When I bought this 5+++ acres & prepped to fence, I made VERY sure of the Surveyors pin locations.
FLAGGED THEM ON HIGH POLES.
THEN RAN HARD STRING between PINS, using extra T-post to stay straight on the 2 sides that about other properties.
DESIGNED & BUILT fences that are between 6-8 inches or more INSIDE the pins. THESE ARE NOT “COMMON FENCES” that can “be used by each side”.
THESE ARE MY FENCES—and if you bring in livestock NEXT TO ME-—YOU MUST BUILD YOUR OWN FENCES. Property next to me on long side-—630 feet isn’t occupied. Property behind me==389 foot side & OLD LIVESTOCK fencing was already there, but I still built MY fences INSIDE the PINS by at least 6”.
DIDN’T COST me any more-— but it certainly will end any future arguments. Been here 19 years-—fences still in very good condition. HOT WIRE==OVER 2 1/2 MILES. T-posts every 10 feet. 13 weeks==every single day with 4 of us working.
I love that this guy is refusing to build a fence for HER dog.
ABUT other properties
“I made VERY sure of the Surveyors pin locations.”
A rich developer bought the property below us on the lake and submitted plans to the city to build a second building on his property. His plans showed his driveway running over 25 feet of our neighbor’s land!!
What a major arsehole to submit plans for approval including that! Nobody likes this guy and he’s made an enemy of everybody in the neighborhood.
“BUILT fences that are between 6-8 inches or more INSIDE the pins. THESE ARE NOT “COMMON FENCES” that can “be used by each side”.”
Read this sage advice and learn.
You have all been warned.
If it’s all on YOUR property, it’s YOUR fence.
NOT a common fence.
We all want that extra 6”.
Well, here it is.
