Ancient landmarks*

Well, I am finding some things different about the south and I think too many people do things without checking with the courthouse. We had some neighbors disputing property lines in Nettleton at Barbara's place. We hired a surveyor to get the true scoop and settle things. People go for years on what the older generation said without checking it out. The east side was less than originally thought and that was the neighbor that started it. Well, not only him, Barbara's Nephew built a fence right up to the front side of her mobile home and continued the fence on the backside. So one end of her trailer was inside his fence by about 20 feet. She loses about 5 ft on the east side. the north side neighbor has a fence that starts on his side of the line and crosses over to her side by the time he gets to the other end. It's about equal, it just needs to be straightened. the south side is the border between her property and her sister and nephews house. Barbara's lot is L shaped and extends to the road on the south side behind her sister's lot. Her sister's house extends 12 ft on the carport side onto Barbara's property. The house without the carport is right on the line. Nobody got a surveyor back then before they built the house. The surveyor was telling us about a place he was just working on where a man built a barn and then found out it wasn't even on his own property. The whole barn is on his neighbor's property. He finally has it surveyed after he built the barn. I guess there is a lesson to be learned in all this. :) Its worth the money to hire a surveyor before you build buildings and fences. People get away with a lot that we couldn't in the big city. Barbara's mobile home is totally inside her boundaries. While this is fresh in everyone's mind, I may be building fences. Maybe even one right up to the side of the nephew's house, just to be ornery. Neither Barbara nor her sister could ever sell their property until this is fixed. Proverbs 22:28 "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." The surveyor did say when they find an old landmark it takes priority over what the deed says. If the deed says 140 feet and there is an ancient landmark at 142 feet or say 138 ft. the ancient landmark wins over the deed. God bless, LVZ.
