Thanks for advice. Notching arris rails on a slope frightens the life out of me. I’m happy to have rails on my side as I plan a new hedge on my side to cover it up. Will give some privacy whilst hedge grows !
So I’m ripping out the dying hedge and was planning a feather edge fence (agreed with neighbour). The ground slopes gently then steeply then gently at the end. About 100ft all told.
Sorry it’s sideways.
What looks best in this situation as here are some apparent options? What would...

If the original owner of your house looked on and did nothing whilst the neighbour expended money building the outhouse and downpipe he has effectively acquiesced on behalf of himself and his successors to the downpipe. There is said to be an estoppel.
After 20 years...
Lost a clay ridge tile in the storms. One close to gable end. This was a weighty beast 46cm long 90 degree red clay tile on a 1930's house with slate roof. That was some gale. I have sourced a replacement from a reclaimers.
I've not been up there yet - I'm having to invest in a long ladder -...
I've got a set of rope light christmas bells. The unit that made them flash gave up the ghost. I've cut it out and I know lights still work. They cost me around 60quid a few years ago so trying to salvage them.
There is a left bell and right bell and they flash left right left right and so...
The bottom edge of double glazed back door has split and broken off with wear as we've walked on it. Is this repairable ... Albeit by a professional?

Where is the air con recharging point on a Focus 07 plate please?
Lifting the bonnet there is a capped valve marked 'recharge' just to the right of the drivers side headlamp. Is that the beauty?
