My Neighbor Built a Fence Eight Feet Inside My Property—Then I Discovered His Biggest Mistake

11. The Pool Application Is Put on Hold

A few days after the meeting, the county contacted Tyler regarding the pool application.

The proposed pool location needed further review because the setback measurements did not match the actual property boundary.

Until the issue was resolved, the project could not move forward as originally planned.

I learned about this when I saw the pool contractor arrive, speak with Tyler, and leave without unloading anything.

The expensive pool project that had once seemed like the centerpiece of his new backyard was suddenly uncertain.

Rachel reminded me that I should not interfere with his construction or make assumptions about the county’s final decision.

That was fine with me.

I wasn’t trying to ruin his plans.

I simply wanted him to respect the same property boundaries that everyone else was expected to respect.

And the documents were now making that position very difficult to ignore.
