I've got a bit of a situation with my neighbor over a fence. The fence builder we hired messed up and placed the posts a couple of inches over our surveyed property line. The panels stick out even more, and of course, we weren't there when this happened. Now, I'm trying to figure out how much of a hassle it's going to be to fix this issue and how to handle the neighbor's involvement.

You might want to consider legal action since it sounds like the builder really dropped the ball on this. If he knows he broke the rules, he should be willing to fix it at his own cost. Don't let the neighbor's demands complicate things further.
It really depends on how you want to resolve this. The builder definitely messed up by ignoring that critical detail about fence placement. Getting it fixed can be a huge headache, especially if it means messing around with the neighbor's schedule.
This is a tough lesson learned! It’s generally a bad idea to have someone do work on your property without being there. Just make sure to discuss clearly how to fix it and stay in contact with your builder. You’ve got to get a plan in place to make it right without making things worse with your neighbor.
