Week 20

The transit arrived and my son Tom and I went t the property to correct the original driveway path.

Found out that we were off quite a bit, so we began correcting it.

The southern neighbor complained that we crossed the line about 100'. We met with him and he showed us the surveyor string he ran from the front property marker to the rear marker. I didn't realize that a survey had ever been done - found no mention of it in the county's iMap database. But the markers were clearly in place. Could have save much trouble and work had I known. We had indeed crossed into his property. He's rightly upset, so I need to try and make it right with him.

Moral of the story; when buying land insist that the seller provide a survey with boundary markers, especially along the critical areas!
