What an A-hole. Guess he can’t afford a saw.
And those damn screws.
Gonna be completely honest OP. You are really being a jackass to this person. I understand you may be displeased by the length not matching, colour even and possibly the nails. Though you have to consider most people can barely afford repairs. Also as for the nails it’s better to be safe. Get longer than shorter ones.
Have you considered just discussing the issue with them civilly. Suggest to possibly replace a few more parts of the fence or it fully as the new stable wood he put in.
Then show him how to properly replace fences. Also possibly if you have a saw for wood. Just let them know if he’s ever doing projects. He can ask or rent it from you?
Yes, the person complaining to strangers on the internet for catharsis is the jackass and not the fucker who put multiple long fucking nails through to my side of their fucking fence. The length and color might be an eyesore and idk how that person doesn’t feel embarrassed at not even half assing this, but the real big complaint is the fucking nails.
It’s a post post
it’s beyond the pale!
Not everyone is handy or knows how to use tools. Instead of a passive aggressive post on Lemmy. Perhaps talk to your neighbor comment on the fence posts and offer to fix it or show him/her how to fix it.
“Hey how is it going neighbor,I saw you fixed the fence. Love the new wood, did the hardware store not have the right length? Yeah that is a bummer, I have a saw, I’m sure I could help you get those planks evened out in a few minutes if you’d like.”
If they are a dick after that then post away.
Unless they also put the fence up backwards, that’s taken from inside the fence. So either that’s your own fence, or you trespassed to take the photo. Or this story could all be totally fake, who’s to say?
So fucking what? If this actually upsets you I am truly jealous of how privileged your life is.
“Mildly Infuriating”
I agree with all the people saying cut the screws flush. Its a safety problem and you’re doing him a favor
Omg I just noticed the nails. The guy just bought the longest ones he could find.
Or just used whatever he had lying around.
Bet they don’t own a table saw and this is the length the store sold them at.
Or maybe, they’re trying to make it taller the ship of Theseus way.
Also my first thought! I wanted to do that with a deck once but that’s a little unwiser.
I guess maybe if you kept the railings up, and taped off that part of your yard…
What screws?
But in 20 short years at least the color will match!
I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts
Check where you are, because come on, that’s the whole point of this community
Wait, are we in mildyinfuriatinghomeownerproblems?
I’m more than mildly infuriated I will likely never own a home.
Have you tried looking for a home somewhere undesirable
All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.
Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.
Why do you even care?
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.
The photo is also taken from the “inside” side. So it might even be his fence.
Simple red marker.
Probably needs to do that on the other side
Nice quick edit. What software did you use?
Krita. I kept it low effort haha
