Mowed a section of land on neighbors property

[KennyG]

A setback for fences is new for me. I'm familiar with 5 foot and 10 foot setbacks for buildings, but everywhere I've lived, fences can go on the property line.

 

[Bad Boy Biker]

My fences are right on the property line. My neighbor had/has an issue with me so I put up the fence.

 

[airbiscuit]

I think the fence is in the wrong place due to the neighbor not allowing for the curvature.

Maybe the neighbor is a flat earther

Oh boo hoo. Taking advantage is keeping a 100 ft x 10 ft swatch mowed and cleared of branches? Over-react much?
The more I read replies from drama queens the more I will absolutely NOT say anything to the neighbor except Hi.

And here's where my BS meter just went off the scale. Is there ANYONE here who believes the OP would have zero issue with a neighbor doing this to them? This thread has really made me appreciate my neighbors more. I suspect I'm not alone on that either.

^^Same here. In fact, both land owners have responsibility of fence maintenance too. As you look at the fence from your property, you maintain the right hand half.

I don't like the idea of a shared fence, so my fences are just inside the property line, by an inch or so. I maintain both sides with the knowledge and permission of neighbors involved, and if that becomes a problem with future neighbors I can just as easily leave it to them.

lol, this is like talking to my wife....

Setup: She comes home from shopping/other..... yells & screams at me that they missed taking off a coupon that she had.

Next day, she's set to go to family reunion and absolutely refuses to take her baked hash browns..... 'because she's so mad at what the store did to her"

Huh???

So, tradosaurus comes to the internet, makes some comments, gets some clarity on responses and decides that's it....he's had enough. He's not saying another word (absolutely NOT) to use his words, to his neighbor who's got nothing to do with this entire conversation.

Folks.... Let me (attempt to) Honor Bird for a moment.... ask we all tone it down. If we keep clarifying the absurdity of his point of view.... before it's all done, we might hear in the news about someone going bat "crap" bonkers and holding a whole city hostage because he's absolutely NOT going to say anything to his neighbor except "Hi".

I personally don't want to be part of that mass extinction.

-Bird mode off

Rhetorical Question: I wonder what he'll do if his neighbors house is aflame.... he (neighbor) is crawling out the front door to (this guys) house, clothes on fire, begging for some help.

"Hi!"

Really?

This thread is good for something. I believe the majority of the neighbors fence is within 2 ft of my property line.

You sound like my wife. Makes a mountain out of a mole hill. And plenty of exaggeration.
No clairty but plenty of drama.

Start a "Flat Earth part deaux" and I will join in.

 

[tradosaurus]

I'm not being a drama queen. I have respect for my neighbors and my community. You do not.

Well aren't you special?

Are we going to start the "I got spirit, yes I do, I got spirit, how about YOU?"

 

[airbiscuit]

At some point, on your schedule, on your terms, you could always widen that section of trail about 10' or so. Takes about 2 hours +? No harm no foul.

My prediction is that at some point the OP will do this and not tell anyone. He will continue to be entertained by the posts on this tread.

I’m a land surveyor licensed in Illinois still and was also licensed in Iowa for several years. I’m not an expert in surveying and the laws in all 50 states but I doubt there are many places that require setbacks on fences in rural areas. In town is a different thing but even in town they usually don’t require a setbacks on fences except front yard.

Where I bought land for our home, everyone posts their land. In VT, your land is our land, unless it's posted. This past fall, I was visited by game wardens investigating a possible illegally gotten deer. Found out from a neighbor that someone shot a deer right next to guys house, like right outside house. Wasn't posted, no foul.
I will follow local neighbors recommendations to post, when my additional 40 acres finally closes.

Are we off to the start of another Rounded Drain Plug, or Pallets in Fields?

Do not forget synthetic oil.

We have a 300 foot limit on discharging firearms near occupied buildings.

 

[Mtsoxfan]

In CT is was 500'.
I was surprised by some of the laws here.

 

[KennyG]

In Michigan it's 150 yards (450 feet).

It would have been nice for the land surveyor to have notified me that the neighbors barbed wire fence was 10 ft inside of his property on a 100 ft stretch.

Why would he have done that unless you asked him to survey the location of your neighbors fence in relation to your property line? Take responsibility for your mistake.
