Surprised nobody has done BobLawblaw's post before now.
A straight talking guy.
A neighbor fucked him off over boundary lines, they couldn't sort it out man to man so settled it legally.
While boundary fence was erected. He provided security with firearms and drone footage
A few harsh words for you is minor action.
The disputed fence line finished being built out late yesterday
No shenanigans with the neighbors whatsoever after their lawyer finally explained to them "consequences will never be the same" etc etc
"They" did do a drive-by on their side of the property in their pickup truck to eyeball the work while it was being done, but I had a geofenced drone in the air tracking them upon seeing them coming, and I'm sure the FN SCAR 20s I had slung around my back sent a clear message to further stay away.
TBH, it was less about the money (a trivial 5 digit payment to my lawyer for handling the formalities), and more about those fucking dickheads setting back this phase of the project for four months. They didn't even present a competing survey as they promised. It was all bad-faith time wasting on their part.
Fucking retards. Good grief.
One thing I realized after buying my property back in 2007, is one has no control over whether or not
one's neighbors turn out to be decent folks or assholes. (or anything in between)
The protracted neighbor wars I read about online is surely "shake my head" material.
It would seem that feuding with one's neighbors, for whatever reason, can be tiresome, and stressful, and it usually never works out well for either side.
I plan to live out my days at my current place, so feuding with the neighbors is definitely not in my interest.
So I make every effort to maintain, at minimum, a cordial relationship. I usually acknowledge them in passing with a simple wave and/or smile.
If any conflicts arise, (they haven't, and hopefully they won't) I would hope it can be worked out swiftly without involving lawyers and/or protracted legal issues.
Because the residual aftershocks/awkwardness will most likely never go away, as long as you are still neighbors. I myself cant imagine having to live next door to someone I cant stand.
Like making sure the coast is clear to fetch the mail, not making eye contact on summer days doing yard work, etc. That would really suck.
I consider myself lucky that I get along fine with all my neighbors. One even invited me over for Thanksgiving as he knew I was on my own.
We are, however, definitely not "fishing buddies" if you get my drift. That is, we don't hang out on a regular basis, and we are all good with that.
Good neighbors should be just that, good neighbors, nothing more, nothing less, not necessarily best friends, imho.
Having said that, good luck to you and Rick with your ranch. I wish you all the best.
I'm quite sure your bitcoin retirement will serve you well, regardless of any neighbor issue.
