I have a big problem with my neighbor.( neighbor#1) We bought our property in Alabama. At that time there was no fence seperateing the neighbors property from mine. Eighteen months later we returned to Alabama to build our new home. The neighbor has built a second home on his property for his Mother, and a new pond aswell. Their property is on a slope. They dug down the slope and used the durt to build her pond walls. They also took durt from my property. Then they put up a barb wire fence. The problem is they left a rut a two hundred feet long and fifty feet wide on my property caused by removing my durt. The fence goes across the toe of her pond, which is on my property. I asked them about it and the Mother told me to go to hell. Their pond leaks and creates a wet spot that grows a forrest of saplings and weeds which I have to bush hog. I complained to soil conservation and after six months they sent the local inspector out. His conclusion was that when he was a poor hungry child she took him in and fed him. Therefor he could not cause her any trouble. He said "It just would'nt be right". THERE IS MORE. There was another fence that intersected between her, me and neighbor (#2) The fence was barb wire. I have two horses that are retired. I do not like barb wire. I asked the other neighbor if he would be willing to let me replace the barb wire with field fence if there was no cost to him. He agreed. My hired man changed the fence. The neighbor man and I were happy but neighbor #2 (the woman) was not. She claimed that the post next to the property line marker was hers and I could not hook wire onto it. Rather than fighting with her I paid the fence co. to build a new field fence parraell to her barb wire fence, thirteen hundred foot long. BACK TO THE POND.... Another neighbor that buts up to my property on the other end has a very large pond. His over flo drain traverses through his property onto mine. via a ditch or creek what ever you choose to call it, which dumps into my pond. My pond has an over flo that goes into a tree lined ditch onto and through the womans land and so on. The parraell fence crosses this ditch, which creates the new problem..... The woman dug a hole about twenty feet wide. She banked the durt on her side which stops the flo of water from crossing my land and in the winter causes my east pasture to flood. In the summer there is a hole under the fences which would allow my calves to wander onto her land. We had the ditch plugged with a wooden post which hung in into the ditch below the wire fence,which kept the calves on my land. This morning my wife went out to check Fatso (our over due Angus cow) and discovered that the woman had removed the post that was hanging from the wire and one of our bull calves was on her side. We retrieved him. My wife helped me wire the ditch again today. This woman is a nusance. Problem is I can not shoot her. What am I to do? Tom :devil2: :devil2:
