My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️
He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.

I’ve thought about asking our neighbor about putting a dog door in our shared fence so her dog and mine can play together in either yard without needing to plan out a play date. Seems like a cool idea if it can lock from either or both sides!
The posts are facing into your yard. Wouldn’t that technically make it his fence? Maybe I have that backwards? Regardless, cool story, cool neighbor, super cool dogs lol
I always thought you would put the posts inward to prevent climbing, but another neighbor installed a fence that was built like you said. I have no idea!
Maybe it doesn’t matter?
I’ve always thought that the posts face outwards, because you get to look at the nice, finished fence, and not the ugly posts (if the fence was yours). Who knows anymore lol
I always see them posts-in, so the outward appearance (to the street, etc.) is nice. Curb appeal. Also to make it harder to climb.
I remember a fence with the slats in both sides and the posts in the middle from a childhood home. I think people just started being cheap smh
I remember those, too. Then started seeing (or maybe noticing?) The current fence styles. I think you’re right. Things are getting much more expensive, and people aren’t earning that much more, so they have to cut corners where they can. It’s easy to cheap out on a fence.
The title with the pic but without the context is hilarious.
OP: My neighbor cut a hole in my fence.
OP’s neighbor: 😃
Now that is a social Wilson…TV reference
honestly if my neighbour had dogs like that, I would too
When I was a kid my dad did a much smaller version of this so the neighbor’s dog could stick her head through and we could pet her. The dog loved it.
As long as he asked first lol which I’m sure he did.
Dogs and neighbors gain new friends! Win-win!
It would have been cool if he asked first, but the dogs live him so 🤷♀️
He did ask first. We came up with the idea together. I didn’t expect how happy it would make him and his wife. That’s why I wanted to share. _
Thanks for sharing, this world needs more posts like this one.
That’s cool. I wish I had a fun neighbor. My neighbor rebuilds unmuffled engines 6 feet from my living room window even though I have been asking him to move to literally any other part of his property for 10 years.
Any noise ordinances? Not that those will be enforced, but it gives you a leg to stand on.
At least where I am from, there are noise ordinances but they’re written in ways like “not hear sound more than X distance away during Y hours”. So being so close to it is actually detrimental.
Also where I live you have to report noise violations through the police, which just makes it feel like a massive escalation. “You called the cops on me!?” sort of thing.
Ah yeah that’s rough. He rides a loud motorcycle to work, but I can tolerate it twice a day, especially since it’s at the same time each day.
I’m lucky to have a good one so close.
Good fences do help make good neighbors. And, good neighbors can obviously make a good fence even better.
On a tangent: that’s probably the 2nd most widely misinterpreted Frost poem after the two roads diverging in a yellow wood.
is your name wilson wilson
I said that to him! You read my mind.
You live right next to Stephen Root? Lucky!
ITT: OP posts his neighbor doing something wholesome, and commenters lose their shit, accusing him of being some kind of pervert or spy. OP is unphased.
