Crooked lattice extension

Without any notice my new neighbor came in with a chainsaw and removed all the ivy on the fence. The fence was built many years ago on my property. The ivy that was on my side was lifted over the fence and removed. I know it was overgrown and that it’s invasive, but the fact that he didn’t talk to me first made me angry. I approached him about in the nicest way I could explaining that I value my privacy and we could have worked out something if he had just talked to me first. He apologized and said he would put up a lattice extension. Now 2 months later this is what I have. It’s very crooked with an empty space underneath.

The property has sunk over many years and the fence went with it. I don’t understand why he didn’t level the top. I’m reticent about bringing this up again, but what he’s done is driving me a little nuts. Every time I look out the windows this is what I see.

After looking it closely I think he can take the entire thing off of the 4x4s and level it. I could easily plant some bushes to balance it out.

I would love some feedback about this because it’s caused me to lose some sleep.
