only read if you have a lot of time or you're boredYawn.gif

 

we have an on going legal battle with neighbor at our camp which was purchased prior to my stroke when things were going smoothly, a lifetime ago. the place was a wreck and only someone like my husband , a jack of all trades, could tackle its many problems.

our neighbor has continually moved survey markers until we paid to have it resurveyed. including putting marker on our patio chair in case we hadn't noticed. when the new survey showed how he moved them(or person unknown) we put up fence showing where the boundary was , he sued us for adverse possession! it's been 4 yrs. and after us winning each court battle but losing a lot of money, it looks like it might finally be coming to an end. hence the ranting. he has now put a floating platform with no way to get on it , in front of our property blocking our access. he has a dock which he uses. this was put here solely to block us.husband called tropers who told neighbor he had 2 days to move it. it has been 2 weeks and i doubt it's been moved.

this is the 2nd case he's lost. he was sued by neighbors when he dug drainage ditch to slow cars down. when people damaged their cars, .they filled in hole it's a dirt road, he dug it out again.they sued. he lost,

.now, we also own the other side of his property, home equity and family; , the place we would have bought if available at the time with the idea of selling current property when lawsuit finished and new holding tank put in. the markers here have also been moved. in fact he put a fence 3 ft. on our property. husband fit to be tied. at least we bought title insurance so it should be their fight. i cringe each time we go up now. 5 houses away is son's in-laws camp. we can sit on deck and watch our grandaughters run around .they love going to both camps. life is good but i'm ticked off. so much money needlessly wasted .Tantrum.gif sorry for theRant-On.gif but upset that we're going to camp this weekend and instead of being relaxing, it will be filled with stress. hope toilet works, hence the new holding tank. no room for septic system with well and neighbor.i'm sure the saga will continue.don't feel you need to listen to myblahblah1.gifblahblah1.gif . it just helps to blow off steam.everyone sick of hearing about it, including me. btw no internet there so all will be calm from me for a while.

No need to apologize Lynn. Im sorry our neighbor seems to be such jerk. I sincerely hope this all works out quickly for your family and that all of his 'issues' whatever they may be quickly get resolved. :o) take good care and try to enjoy this pleasant turn in our recently crummy weather :o)

Lynn: flashback to 2007. Bruce and I are enjoying a drink before dinner on the deck when we notice our neightbors-we call them vampires, only come out at dusk-measuring from the corner of their house to a tree limb! What the heck is that? Bruce figures an addition and when 3 months later limbs are removed from our trees and building materials stacked in their yard, goes to City Hall and guess what, no permits on file. He went over and mentioned the tree attack, no response. Called a surveyor next day, fence put in on that side a week later. the addition the neighbors put on is legal and in compliance. But that fence told them something.

 

Whatever you have to do honey. But enjoy your time and family outings. The problem person is not going away, but don't let him ruin your family time. Debbie

Don't let your hubby sit and wait on that floating island thing. If it is allowed to float over what is you property for X period of time (differes from state to state), the lake bottom that it floats over becomes HIS property!!!! Make sure he has it removed.

 

We had a lake cottage in Michigan where the neighbors put in their dock on the property line, then tethered one of their boats on our side of their dock. The lake bed under where their boat sat tethered became part of THEIR property after a few summers.

 

Of course, we were friends and it didn't really matter to either of us. It actually dropped out property taxes, and raised theirs. But since that can happen, be careful. He may be trying to take over your property any way he can.

we bought the camp from an estate. the former owner put in decks from property line to property line. he said that if you didn't people would take your property. thought he was crazy but totally understand now. he was in witness protection and nobody messed with him. he used untreated wood and when that rotted he just put another untreated one on top. part of the reason we got such a good deal. wish he was here now to visit. we wouldn't be having a problem and neighbor wouldn't have a standing camp.no lie. he was part of the mob. people still talk about hearing him yelling on the phone across the lake that if they didn't have the money by tues. he'd break their legsyikes.gif . the exposed post and many walls in house had phone numbers on them including bathroom. when i mentioned to his cousin i was thinking of calling one,but thought better of it. he had a strange look and said that was a good decision.head_hurts.gif yikes! i'll let you know how we make out. blessings lynn
