I’m fuming at my neighbour’s ‘moronic’ fence update after building an outhouse, it’s invaded my privacy & looks ugly too

A HOMEOWNER was left baffled by the update his neighbour made to the fence between their properties. He shared his confusion over the "ugly" upgrade, and revealed why it may become even more of an issue in the future. In a viral post, the Reddit user shared a photograph of his updated privacy fence.

The poster explained that his family had only moved onto the property a year ago and hadn't had any issues with their neighbours. He added that they "don't seem like bad people" and even said he planned to discuss the spontaneous DIY with them. The Reddit user shared a picture of this upgrade, which showed a mismatched trellis replace the top part of his privacy fence at the bottom of his garden.

"So I came home from work today and this is how the fence looks," he explained. "[My] neighbour has had a building built at the bottom of the garden and a window on the building just the other side of that fence. "I understand it's to allow light to pass through the window but it looks s**te, why should my privacy be invaded for their benefit?".
The poster guessed that the new build was an outhouse and the window was to allow natural light into the space. However, he pointed out how his neighbours hadn't even done him the "courtesy of painting it or cutting it level with the rest of the fence.".
