Definitely not worth falling out with a neighbour if it can possibly be avoided.

Get a quote - its not that expensive to have it done by a contractor. At least the boundary isn't in dispute.

Funny you should mention ivy. We use that to disguise the neighbour's prefabricated concrete garage wall that forms part of the same boundary. Still we are making progress with said fence. There is a skip load of wood, ironwork and general debris to be shifted before I can start digging the post holes. Materials are coming mid week so no need for the bonfire.

I agree Bob, not worth the bad feeling.

Hope everyone enjoyed the good weather. Managed to trim lleylandi trees, re-felt potting shed roof, fix guttering on other shed and spear myself in the stomach with a broken piece of fencing!

Time for a few cans :)

I've got a stinking cold, one of the children isn't well, so all and all, we're having a great time! Just relaxing and recharging my batteries.
