Six-foot wooden fence, 300 feet long behind our property and two lots to
the south, three more to the north. Fence was installed by the owner of the
property on the other side of the fence. His claim was that it was situated two
feet inside his property line. Over time, my trees grew to enclose parts of the
fence, which is neither here nor there.
About a month ago, I noted a survey team working along the neighbor’s very
long property line. A few days later my next-door neighbor asked me if I had
noted the placement of the stakes and flags indicating the boundary between our
property and the property on the other side of the fence. I had not, so I went
to take a look. The entire fence is inside our property, not on that of the
erector of said fence. My neighbor and I agreed that since it is our fence, and
old, and ugly, and disintegrating it should go.
BBBH was drinking her first cuppa yesterday morning. She glanced out
the window looking to the west. "The fence is gone!" I went to check it
out. It is gone, posts and all. There were a few pickets sticking in my trees
here and there, which I broke off. Opened up quite a vista. Well, if the full view of the IU Health Hospital maintenance facility, and a pretty good
view of Pioneer’s research facility is a vista.
The fence in background, now gone.
