Fence Questions..

Is it weird to have chain link fencing on 1 side & stockade on the other sides? (there is already chain link on most of 1 side, we'd be finishing that side to the front)

Also, the house we are moving into has the original owners on 2 sides where there isn't fences... We are buying from another original owner I feel kind of bad that it's been all open for 55 years and now we are swooping in and putting up 6 ft stockade.. it will be changing the look of their yards too since they'll have to look at it. Is there etiquette I should be following as far as speaking to them first, etc?

If you will be spending a lot of time in your yard you'll be glad you have the privacy. Maybe your new neighbors don't have the money for a fence and are nervous about who's moving in next door. I know when the woman we bought our house from put the house up for sale, our neighbors put up a fence because they didn't know who would be buying the house. Apparently the lady was upset about it, but the neighbors have every right, especially since she was moving out!
