the point is i dont lack respect for neighbors. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author max dodge wrote you obviously dont read what i write. in my example i specifically stated that if both of the neighbors agree on the 7 fence i also asked if you should be able to do as you please regardless of whether the neighbors like it or not and you said yep its your property. .
