She is not responsible for his gutters. Period.

Irrelevant. The gutters are merely the mechanism to extract retaliation,
vengeance, and retribution. Justice is blind.

People go to jail for what can be proved, not for what they did. Often, what
they did cannot be proved and what is proved is not what they did. That's
why there are so many "innocent" people in prison.

!!?!

How did retribution get into this?

Chris asked how to deal with the need to gain temporary access to a small part
of the property of a neighbor with an uncooperative history with him. Period.
He didn't ask how to get back at her, practical and sane guy he seems to be. He
wants gutters. That's all.

Oh. Okay. I was viewing the episode as an opportunity to visit wrath on the
neighborhood witch.

My bad.

What nonsense. A neighbor is only responsible for half the cost of a
fence if:

1 - It's placed right on the property line

2 - They agree to split the cost.


Otherwise, if you put up a fence on your own property, you pay for
it. And it has nothing to do with unjust enrichment, which
typically applies to someone making an obvious math mistake on a bill
or similar. And it surely doesn't apply to gutters on someone elses
house either. Following that specious logic, I could do $50K worth
of landscaping and then send part of the bill to a couple of
neighbors, on the theory that it raised the value of their homes.
