The other neighbor just took them to court and stole the farkin' land out from under them. They had allowed the mule to browse there and both neighbors put in a garden and both worked it. Then the neighbor bitch divorced her husband and stole her neighbor's land. sigh -- Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt |

It cost them over thirteen thousand dollars to lose that land, too. $3.5k for the original survey, $10k for an attorney. Oh, and $2k for fencing to keep the effin c off their land in the future. -- Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt |

Dayum. When replacing a 50' fence on our present property (first iteration), the handyman pointed out a 1' (12") lateral "jog" which expanded our neighbor's yard into ours. After inspecting the deed, we agreed that the fence should be along the property line instead. He put the new fence straight, in it's proper place. It looks better this way. --Winston -- No lawyers were paid in the production of this special presentation. |

After putting up the fence, other neighbors complained that it was in the right-of-way of the lane next door. They had to move it 1" to 1' in from the existing point, despite County Planning OKing the original placement, at an additional $1,350 cost. A good friend of the land stealer owns the property behind me. What was once pasture land (with a small barn) now has 7 horses on it, and a pile of **** that's often 4' deep and 30x15'. This last year, she tripled the size of the barn so it now occupies almost the entire view from my sliding door in the dining room. She had originally OKed me to drop my trees onto the pasture but one day I came home to find a scraped area directly next to my fence. She put in a horse arena and said "Oh, no, you can't mess up my arena." The rest of the neighbors here are friendly and supportive. There's just that bad nest of 'em. --Winston -- No lawyers were paid in the production of this special presentation.

I hope you are upwind. This last year, she tripled the size of the barn so it now occupies almost the entire view from my sliding door in the dining room. TV projection screen for free!

I hope you are upwind. For about 90% of every day, I am. Luckily, they just moved it this week and filled in the area with gravel and sand. I'm hoping the rainy weather ahead will reduce what's under there to an unnoticeable amount as far as scent goes. I have no idea where they moved it, but a trailer is out there now. I'm hoping it's the new storage area. It's slightly downwind of me and may cure most of the aromatics... -- Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. -- Franklin D.
