Massive down tree on our new fence

Paul,

I understand where you are coming from. The bottom line is that I've looked the other way a number of times and ignored quite a bit of activities on his part. This isn't about anger or revenge, it's about finding the most straight forward way of dealing with the issue and this neighbor absent his willingness to deal reasonably with the fact that we own adjacent propterties. I don't go on his property and have no interest in having dealings with him other than the minimal amount necessary due to a common property line.

I have 16 other neighbors adjoining our property and do not have these sorts of issues with anyone but him. It is telling that other neighbors have similar issues with him.

The man is unhappy because he wants more land then he owns but can't afford more.

One of the reasons the fence was put in was to stop trespassing from his property on to ours. We are fencing anyway for livestock but planned on fencing from the north pastures to the south. His bringing a bulldozer up one of our drives and across our property was the ultimate reason we decided to change our plans and fence from the south to the north.

As I indicated in an earlier post, I'm removing the tree (At least the part on my property) and repairing the fence this time but going forward he is being put on notice that if it is something he is obliged to prevent then he is obliged to prevent it.

It's all fine and well to say deal with him in a neighborly manner but the man isn't a neighbor he is someone who happens to own property next to ours....there really is a difference.

I appreciate your comments Paul even though I don't think you fully appreciate the situation. You at least take the time to read the posts.

ya know what? I really don't care whose fence it is! Or what it's made from! I was trying to put a different perspective up for you. You can fix it, or just gripe? It really makes didley squat to me. Seems like your better at some things. The fence repair is really a small job!

Your origional post made no statement about which side of the property line it was on. If you choose to fence your land out, by putting a fence "on your land" so be it! Just doesn't make sense to me? If it's yours, why don't you take care of it? Oh yeah, you would rather create a fire and ask for others blessings, as you put it out!

If you don't want an opinion, don't put it on a public forum.

Oh yeah, Bless your little peapicking heart too!
