Drilling into someones garage wall

Surely it'll cause damp?

looks like he has used 2inch external grade screws into the joint so I doubt it. Like I said I am not him and I have better things in life to go to war over some trellis. I hate falling out with people life is to short.

I just wondered wondered what the legal stand point was encase he ever got funny about it. I just don't know anyone who wouldnt think to ask. The chap other side came round nice as pie introduced himself a few months ago and asked and I said of course.

Just hate funny neighbours especially ones with double standards.

The legal situation is simple. He is not allowed to attach anything to your wall/fence without first asking your permission. He didn't - he's in the wrong. Whether you choose to do anything about it is your concern - nobody elses. However, if you do nothing you will have created a precedent between the two of you and the next thing he tries to attach to your wall without permission could well be something that you will be less than impressed with.

If he complains about grass cuttings on his path I would complain about drilling into your garage. He has no right to attatch anything to your garage.

For this reason alone, I would mention it to him and ask that he not do anything further to the garage/wall.

Neighbours do often tend to assume if something has been let go, then it's ok to do whatever in future.

Thank you I see your point.

I must mention at this point he was one of the first to move in and was in a good few months before me. He did during this time attach a washing line hook to far right hand corner of the garage right by are fence so maybe he assumed this was ok.

I wasn;t about to read chapter and verse when we moved in.

Unfortunately the "gobbiest" neighbours, the ones who do cause trouble, often do have double standards. You are quite right to have a word with him if you want to. I would suggest that you start parking outside his house again, and if he says anything to you, then ask him to remove all the fittings from your garage, as it is your property.

Uploaded pics as he has dared venture out.

You can see the trellis and the washing line hook which is positioned right over I assume to give them maximum line length.
