PVC Fence Installed - Neighbor Dilemma

Hi All!

We border 2 homes - one to the left and one to the right.

We informed both of our neighbors that we were getting a new fence. The neighbors to the right said, great and we will split the cost of our side of the fence with you.

The fence was installed in September our neighbors told us to give them a couple of weeks to come up with the money (roughly $800). We said no problem, again we felt very fortunate to have any help at all.

Well, it is now June and still no money from them. They have brought it up twice to us since the fence was installed, but still haven't given us nothing.

Now, I can't go over there and ask for it, right? I would feel weird. Even though they offered (we never asked), I can't ask them for it.

However, their house is now up for sale. Once they sell, I feel like I should ask them for the money. My DH said no and to just forget about it.

What do you think?

If they come up with it consider it found money.

I doubt they would pay for it if they dont intend to enjoy it.

Good Luck!
