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.

    *our.

    This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.

    I can't say if you're technically correct as far as MLA formatting or whatever but I've been on the internet for 30 years and basically everyone puts the asterisk after the word they're correcting. I don't think I've ever seen it the way you're describing lol

    I have too and I can safely say the opposite. I think I've seen people put it after instead of before maybe a handful of times.

    Can I ask what country you're from? Is it possible it's regional?

    As long as he asked first lol which I'm sure he did.

    Dogs and neighbors gain new friends! Win-win!

    The title with the pic but without the context is hilarious.

    OP: My neighbor cut a hole in my fence.

    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!

    If you have dogs that get along, the dog door would be awesome. I bet the dogs would love it. If I was your neighbor, it would make me very happy to see your dog visit me.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Have you tried placing a speaker next to the window and playing unmuffled engine noise at him whenever hes out there?

    He probably wont enjoy it played back to him non stop, especially if it makes it harder to work on his actual engines.

    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.

    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.

    There are but unless they are like shooting off big fireworks or teenagers having a party the police won’t care which means I would have to make it a civil thing and frankly we would just rather move as that’s already the plan anyway, or was until the pandemic…

    Good fences do help make good neighbors. And, good neighbors can obviously make a good fence even better.

    I would guess the main purpose of the hatch is to prevent the dogs freely leaping between yards unsupervised.

    There are already gaps between the boards. You think the neighbour is a peeper who is unsatisfied with the view between the boards and so has installed a great big obvious "I'm peeping!" Hatch?

    It would have been cool if he asked first, but the dogs love him so 🤷‍♀️
