The fun thing I've found about hanging on the edge, when you finally let go, you never know where your'e going to end up. It could be a really fun place. And a not so fun place for your neighbors. Hang in there. There are a lot of us rooting for you. Not to get too radical (altho there have been some real radical solutions on this thread) a Barrets 50 Cal single shot could be a solution. OOPS, their trailer is too close for that. How about a Claymore (face down in the leach field?)

WOW the lucky 13th page

Hmm, I'm thinking it's time to plow up the new garden. Got any ideas for the location?

OK, this got too far down into obscurity for me so it's a bump to the top.

Well?

What's new?

Is that all?

Sorry nothing to post yet, or new.

Other than to say they never go outside anymore.

I did see the husband change the propane tank yesterday when I was watering the horses in the barn.

Can’t afford to rent a backhoe to dig up their leach field right now. Money is tight on disability.

I promise I will keep all informed of any developments.

C'mon Steve. Feed us. Heck, he had been stirring the pot, it's your turn.
Glad all worked out.

Would you rather I made something up?

Sorry I won't do that. I like having you folks here for me and wouldn't make something up just to keep everyone talking.

When something happens I will post it.

Deer season starts tomorrow maybe I can luck out and catch the husband tresspassing, hunting accident would be an easy way out.

Well an excavator showed up yesterday next door. They unloaded it of the truck, cut down a tree in their yard to get it over to the other side of the yard where they are going to put in the new septic system. That was around 11 AM. Then it just sat there the rest of the day.

Called the permit guy, said they have a permit to put a new system in.

No word on what they are going to do with the old system, if they are just leaving it in place and disconnecting it or removing it.

Just wanted to keep everyone informed.

Sooo, any excitement this weekend or today?

Wonder what kind of system they're installing? As I recall, the only place around their property that would perk was where the old tank was (and that was actually on your property).

quote Originally posted by Vonov: Wonder what kind of system they're installing? As I recall, the only place around their property that would perk was where the old tank was (and that was actually on your property).

So far they have brought in over 20 or maybe even 30 dump truck loads of dirt, haven’t really been counting. To build up the new system above.

Trucks started coming in this morning at 7 AM.

I will take a picture from the roof of our barn today. Should be a good shot of all the work.

They have been telling the contractor they don’t know what they are doing, that’s not the way they do it in NY city.

So the guys have been working till lunch and then calling it quits for the day. I think that’s all they can stand.

Sorry about the delay posting the picture of their new septic next door.

I’ve been trying to repair a horse trailer for a friend, tough for me with all my problems.

Anyway here is the picture of their septic from the roof of our barn. Note the height of all the new dirt that was trucked in.



They had a lot of ledge under the top soil, to the point they had to put in a raised system.

How close is the work to the property line? Is the protective barrier well within their property? Do you know people who can tell you when the old system is unplugged? How bad does it rain there and are they now uphill?

quote Originally posted by Gokart Mozart: How close is the work to the property line? Is the protective barrier well within their property? Do you know people who can tell you when the old system is unplugged? How bad does it rain there and are they now uphill?

Protective barrier is about 2’ on their side of the property line.

We are on a first name basis with code enforcement and pluming inspector, small town.

Rain is an issue, we get a fair amount, and snow can be upwards of 10’ a season.

They always were up hill, now this has raised the level of the septic system a few ft. not sure but I think they installed the tank yesterday. I spent most of the day under our friends trailer.

New septic tank for next door arrived just now. 8 AM this morning as I was moving horse trailer in front of the garage to put safety chains on it.

ok first off, I just read the first page and the last page... yes i skipped the middle... I'm not sure about the surveying regs in your state, but here in Texas, you have these issues to deal with when it comes to boundary lines:
first and foremost.. only a state registered surveyor can set property corners, the removal of said corners is a State Felony, sometimes reffered to as a federal felony..
Second is, fence posts and fence lines are secondary and losely recognized as boundary lines depending on circumstances..
(edit) most areas have easements for utilities & drainage and building setbacks along the property lines.(edit)

Get a survey!!!
Now if you build a fence, i wouldn't recomend placing it anycloser than 1/2 a foot to the boundary line thats established by the surveyor, most suvrey companies will do a fence stake for you also. meaning they will stake out points on the property line at 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. feet depending on your request...
cement in the posts!! If they remove the cemented posts, yuo can sue them for destruction of private property...

thats my 2 cents..

Josh

BTW I've been surveying for 12 years and I'm registering with the state of texas to become a SIT (surveyor in training)

[This message has been edited by NSAN1T (edited 11-09-2006).]

Josh...maybe you need to read the middle. 2 surveys already done, surveys agreed that neighbor has encroached on the property. Read the thread. It's quite entertaining.

I figured he had.. just too lazy to read ALL the pages, that and I'm at work, and not supposed to be on the internet LOL

sorry I didn't read that part LOL

Well it’s getting interesting.

This afternoon I went out behind our barn to run a new string line on our property line. Following the new survey stakes.

Actually I used the survey posts for my string line. I figured that way I would get the straightest line and not be on their property. Put some fiberglass posts on our property to put another string line on and a live electric fence line on.

On my way out of the woods after running the first line I noticed the wife next door taking pictures of me running the line.

Can’t wait to see what comes of this.

I used to know a hog farmer in Tennessee who used an electric fence with 110 volt. I checked local code and they said there is no limit on the electric current used in an electric fence.

So I just have to call an electrician friend and see what gauge wire I need to use for 220 volt.

As long as it is posted Electric Fence I am covered. Lets see them rip this one down.

I think I'd make sure that no one else has a bad ticker before energizing a 220 Volt (??) amperage fence. Civil suits are bad enough, criminal charges are a whole different situation. I know we've joked about a lot of different "options" but, I'd hate to see someone getting fried.

As the old saying goes, it all fun and games till somebody gets hurt or killed.

Just checked with my buddy the electrician. He had me check to see what a joule was.

Working construction all those years does come in handy. I have friends in all the trades.

I did, 1 joule = 1,000 volts.

I think the old one we have in the barn is 7 joules. I would think that would be worse than 220.

But he said it’s a different jolt. Straight 220 volt and you can’t let go.

With the electric fence charger you get jolts and then a chance to let go.

As long as it is posted Electric fence I am covered for litigation.

But I guess I will just go with the fence charger, and a sign. Just to be safe.


I know I'm tired of scrolling to. Hey Cliff can we go on to the next page? Please
