Fence on my property.

I am building a fence between my property and my neighbors. She is upset because the "good" side is on the inside, where it can be seen from a vantage point on my property. I am not asking her for any $$$ to build this fence so shouldn't I be able to face it any way I please?

Answer:
Absolutely. It is your fence and you can do it any way that you wish. Now you know where the term "spite fence" comes from! If you value your relationship with your neighbor, you might want to make the fence attractive on both sides through the use of paint or stain or in the construction design. The extra money in making the fence attractive on both sides will pay big dividends in good neighbor relations for years to come.
