我家后院属于自然保护区，是一片原始森林，邻居是一对老夫妻，所以一直是稀稀拉拉的树墙勉强有点分隔。
最近房子卖给了一对年轻人。10月30号那天close。

昨天收到新邻居一封信，说他们有2只猫，1条大狗（哈士奇），还有2岁的儿子。为了安全要修一道4ft的黑色金属fence，工程从close day 那天开始。让我share费用。

我家孩子大了，也没有动物，而且我家有一小段自己以前修的木头fence,接上金属网有点不伦不类。我提出疑问后他们说因为要在搬家前修好fence,找不到合适的工人，所以只有这样。

新邻居不和我商量就定下来，还要我出钱，真的是不爽得很。但是不能确定新邻居人品，一开始就关系就弄僵好象也不好。

希望各位大神帮我出主意怎么弄比较好。

Hi Lauren and Brad，
Thank you for the details. I agree that it is a small forest behind our yards, and we love the natural landscape. Gerry and us both felt that there were no need for a fence as it keeps the land. Though I totally understand your circumstance with pets and children. I had a close look at our boundaries this morning, and there already exists a small section of wooden fence between our houses at the bottom of the small hill, and I think that having a metal mesh might not fit in the scene as much since we already have a piece of the wooden fence. I prefer to have a wooden fence, hopefully a matching one with the existing fence. Though I realize that you will be moving in soon and needs to have a fence asap. I assum we both will live on Lochside for some years. From a long term perspective I really prefer a wooden fence with the matching pattern of the existing piece. Please go ahead installing the metal fence if you urgently need to, without My involvement. However, if in the future we decide to build a wooden fence, I will be happy to share the cost then.

Best wishes

其实修了也好，一劳永逸， 没有多少钱的， 而且邻居关系比栏杆重要， 也要站在别人的位置为他们想想，就算他们不修， 看到人家有狗有猫的， 自己也要修吧?

我的豪斯刚买搬进不久， 旁边老外邻居就要换新栏， 我同意了， 50尺长， 6尺高， 共1500刀， 完工后我给了邻居 750刀， 但开工前我先要得到修的合同和报价，最后要了收据。

1. Serve the neighbour with a notice advising of their intent to construct/repair a fence via registered mail at least 14 days in advance of the construction/repair of the fence. This notice should provide the basic cost of constructing a new division fence (4 foot chain link fence). Property owners are advised to get multiple quotes and to use the least expensive quote.
2. Should the neighbours agree to build the fence, a written agreement should be completed by both parties.
3. Should one neighbour fail to pay the cost of a basic fence, the other owner, after serving the notice referenced in step 1 may proceed to build the fence and then issue a second notice to the neighbour.
4. The second notice should be issued within 90 days of the completion of the construction/repair of the fence and must be served by registered mail.
5. The second notice must provide 30 days for the neighbour to pay the other neighbour half of the cost of a basic fence.

1. Pick-up the required forms (referred to as an Information and any required Summons) from the Ontario Court of Justice at 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby, ON.
2. Complete the Information and Summons and present both documents to a Justice of the Peace for review and consideration.
3. If the Justice of the Peace is satisfied that the owner has followed the steps outlined in the by-law, the Justice of the Peace may accept the Information and sign the Summons.
4. The owner is then required to provide the Summons to the Town of Whitby By-law Services for service on the adjacent property owner.
5. The Summons will require the neighbour to appear in court to answer to the legal action.
6. The matter will then proceed to court where the Justice of the Peace has the authority to award the fence owner with a judgement requiring the neighbour to pay half the costs of a basic fence. Any decision reached regarding a fine is enforceable through small claims court.

1. Initiate an action in small claims court.
2. Seek enforcement of the outstanding judgement from the neighbour.
