I knew that wasnt true.

I kept trying to work it out with him.

I told him I didnt want to pay for the survey if I didnt have to.

The surveyor sent me these pictures.

I have him on my ring camera at, like, 2:06PM, putting my paperwork in my door.

By 2:16PM, these stakes were out of the ground.

The neighbor came and pulled them out of the ground because he didnt like where they were.

So he picked them up and threw them on the ground.

I did send my neighbor a message and told him that he cannot do that again.

Thats destruction of property.

I put them back where I could see the stakes had been.

Put em right back up.

So anyway, he just kept saying that I was wrong.

The surveyor was wrong.

Hes going to the city.

He wouldnt do it.

He was not amenable.

He wanted me to pay for everything, to have it done, and I was fine doing that.

He doesnt want to split the cost of the fence?

He doesnt want to pay for the survey?

So now I have two options.

Would you be petty or would you be kind about it?

Juniper did meet with the neighbor and it seems they were able to come to an amicable decision.

However, that didnt last for long.

A week after that second update, the neighborwithdrew his decisionto have the tree removed.

After that response from the neighbor, Juniper read up on the laws about boundary trees.

Still, the board rejected her request and insisted on proof.

As the HOA insisted on an arborists official inspection, people pitched in and funded the $450 fee.
