At my last house my neighbour wanted to tear down an older fence between his yard and mine and put up a new fence. He wanted me to put in the cost of the materials, and he'd provide the labour, since he built fences as a profession. He had a dog and kids, and I had neither, and the back of my yard was also unfenced. I would have gained no value from a fence. I told him it wasn't in the budget that year, and by the time the next year rolled around we had sold and moved away.

I recently drove by, and there is a beautiful cedar fence there now. I wonder if he got the folks I sold my house to agree to that...

He came and talked to me about it, which I appreciated, and I probably would have pitched in for half the next year. If he had gone ahead and built it without discussing it with me first, there is no way I would have paid him anything.
