List just one thing you did today

I spent the morning watching this tiny jumping spider who had started to build a web on an avocado plant on the kitchen table. I had to relocate him because I couldn’t get family consensus to allow him to stay, but I enjoyed the morning with him and told him sorry about the move.

I got really angry about anti-vaxers and a cavalier attitude toward the importance of vaccinations for the protection of public health and other people's babies.
 
Burnt some more wood on my property from ice storm neighbour mentioned he had survey done I own more property than I thought I did. Have even more wood to burn. Either way all the property boundaries are a mess.
I really lucked out when we bought the property got it dirt cheap, Now worth small fortune. 20 times what we paid for it.

Neighbour had survey done wanted to fill us in as we started the fire is barrel, let us know where the property boundaries were did not expect this when we got there. They want to put in a pool so need fence.

In the US, it's always good to require a warranty deed and a formal survey rather than a quitclaim deed when you buy land. I know nothing about how Canada handles the transfer of real estate ownership but considering it was colonialized by the UK, it probably is much like US law. Land always appreciates. Our hundreds of acres are valuable, too, and will continue to appreciate.
 
Cottage country here is really messed up property lines erratic roads in weird places. plus when I bought the property a biker gang in town owned a marina as a club house really depressed prices. gang forced out years ago. now prices recovering. property lines getting straightened out by town Neighbour wanted to put in pool so needed fence on property line. I have one of largest properties in town. slowely getting property lines sorted out, another neighbour found out his front lawn is road lane between our properties is road allowance. He is working out deal with town for land swap to sort this out. Town has 800 people most older, as they pass younger people moving in. I have to get the
lot cleaned up so my buddy can cut the grass.

One of the worst problems in the US, and particularly in the southern US, is what we lawyers call "heir property".

For example, great great great grandfather owned 40 acres back in the 1800s. He died and land ownership passed to his heirs. No one ever bothered to partition or divide the property among the heirs or open a probate proceeding so a court could determine ownership. They all owned the land together as tenants in common. 200 years later, there are now 400+ descendants of grandpa, all with claims to the 40 acres, but none with property deeds recorded in official land records. There often aren't even recorded birth certificates to trace ancestry.

It's a mess and virtually impossible to identify all heirs throughout that family's history and trace their descendants and proportionate degree of ownership. Insurance companies won't insure properties with such unclear rights and titles to land. Utility companies won't run public utilities through those lands because lord only knows who really owns the land and is entitled to receive easement payments from the utilities. The insurers and utilities don't want to get sued by lawful owners who are overlooked, unknown, or are ignorant of their own ownership interests. If valuable minerals such as oil and gas are discovered on that land, who is entitled to royalties? It's a nightmare and sometimes spark blood feuds and murders.

Get your property lines identified and visibly marked and record your deed with the property description.

Fences make good neighbors. Just a couple of weeks ago in my community, a landowner hired a contractor to cut timber on her land. The contractor strayed onto over 3 acres of the neighbor's unfenced, unmarked land and clear-cut hundred-year-old+ hardwoods and merchantable pine trees. Nastiness and litigation threats ensued. The timber cutter is liable. Period. No defense allowed. Rumor has it that he paid over $50,000 for the timber he wrongfully cut in order to settle with the owner of that timber. 3 acres of prime timber is worth a lot of money, not to mention the destruction of the aesthetics of that old timberland, destruction of the wildlife it supported, the diminution of the property value for what is now an ugly, clearcut muddy piece of land prone to erosion now that the timber is gone.
 
The town is designated I bought the property from the original owner of all the neighbours properties The town know where the property lines are. Looks like the original owner passed Know as lots are sold stuff getting sorted out, currently have five neighbors. Chatted to all of them some changed ownership just in the last couple of years.

Do straighten it out. Your heirs and/or probate beneficiaries will thank you for it.
 
Not much to straighten out most of the issues are my neighbours. My kids helped cut up the trees a few weeks ago
wife an I burnt it all. Now with property line in correct place more wood to burn thought it was on adjoining property
Now have to burn this. Tree cut down years ago piled up. Plus other neighbour, had graded leeway between our houses. muddy real mess another few trees laying on our property, says he will clean it up once it dries up.
