txdon;Drew do you have a title insurance claim if the total acreage is the same?[/QUOTE said:
No I don't Don and I asked the surveyor to recalculate based on the new measurements and they came up very close to what was printed on the deed. So I got all my land, it's just not where I thought it was.
long day. walked the entire property line with the surveyor. Met a number of neighbors including the guy who had piled all kinds of junk "over the line". He just retired, is very nice, got along fine with the prior owner and asked if he could wait to move the piles of brick, pipe, some raised garden bed woodwork, etc, until later this year when it got cooler and I of course said sure, and that I'd bring my tractor over and help him move it. That went over well. Moving down the line, through the swamp, spiders in face, literally balancing on slimy logs to get over a wet spot. Found another neighbor had junked a fiberglass boat on my property. That sure is going to get moved. But otherwise things were where I expected them to be, except for I found out I own a whole lot more legacy ditches and I have even more ditch cleaning to do.
So, turns out I'm buying my little wooden bridge back from my neighbor, in fact about a third of the one acre is land I thought I already owned. Oh well...someone screwed up long, long ago and that ditch line was off by about 30 feet.
the surveying company is the oldest and most respected in the area; I'm pretty confident they got it right. The owner said he personally checked it four times. Ok.
So after walking for what seemed like miles, then came back and mowed the lawn. Thought I could get away with just part of it but it all needed it. Getting to be be careful what once asks for. My weed and feed and the pretty consistent rainfall has made the grass grow about half an inch a day. At least all the places I had to repair filled in.
Need to extend bicycle route only have it up to 12 miles.
