Aw heck. If you are gonna go that route, just leave the fence up, and hire some hip hop graffiti artist to paint the side that faces his house...

I helped a friend recently built a playhouse for his daughter. After we poured the concrete footings and built the base, his neighbor called zoning enforcement. The were a bit apologetic, but told him it actually wasn't code, and that it needed to be moved out of his "front" yard--the front yard being everything in front of a line stretched across the front face of the house.

The irony, of course, was that we had to move it substantially closer to the complaining neighbor's house. We also decided, based on the discussion with zoning enforcement, that we could put a second floor on it and did so. Since it was his daughter's playhouse, he was also thinking hard about painting the one side that faced his neighbor--about 10' x 18' of wall--hot pink.
