Any property lawyers out there?

Interesting subject...let me know what you guys think of this...I just had a house built in a new subdivision, and decided to put up a fence in my backyard. Luckily the guy living behing me already had a fence up, so I just butted the sides of my fence up to his. Problem is, this asshole's fence is like 6" off the ground, so my dogs keep going into his yard. Is there anything I can do, legally, that can make him lower his fence?

Kidding, of course. Gregorylee, forget the survey. If this is a new subdivision, which it sounds like it has to be, then the builder/contracter/developer will have extremely accurate surveys of your neighbors property. You won't need to pay for another one. To be honest, the guy probably thinks his fence is all on his property, as he probably assumed your fence was on the property line. Not that it really matters, because it is extremely rude for the joker to use your fence as his without asking anyway. I am thinking about getting a fence put in my back yard, and have already asked for (and received) permission from my next-door neighbor to use her fence as my side fence. I would never even thinking about simply doing that without asking. As for what you should do, that honestly depends on the person. It sounds like the people probably suck since they didn't have the common courtesy to ask your permission before using your fence as their own, but I would maybe attempt to start a conversation with him. If he's an ass, just be blunt, and tell him you want his shit out of your yard. If he's cool, then be nice, and tell him you want your dog out of your yard. Same goes for the other neighbor that is hanging their shit from your fence. If they're nice, ask. If not, start taking their shit off your fence and leaving it lying in their yard.

Have you tried Adverse Possessor Be Gone? You can pick up a ready made spray at Odd Lots. I'd actually recommend the concentrate, though. It's a good product to keep hadny.

I think there is a seven day waiting period on that stuff.... I also think that city council is trying to ban the "Concentrate" in the city limits as well... something about "Sprayer capacity"

Well.. .don't worry.. they still let you have the "Double Sprayer 12 guage nozzle Version" since you can also use it as "Deer Be Gone" and "Duck Be Gone" at certain times of the year.

Dude, upgrade.

You can take out the potential adverse possessor from better than 1,000 yards. It works on people you just don't like too. (On the other hand, if memory serves, you're a flamethrower traditionalist when it comes to that, yes?)

By the way, didn't you die last week? I already gave away your estate (if you can call it that)

Bad news for Terri Shiavo's Parents.... I "came out of it"-- well not actually bad news for them... I was misdiagnosed... turns out my buddy just brought me some "Bad Shine"... shhh.

Acutally, while I don't live in Columbus, my back fence is both the property line and city limits... its about 60 yards from my back porch to the fence... and my neighbors and I have prepared interlocking fields of fire... so if any of you Columbus people want to invade Worthington to increase your average tax base.... I'd suggest checking out the end of "Saving Private Ryan First"

Submarine?

I've also been practicing this-- And I'm getting pretty good at my Scottish meets Russian Sean Connery Accent...

"It remindges me of the heady days of Schputnik and Yuri Gagarin, when the world trembled at the shounds of our rocketsh... Now... they will tremble at the Shound of our shilenche. Engage the Caterpillar Drive."
