What an A-hole. Guess he can’t afford a saw.
And those damn screws.
I wish I was lucky enough to be a homeowner complaining about 2 mismatched fenceposts
The 3 inch nails protruding through the rails are much more complaint-worthy than the too-tall pickets.
They don’t even come close to the home owners fence bro
What if they were 9 inch nails instead? I’ve heard people like them
Good news is that many landlords excel at this level of craftsmanship.
I don’t know if you meant for it to come off this way or not, but to me it reads like you’re saying people who own homes shouldn’t complain about small things. Someone else always has it worse. That doesn’t mean those who are better off have no right to complain about things that annoy them (especially on the community made for complaining about mildly infuriating things).
I think it’s the fact OP is calling their neighbor an asshole for fixing their fence in a less than perfect way that really irked me. I get annoyed when privileged people want to play the victim; it’s something I know I should work on, but right now it’s a part of my character.
I get you. Until I noticed the spiked aspect of the new boards I didn’t see the problem. A repaired fence > unrepaired fence. I think it’s great.
What screws?
“Screws? Where we are going, we don’t need screws”
Has a nail gun but no table saw
I read it as “they can’t afford saw and screws”
yeah i’d go hammer them back in. safetyfirst
Maybe he is slowly upgrading it to a taller fence. Only 328 more to go.
I was just talking to someone who wants to replace their fence. Planks are expensive right now so he is as saying he would do it this way haha
Just damage the other posts…

Probably needs to do that on the other side
This was well done, the attention to detail with the poorly edited nails is really funny.
Better
If it works but looks stupid…wait it’s just plain stupid

What and deprive the nail gnomes of their jobs?

Hahahaha.
I appreciate your patience
All I see is a dude who had a limited amount of fucks to give.
Not everyone is handy or knows how to use tools. Instead of a passive aggressive post on Lemmy. Perhaps talk to your neighbor comment on the fence posts and offer to fix it or show him/her how to fix it.
“Hey how is it going neighbor,I saw you fixed the fence. Love the new wood, did the hardware store not have the right length? Yeah that is a bummer, I have a saw, I’m sure I could help you get those planks evened out in a few minutes if you’d like.”
If they are a dick after that then post away.
The proper way to address them is “Neighbor ____” with the blank being their first name. I will let the very educational comic Pearls Before Swine illustrate:
And show him that nails don’t need to go 2 inches past the boards you are joining.
Looks life a shared fence. Maybe you should have offered to help instead of making this post.
Maybe that was the deal, op puts up the posts and the neighbor puts up the planks
It’s a better fence post than the one pictured
Perhaps the neighbor is just going for a taller fence… Over time.
Yes the screw length would be a big concern.
Neighbor is slowly transitioning to better fortifications, barbed wire will come in after the fence is taller /s
He’s trying to make each new board seam like an escalation
Gonna be completely honest OP. You are really being a jackass to this person. I understand you may be displeased by the length not matching, colour even and possibly the nails. Though you have to consider most people can barely afford repairs. Also as for the nails it’s better to be safe. Get longer than shorter ones.
Have you considered just discussing the issue with them civilly. Suggest to possibly replace a few more parts of the fence or it fully as the new stable wood he put in.
Then show him how to properly replace fences. Also possibly if you have a saw for wood. Just let them know if he’s ever doing projects. He can ask or rent it from you?
Yes, the person complaining to strangers on the internet for catharsis is the jackass and not the fucker who put multiple long fucking nails through to my side of their fucking fence. The length and color might be an eyesore and idk how that person doesn’t feel embarrassed at not even half assing this, but the real big complaint is the fucking nails.
Looking at it too! There’s two fences. So it wouldn’t even bother the other person. Unless hey try and squeeze between the walk way.
Clip the ends of the screws off. Not much more effort than moaning on Reddit, and more useful results.
Who cares. It’s just a fence lol
I have suspicion that you guys don’t like each other.
Those exposed screws are way worse than the mismatched boards. Safety hazard
You mean nails?
He screwed up. You nailed it.
Way to really hammer it home.
Post about a post. Reeeeeee
As someone with buck teeth, I see no issue.
Are you sure that’s not your fence?
Yes I’m sure.
Then its facing the wrong way
Not every county, city, or location has this rule.
