I heard hammering from next door this afternoon. Turned out it was the neighbour fixing a union flag to her side of my close-board fence with one inch nails through the boards. For the sake of good relations I decided not to have a word. It’s only one flag and it’s already up so what’s the point. However she does know it’s my fence so it’s a bit inconsiderate.
It turned out the flag was only the start.
Half an hour later she began nailing bunting along the fifty foot length of my fence. I went round and asked her to stop. I said she could leave up the flag as it’s already there.
I know it’s only a fence and a few holes will not bring it down although drawing pins pressed in would have been the sensible option.
Also had she wanted say permanent hanging baskets I’d have willingly carefully screwed them up for her But her swinging her claw hammer was beyond the pale (pun intended).
Am I being unreasonable?
