There were storms yesterday.

Unlike many, I didn't end up trapped in work, or struggling with a commute. Instead I collected a adze and a Jason Downey, both of whom were stranded in London, and was given red wine by Mr Downey, which was very pleasant.

The storms did, however, tear my garden fence down, which I'm aware I need to go and poke today. I actually lost a section of fence from both sides of the garden, with one piece of fence ending up somewhere in my garden, and another section ending up somewhere in next door's garden. I am unsure as to who is responsible for sorting it all, and how much hassle this is going to be.

This is, by the way, a very dull LJ entry. I offer up Big Blue Dress for Warcrack players as a way of hopefully redeeming it slightly. I also offer credit to Mr Downey for showing this to me last night. It has improved the quality of my life, and I hope it will do the same for you.

I want those 210 seconds back!

Think of them as the price you had to pay for my friendship...

You bought the house, so everything's your responsibility now. :(

(or at least, so I discovered when I switched from renting to being a homeowner!)

Love the video!

Depends on who's ground the fence is on, and what your contract says as to who is responsible, be worth having a conversation with your neighbours about.

Jason is now LJ-ed, if you recall... cryhavoctm. :)

It's possible only one of the fences is - the other fence might be the neighbours responsibility. This should have shown up on the solicitor's property search.

I'll have a poke at the paperwork and possibly pop round to the neighbours as well and see if they know who owns what.

I'm also going to try and work out whether the fence is mendable without having to get anyone in.

It's indicated by small, red T shapes on the Land Registry plans.

In the case of my flat, it's wrong. Because the plans show us as having a balcony and we don't.

Usually, I think, one is responsible for those fences where the fixy bits are on your side (as opposed to the flat bits). But staying on good terms with neighbours is often better than sticking strictly to the rules of legal responsibility.

Check your deeds - or with your solicitor regarding the fence. For example I know if the hedge blew down both me and my adjoining neighbour have to fix it, where as if the fence on the other side went I have to fix it.

All depends on where the boundaries lie in relation to the positioning of the fence.
