puts up the planks

Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.
I was just talking to someone who wants to replace their fence. Planks are expensive right now so he is as saying he would do it this way haha
Simple red marker.
Probably needs to do that on the other side
This was well done, the attention to detail with the poorly edited nails is really funny.
The other side at the bottom would be easier (one cut no angles)
Better
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.
They don't even come close to the home owners fence bro
I don't know if you meant for it to come off this way or not, but to me it reads like you're saying people who own homes shouldn't complain about small things. Someone else always has it worse. That doesn't mean those who are better off have no right to complain about things that annoy them (especially on the community made for complaining about mildly infuriating things).
I think it's the fact OP is calling their neighbor an asshole for fixing their fence in a less than perfect way that really irked me. I get annoyed when privileged people want to play the victim; it's something I know I should work on, but right now it's a part of my character.
I get you. Until I noticed the spiked aspect of the new boards I didn’t see the problem. A repaired fence > unrepaired fence. I think it’s great.
Good news is that many landlords excel at this level of craftsmanship.
Check where you are, because come on, that's the whole point of this community
Wait, are we in mildyinfuriatinghomeownerproblems?
There are things I can relate to, and this is not one of them. Hence my comment
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
It's not just the posts. The neighbor used nails that are way too long. IMO that's a safety hazard.

Grab the nail heads with a pliers and push them out a little every week or so
or just cut the exposed part of the nails using an oscillating tool? No need to be petty.
What's the point of living if I can't be petty?

I imagine that's still their property, given the fence in the foreground, but those screws sticking out could have been a great slip-and-fall style multi-million dollar lawsuit my just cutting yourself a little with a "rusty" screw. My building HOA got sued for less before I moved in, and insurance just caves without checking if it's legit since that can just up the premiums.
I have suspicion that you guys don't like each other.
Post about a post. Reeeeeee
Nailed it
That fence looks backwards according to the code I'm familiar with, unless you took this inside your neighbor's yard
Yup, having just gone through a fence replacement thing and our city's building code - of the posts of the fence face your property, it's your fence. So either this fence was installed improperly and with the posts reversed (probably against code), or the OP is the owner of the shitty fence.
On a side note, the other fence also looks like the posts face in - which means there are two fences on the OPs property - another building code violation where I live.
Yeah, this looks like this is OP's fence and their neighbor got sick of it
It looks like ops fence is the 3-4' tall fence you can see at the bottom of the pic?
Neighbours probably installed his fence so it looks good to him, since it's not seen by anyone else but the OP
If it were facing a street you pm would probably install it the other way
