Shouldn't the neighbour still talk to the other person before money starts being spent? Man, my gears would be so ground if I just got a bill like that one day. I owe you a grand, do I? For a fence? Ok, here's $1,000 worth of loam. I figured you want a garden. What's that? You don't? Too bad.

Seriously. It's complete BS that a neighbour just starts building something like that and expects money afterward. How does he know that maybe the neighbour is fully capable of building a fence himself, and maybe has a father in law that can get him lumber for dirt cheap? There are many reasons why you're an absolute fool to go building a fence without consulting your neighbour beforehand.
