I had a neighbor tell me he owned two feet on my side of a shared fence and I needed to keep my dogs that far away somehow.
So I built a fence on that line just where his mower won't fit down it and spray my side. Its funny watching the ****er weed eat it every time lol |

Section line fences in rural areas are a whole differant animal. Some fences may have been in place longer than the existing section corner. The original surveys when you trace back in the field notes they state raised a mound and set an oak post. Then the blazed trees and referenced said corner and section line. Well those no longer exist so a surveyor retraces and follows in the footprints of the original surveys as best can. The equipment has evolved we are more accurate but the original lines stand. A judge many times rules that old fence is the monument to the line and to hell with the surveyors evidence.

I agree to some extent. I have been doing this for 40 years you get to know the reputations of the surveyors. Most are very ethical and do there best to retrace the original intent. Most surveyors now are willing to share there work in the area. It wasnt always this way as you were a competitor to them. |

Perhaps if you explained how much of a nuisance it is, maybe they'd be willing to do something to mitigate the problem or end it. Bring it up, see where it goes. I don't know the law but then you might want to get a lawyer to tell your options. |

For the record, I'm not looking to reclaim property. Probably should not have even mentioned that my line actually goes 5 feet beyond the fence, just thought it was a funny tidbit. My issue is trying to figure out a way to deal with this that doesn't result in pissing everyone off. I just want my yearly job to be easier.
I'd love to just get rid of the fence to be honest. At least it gives me room to work and I don't have to fight with the fence to cut shit. Would love to just put up a stone ****ing wall so none of this shit can grow through it, but that wouldn't solve all the shit coming over the top like it is now. Shared fences really suck because neighbors never want to deal with them. Our neighbors to the east decided to tear out all their fencing but the one on my yard. Never even came to speak with me if I'd be willing to split the cost. I would have been thrilled to get that fence torn out and upgraded. I can't afford to do the entire thing myself. for the life of me I don't know why they did everything but the fence on our side of his home. I'll have to post a picture of how run down that fence is becoming because of his dogs constantly clawing at it. Last edited by 007; 05-18-2018 at 10:49 PM.. |

If the property line is wrong then that is your fence

There is no way that it will remain "civil" that much is for sure. As I said in my post - we bought into a brand new neighborhood in Olathe, KS. It pissed the neighbors off to high heaven because rather than the line being "split down the middle - we actually had a couple of feet more than they thought. That's why when we put the fence up - they were sure that we had gone too far on "their side". The fence company actually went 3 inches INSIDE our boundary in order to NOT overlap onto their property. The best way (I believe) to possibly rectify this situation is to have your property surveyed and then approach the neighbors in a "friendly" manner and say "Hey! Were you guys aware that your fence is actually on MY property" - keep it friendly (or as friendly as possible) and see if they might not want an equitable solution to the "problem" Which - you might offer to "forget about it" if they would cut their bushes (weeds) back across the fence.. Who knows? Might work....and then again..... Which might inevitably end up with |

roundup all the shit you can. Plant some nice bushy pines. In a few years you won’t see the neighbors or the shit growing on their side
