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.

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Looking at it too! There’s two fences. So it wouldn’t even bother the other person. Unless hey try and squeeze between the walk way.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Clip the ends of the screws off. Not much more effort than moaning on Reddit, and more useful results.

[–] auzy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Who cares. It's just a fence lol

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

The proper way to address them is "Neighbor ____" with the blank being their first name. I will let the very educational comic Pearls Before Swine illustrate:

I have a peculiar set of skills.

"You could have just said you have particular skills!!"

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And show him that nails don't need to go 2 inches past the boards you are joining.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Hamartia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

it's beyond the pale!

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I agree with all the people saying cut the screws flush. Its a safety problem and you're doing him a favor

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Omg I just noticed the nails. The guy just bought the longest ones he could find.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Or just used whatever he had lying around.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bet they don't own a table saw and this is the length the store sold them at.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or maybe, they're trying to make it taller the ship of Theseus way.

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also my first thought! I wanted to do that with a deck once but that's a little unwiser.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 13 hours ago

I guess maybe if you kept the railings up, and taped off that part of your yard...

[–] woodenskewer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No table saw needed. You could use a 10 dollar hand saw from horrible freight, measure the length and pull from the finish end and cut it like a normal person.

I guess it's good he didn't cut them to match so it stands out for the guy who pulls weeds in between the property lines. They'd be less likely to get stabbed by a 16 penny nail. Even getting scraped by a nail hurts like fuck. Anyone dismissing the nail portion of this job as "ok" or "have a friendly conversation" is missing as many brain cells as the person who fixed this fence.

you need to put a one brown board for the stink

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 249 points 3 days ago (20 children)

I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts
