I asked whether he had a survey. He did not. Three days later, I hired a licensed surveyor myself. The stakes went into the ground on Friday morning, and the result was even better than I expected: my driveway was entirely mine, and the true boundary actually ran eighteen inches farther toward Dean\u2019s house than the old fence suggested.<\/p>\n<p>That explained what happened next. Dean had already hired workers to move the fence and spread decorative stone across part of my driveway without permission. I photographed everything, kept the survey, and sent him written notice to restore the disturbed gravel. He laughed and told me nobody was going to fight over \u201ca few feet of dirt.\u201d So I stopped arguing and called the city about permits before having a new fence installed exactly where the surveyed boundary allowed.<br \/>\n        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\"\r\n             data-id=\"rmwr-p1159-1\"\r\n                          data-key=\"p1159-1\"\r\n                          data-post=\"1159\"\r\n                          data-animation=\"none\"\r\n                          data-duration=\"300\"\r\n                          data-mode=\"normal\"\r\n                          data-lazy=\"false\"\r\n                          data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\r\n                          data-scroll-offset=\"0\"\r\n             >\r\n            <button\r\n                type=\"button\"\r\n                class=\"read-link \"\r\n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-p1159-1\"\r\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\r\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\r\n                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-p1159-1\"\r\n            >\r\n                                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\r\n            <\/button>\r\n            <div\r\n                class=\"read_div\"\r\n                id=\"readrmwr-p1159-1\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\r\n                style=\"display: none;\"\r\n            >\r\n                                    <br \/>\nThe new fence changed their parking situation immediately. Dean\u2019s widened side parking area had partly relied on land that was actually mine. Once the proper boundary was marked, neither silver SUV could comfortably squeeze beside their house anymore. Their guests could no longer swing across my driveway to turn around either. I added two removable locking posts at my driveway entrance so nobody could casually use it during parties.<\/p>\n<p>Dean complained for weeks, but the survey ended every conversation. Eventually, he paid to repair the gravel his contractors had disturbed and redesigned his own parking area within his property. I never blocked his legal access, damaged anything, or touched his vehicles. I simply stopped donating my driveway to people who had decided politeness meant permission. The parking lesson was simple: before moving a fence, make absolutely sure you know which side of it you own.                                            <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dean stood on my porch and told me the cones marked \u201cthe corrected property boundary.\u201d Apparently, during their renovation, a contractor had convinced him that nearly four&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
