Homeowner says neighbor wants $2,000 to connect to her 2.5-year-old fence despite no earlier cost-sharing agreement, then they later discover the survey caps show the fence has been built on their property

This homeowner wanted to connect new fencing to a wooden fence their neighbor had installed 2½ years earlier, but the neighbor requested approximately $2,000, representing half the original cost. Rather than pay or sacrifice valuable yard space to put up a duplicate parallel fence, the homeowner is considering their options and the neighbor's proposal. If they did build their own fence, they are unsure how that area of the yard would be maintained and how the landscaping would work.

A later update added a complication: after locating survey caps, the homeowner believed a corner of the neighbor's fence might actually sit slightly on their property.
