So a little bit ago our surveyor marked a property line and the angry neighbor pulled the stakes out. Well, she got charged with criminal mischief, and our surveyor got a notice to appear in court regarding the incident as a witness. How happy are you to be retired from this BS. 😂
The angry neighbor has 4 charges total regarding other incidents too, assault, harassment, and something else I can't remember.
Calling in a surveyor is damn near guaranteed to piss off the neighbors.
I will credit Neighbor R for not getting his nose out of joint when Neighbor D had a survey done in order to put up a fence. Neighbor R even lost about 10 foot of yard and had to take down this aluminum carport thing because it was over the line. 😬
That could have turned out so bad, but it worked out well.
@redenigma @Kurtroedeger @PurpleDragon I won't argue with you about surveying the property, except for the cost of it. We only had two lines surveyed in WV and it cost 2k. But there was 75 or so acres. They had to climb through briar patches and thickets and up two little mountains.
We didn't have any money left when we escaped. The movers were 15 k. Our stuff was in storage for over a month. WV turned into a nightmare.
I'm still twitchy over it.
@redenigma He'll want a bigger backyard until he's old! 😄
I do believe it's illegal to move survey markers. 'Course that might depend on which state you're in.
I hope he's using dirt, at least, in the swamp.
@GeezerWench @Kurtroedeger @PurpleDragon when you purchase property, you should have it surveyed. you should know what you are paying for (or not)
i need to get my back resurveyed because i'm pretty sure the swamp house guy has moved the markers... plus a surveyer can confirm that he's adding fill to the wetlands (which is pretty illegal, but he wants a bigger back yard)
