10) "Rails" or cross -members were installed on both sides of the fence. See our photos and response #3 above. The fence looks the same on both sides. It was designed and built that way. The Schneiders' photos were taken before the fence was finished. 11) We have no idea what this particular complaint is about. The fence is not falling down, so it was obviously "screwed on" correctly. The screw and nail heads are all visible only on the Maloneys' side, though, which makes the Schneiders' side the "finished" or "best" side. 12) & 13) With respect to the Schneiders' claim of loss of value and enjoyment of their property, the fence has only reduced the incidence of trespassing on our property by the Schneiders and by numerous students from Mounds View High School. Real estate experts state year -in and year -out that one of the best value enhancers for homes is a good fence. This fence is made of top -grade cedar, and is designed and built far more solidly than the pre -fabricated fence sections found at Menards and Lowes and other home - improvement stores. While examining the project at one point, one of the city's building inspectors declared to us that the fence had been erected "with great care." We believe so, too. It will last for many decades and look perfectly fine on both sides without any need for stain or other types of maintenance. See the following quote from the Cedar Outdoor Products Web site, and note the reference to avoiding direct contact with the ground (www. cedar.-outdoo r.org/cedar_p.roducts/intro.:htm): "Western Red Cedar is a superior all-weather wood fencing material. Cedar wood fencing is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage. Cedar wood fencing has a unique, grown -in -the - woods preservative oil that means no further treatment of the fencing material is needed unless the cedar fencing material is in direct contact with the ground ... This allows your cedar wood fencing to age gracefully through decades of extreme weather." Or this quote from Repair-Home.com, "the home improvement site" (www.re-pa-i.r-h.om.e.com./Cedar lence Cedar Fencin..htm:l.): "Perhaps one of the most attractive qualities of cedar is the fact that it is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage. It is because of this unparalleled resistance that so many people choose to use cedar for their fences and home siding as well as for furniture, especially outdoor furniture and other garden items. Cedar is an exceptionally light wood that won't shrink or warp like many other woods do." With respect to the few inches of the Maloneys' property on the Schneiders' side of the fence, the spaces between the bottom of the fence sections and the ground will allow the grass there to be trimmed with a weed -whacker from the Maloneys' side of the fence. Leaving space between the ground and the bottom of the fence was recommended by city staff and is also recommended by knowledgeable fence builders (see quotes in # 12 above). So, with the best of intentions, we proceeded to use the pre-cut six-foot fence boards provided by the lumber company, all placed a few inches above the ground. 14) The builder, Tom, is a personal friend who has worked on many construction projects. Originally he was going to help Tim Maloney to build the fence but Tim's schedule became too full during the fall to permit him to take time off work to tackle the project. With students from Mounds View High School continuing to cut all the way through our property and further damage the grass and hill in front of our house (see our
