I dunno. I'm certainly not the type of person that would stiff someone when there's mutual benefit, but if my neighbour went ahead and got the materials, hired the contractor, and then *expected* me to pay my share, it would probably result in a conflict.

Sorry, but you don't go around spending my money without consulting me first. That's like going to a persons house and they order a pizza and want you to pay half when the thing arrives. What if you're not hungry? What if you don't like what was ordered? Why the heck weren't you even asked whether you were in, before it was ordered?

If you're going to go spend a couple grand on something that is good for both of us, great. If you want me to go half on it, please take the 10 minutes and knock on my door and tell me that you'd like to do it and this is how much it'll cost. If you don't, I'll probably not pay, just because you're an idiot. How do you know that I'm even in a position to shell out right now? Maybe there are more important things in my life right now than a fence. Seriously, don't spend my money for me. I do a pretty good job of that myself, TYVM.
