I told her all I really legally need to do is cut off like 2" of the vinyl connector (two inches to be sure) to be completely and 100% only on my property if she wants to make a stink about it and she still wont be able to access the other side of the fence. I told her I would be willing to go in together on moving her fence at the back closer to us and onto the property line but she doesnt know what she wants. The only other option is that I act like a jerk and build a whole new side fence an inch back from the property line and shes still liable for that foot between fences she now would have to tear down her fence to get to. I only bring up the setback incase she gets nasty as Ive only been pleasant despite the fact she brought this up on xmas eve. Her house was only built a year before ours in a brandnew subdivision with all the same zoning laws so how would I find out if the property has a variance to the setback laws put forth by both NC and the covenants of the SD? Also, wounldnt that be technically considered trespassing walking through my yard to get to that stretch where her fence deviates??? Not trying to be a jerk here but I get the feeling shes gonna be a a b**ch about this. Ive been cutting that grass all year and never complained about it.
