Pesky neighbors! Almost everyone has them, and I'm no different. My husband is a contractor, so he got the guys together and today we are having our stockade fence replaced. On Sunday night, my husband and sons were out there tearing the old fence down when who should come over and start yapping?
Billy Bob!
He wants to know if he can have our old fence. My husband said sure.....but our old fence is falling apart and is 15 yrs old. Billy Bob said, " now I can have me a stockade fence". What did i do to deserve a neighbor like this? First of all, Billy Bob is now allowed to put up a stockade fence without a permit. We had to get one from the city.
Second, Billy Bob is a renter. I think the homeowner would have to get the permit for him. Billy Bob was so confused. At first he asked if we were replacing our driveway. ! Then he said something really amusing. He wants to come to one of my husband's baseball practices and talk to the kids about the danger of drugs/alcohol. This is a man who still drinks quite a bit. Maybe he's given up drugs, but he has heart problems, and I just saw him staggering around on Saturday night, i think. The parents would flip.
The "kids" are 15, and 16. I think they could tell that Billy Bob has problems the moment he started speaking. Who wants to hear from an alcoholic the dangers of drinking or using drugs? That's like Don Delouise telling you not to eat ho ho's.

Just because he has a fence doesn't mean that he has the right to put it up without a permit. And whatever he does is likely to come down on the property owner's head.
You probably already know that in Annapolis you need a fence permit, AND the permit application has to be accompanied by a notification form that the neighbors have completed if the fence is more than 4 feet in height (3' on the corner sides and front yard). Go! Narc on him now!
Very cool design! Useful information. Go on! »
