Las Vegas homeowners agree to a neighbor's request of a 50/50 split of costs for a new fence along the shared boundary, $5,000 for the 85-foot section—neighbor has it built with all the framing on homeowner's side, ignoring existing "Good Neighbor" design
An agreement to build a new fence along a shared boundary and split the bill deteriorated, just like the old fence, when the neighbors had the fence built with the "good" side entirely facing their property, not following the existing design.When these homeowners were approached by their neighbors about splitting the cost of replacing an 85-foot long fence that ran between their sections, they had expected that the replacement fence would preserve the "Good Neigbor" design, which is when a fence alternates it's facing with each section so that both sides have an equal mix of "clean" fencing without any framing showing, and then sections where the framing is showing on their side.
