What an A-hole. Guess he can't afford a saw.

And those damn screws.

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:

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

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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 2 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

I'm on the fence about that one.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago

Or just used whatever he had lying around.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 248 points 3 days ago (7 children)

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

[–] consumptionone@lemmy.world 61 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The 3 inch nails protruding through the rails are much more complaint-worthy than the too-tall pickets.

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

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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.

Cut the screw ends off and toss them back on his side of the fence so he can find them with his bare feet.

It's not just the posts. The neighbor used nails that are way too long. IMO that's a safety hazard.

Perhaps the neighbor is just going for a taller fence... Over time.

Yes the screw length would be a big concern.

Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.
