Neighbors Shed

The problem is that the neighbors don't see it. They have a fence built
up to the side of the shed, and the shed makes up for the rest of the fence.

They cannot even see the back of the shed unless they come
into my back yard. In fact, the overhang of the roof is on my property
line, but that does not bother me.

Seems to me they should be the one cleaning up their property, but
I know what you mean.

That was a pretty critical piece of information to leave out until
now, dont'cha think? You could have saved some spinning wheels if you
had said this in the first place.

If it's a shared fence, you have every right to paint your side. Since
the back of the shed is de facto part of your side of the fence, you
have the right to paint it.

I'm of the belief that what they don't know won't hurt them. You aren't
planning on taking away from the value of their shed so just do it. They'll
never know. I firmly believe it's much easier to get forgiveness than
permission.

They have little motivation to paint back there. They can't see it and it would
involve an invasion of your yard for them to access it. Avoid all the hassle
and just take care of the problem with no fanfare.

I'm much more willing to work with someone asking my permission, than I am when
I'm confronted with a fait accompli. So I beg to differ.

A recipe for a rotten relationship with a neighbor.
