My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️
He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.

The title with the pic but without the context is hilarious.
OP: My neighbor cut a hole in my fence.
OP’s neighbor: 😃
I’ve thought about asking our neighbor about putting a dog door in our shared fence so her dog and mine can play together in either yard without needing to plan out a play date. Seems like a cool idea if it can lock from either or both sides!
If you have dogs that get along, the dog door would be awesome. I bet the dogs would love it. If I was your neighbor, it would make me very happy to see your dog visit me.
The posts are facing into your yard. Wouldn’t that technically make it his fence? Maybe I have that backwards? Regardless, cool story, cool neighbor, super cool dogs lol
I always thought you would put the posts inward to prevent climbing, but another neighbor installed a fence that was built like you said. I have no idea!
Maybe it doesn’t matter?
I’ve always thought that the posts face outwards, because you get to look at the nice, finished fence, and not the ugly posts (if the fence was yours). Who knows anymore lol
I always see them posts-in, so the outward appearance (to the street, etc.) is nice. Curb appeal. Also to make it harder to climb.
I remember a fence with the slats in both sides and the posts in the middle from a childhood home. I think people just started being cheap smh
I remember those, too. Then started seeing (or maybe noticing?) The current fence styles. I think you’re right. Things are getting much more expensive, and people aren’t earning that much more, so they have to cut corners where they can. It’s easy to cheap out on a fence.
The smooth side does indeed face the owner. But it’s about maintenance, not appearance. If the fence faced the other way, you’d have to be standing in your neighbor’s yard to fix your own fence if it has a broken board.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that some people don’t install their fences backward.
Our* boys, lol
How do you know this?
edit Oh you mean the neighbor saying that. I’m slow.
The* boys
Just cuz we legally “own” them doesn’t mean we gotta refer to them that way! I’d never refer to MY dogs like that
…wait
*our.
This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.
I can’t say if you’re technically correct as far as MLA formatting or whatever but I’ve been on the internet for 30 years and basically everyone puts the asterisk after the word they’re correcting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it the way you’re describing lol
I have too and I can safely say the opposite. I think I’ve seen people put it after instead of before maybe a handful of times.
Can I ask what country you’re from? Is it possible it’s regional?
«¿Que?»
JaJaJaJa
As long as he asked first lol which I’m sure he did.
Dogs and neighbors gain new friends! Win-win!
ITT: OP posts his neighbor doing something wholesome, and commenters lose their shit, accusing him of being some kind of pervert or spy. OP is unphased.
Same here.
You andI might be projecting.
Jealous that you have such an awesome neighbor
He looks thrilled!
Yes! He was so happy when he could pet the dogs, which is why I wanted to share the picture.
Aww I love your neighbour.
is your name wilson wilson
I said that to him! You read my mind.
Now that is a social Wilson…TV reference

I would guess the main purpose of the hatch is to prevent the dogs freely leaping between yards unsupervised.
This, and if you have a latch on both sides, both sides would have to coordinate when the neighbor wants to say hi to the dogs which would get very annoying.
You are exactly right. I’m not too worried about them doing that, but he wanted to make sure my dogs didn’t escape, just in case.
We don’t all have shitty neighbors. Some are actually pretty nice. And I’m sure the neighbor asked permission first.
Yeah. I gave him old fence planks to use for building the hatch. He and his wife are a sweet older couple who love dogs. It’s kinda like living next to my dad or my uncle.
There are already gaps between the boards. You think the neighbour is a peeper who is unsatisfied with the view between the boards and so has installed a great big obvious “I’m peeping!” Hatch?
If dude is peeping that obviously it’s just called looking at that point.
Thanks for sharing, this world needs more posts like this one.
