It sounds like you and your neighbor have a property boundary dispute, specifically regarding the use of the one-foot strip of land that is on your neighbor's side of the property line but is necessary for you to access the other side of your wall.

However, in many cases, property owners have certain rights to access and use portions of their neighbor's land, known as easements or rights-of-way. These rights may be granted through legal agreements or may be established by law. Depending on the circumstances, you may have a legal right to access the one-foot strip of land on your neighbor's property in order to maintain or use your wall.

If your neighbor is preventing you from accessing your wall or using the one-foot strip of land, you may need to take legal action to resolve the dispute. This could involve filing a civil suit for a decree requiring your neighbor to allow you access or to establish an easement or right-of-way.

Before taking any legal action, it may be helpful to try to resolve the dispute through communication and negotiation with your neighbor. You could consider speaking with your neighbor to explain your needs and concerns and to try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. In some cases, mediation or other alternative dispute resolution methods may be effective in resolving property disputes without the need for legal action.
