justice rides a slow mule

years ago when i first got my 160 acres (quarter section) i wanted to put new fences up just in case i wanted to get some cattle. there were some old existing fence lines already there but they were over grown. I had got my dads D6C to clean up the lines. I had started on the south fence line. the nabour has his driveway running along the property line so i decided to leave him 22 feet of trees which were on my property i was just trying to be a good nabour. So anyway i started to cut the line with the d6c got half done and i see somebody eye balling the property line he had come over and gave me a whole bunch of static about making a big mess and i was not even done yet.Well here it is, about ten years later a oil company wanted to drill a well in the middle of my field and they wanted to make their access in the field I told them that they had to go right beside the property line along the guys drive way. so the 22 feet of trees i left him got wiped out and everything had a legal survey. there was a few trees left that was on his side well alot of them blew over because of no shelter from the wind. when he cleaned up the trees that had fallen over he still put his garbage wood on my side of the fence.I did not really care about that but i could not believe how someone could be so rude! to this day he still thinks it was the oil company that wrecked the shelter belt i had left for him. I did try to be a good nabour by leaving the 22 feet of trees but i still got heat for trying to improve my land. I just thought that was a good nabour story

If you give them an inch they will take mile. Hal

why good folks surprised that a ahole ends smelling like poop??

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that people are idiots......... Some hide it a little better than others but............

My people skills just went in the toilet today

I have six abuttors including a church. All my property lines are bounded by substantial stone walls. At one time or another, every abuttor has committed an encroachment by dumping onto my land.

A couple of years ago, I was bush hogging at least 20 feet inside of my boundary and managed to cut an "invisible" dog fence. I later saw that the abuttor had tied a knot in the wire to "restore its function".

I once did a boundary survey for the Corps of Engineers at one of their flood control dams. They owned 2800 acres on both sides of the river for 5 miles upstream. Much of it was on high ground and many feet above the dam spillway. Every vector had a bronze medallion on a concrete post (or did at one point). The trees were painted with slashes and tall fiberglass markers were placed every 100 feet in cleared areas. At least half the abuttors had committed encroachments or had obliterated the boundary markers.

No good deed goes unpunished .

Shoulda bought land that borders a road allowance on all sides.
IMO Its the only way to avoid fence line conflict with neighbors.

"justice rides a slow mule"..?????.. holly cow batman! where did you did that one up? I think you watch too many ol' Raymond Massey movies... send your other half into Grand Praire and bring you home some Black Labels, you need one.
