[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2206074, member: 10619"] And if your neighbors are as honest and reasonable as you, they should have no problem with this. It sounds like you can't afford it financially, but you're still willing to pay with your time and hard work. If I were your neighbor, I'd respectfully appreciate your counter offer. I went through this a couple of years ago. The neighborhood behind mine is at least 10 years older, so when my house was built, the fence was worn. The neighbor behind me caught me out mowing my backyard and asked if I'd be interesting in splitting the costs. As a first-time home owner in my first year at the house, I wasn't sure how to respond. Since I was about to get married and the fence was fine for the time being, I told him I'd have to get back with him on what I could due, mainly because I was planning a wedding. He respectfully understood and I discussed it, even with some of you here, and decided despite the legal obligation that either of us would have held or not held, the neighborly thing to do is split the costs, which we did.
