Kyle, My mom might have some used post for sale very cheap if you want to just repair. Let me know if you need steel post or wood post and how many. All expenses will be tax deductible for him if he if he files as a farming business.

He can complain to the tax assessor and you cannot force him to build on his side. You might want to get your hay baled this year and take pics, start preparing to prove your Agg exemption. Even if you halves fence with him he might complain. You might be forced to lease your land for cattle (or loose exemption) and will need a good fence before anyone will lease it. If you get your own cattle you need pens to load them but you don't need a trailer the auction barn will pick them up. It could cost you 10 cows and pens and a yard fence. Bird's idea of talking to a lawyer is good if you have an extra $300, but you may not like what he's says.

Have you looked into the wildlife exemption, that was my fall back to keep the Agg exemption if I couldn't get someone to lease the land for cattle.

Thanks all for the info and opinions. Don, if I need some materials, I'll let you know. Are you sure I HAVE to let them on my property to build the new fence? After what they've done/told me, the last thing I want to do is give them any money. FIL does not want the liability of cattle. Says he sleeps better at night only having to worry about hay. Eric probably gets the best sleep of all of us.....counting sheep/lambs. IMO, there's something special about being a good shepherd of a flock.

Hey, wait a minute!

Just noticed I crossed the threshold into Super Member status. Sure beats heck of Elite Member; I'm not very comfortable with so called "elite" people.:laughing:

When do I get my blue TBN shirt with red and yellow S on the front?
:shocked:

Now you've got to learn the special Super Member handshake/sign.

I did not say you had to let them on your property. Your question was: "Can I force them to build their new fence on their side, leaving mine in place?"
my SHORT ANSWER was no you cannot.
I think you read something else into it. The long answer is you cannot force him to build their fence on their side. You can't force them to build anything on their land.

I don't see why they would need to get on your land to build a fence. I have built a lot of fence that backed up against thick brush and had only access to one side.

Good evening all. 62F, fog, calm wind. fog started lifting at 10AM, wind stayed light with some moderate gusts, overcast with peeks of sun, and high temp was 73F. Men's Meeting to start, then wait for fog to lift and roads to dry. Napped before ride roads drying very slow. Refilled the wood wagon, and called it a day.
David hope the extraction goes ok. Had 2 wisdom teeth extracted, one was cracked(no problem), the upper had far more root when they got into it.
Kyle, hope you and neighbor can work out win-win deal on fence.
Eric, I am thrifty and have the depth mike from tool making days.
Ron hope tests are routine.
Drew had to have much energy if you are not eating. Not sure what supplements would help, the biking world tries a lot of stuff for racing not much really helps.
Buckeye hope they get a handle on FIL soon.
RNG hope you get van engine sorted out, have had problems with sensors that check out electrically.
Ted that is a big tree hole!
Don, thanks for explanation

I had an HOA when my late wife and I were married, we sold it in 1976 and haven稚 had one since. What a pain.

Of course we have a HOA and I love it. Before we seriously considered moving here we read every word and there were no deal breakers in it. The HOA keeps the neighbors to our standards.

The people who consistently have problems are those who lied at their closing when they sign that they have read and will abide by the HOA covenants. If they don't read them and have a problem with them later they should move.

In LS situation above our HOA states
. . .the (neighborhood) is intended to provide housing primarily for persons 55 years of age or older, subject to the rights reserved in section 11.11. The properties shall be operated as an age restricted community in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. No person under 19 years of age shall stay overnight in any dwelling unit more than 90 times in any calendar year.
Section11.11 each Dwelling Unit, if occupied, shall be shall be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older; provided however, that once a Dwelling Unit is occupied by an age qualified Occupant, other qualified occupants of that dwelling unit may continue to occupy the dwelling unit, regardless of the age of termination of the age qualified occupant's occupancy. Notwithstanding the above, at all times, at least 80% of the dwelling units within the properties shall be at least one person 55 years of age or older.

If anyone sees a situation where they might have a grandchild under 19 have to live with them more than 90 days a year why would they agree to the above?
