The surveyor was supposed to be finished by now, but rain (blessed rain, we don't mind it a bit) has kept him out of the field.

The surveyor says the other property owner was going by an incorrect platt map and the surveyor told him so. (Never mind I told the bastard the same thing and he sent the dozers in again after that.) The surveyor says the other property owner is now a wee bit worried he may have dozed on us after all.

Point: the same survey marks he ignored on our side he honored on his north side. On his north side are very powerful local people. He thought he could take what he wanted from us. I believe he knew exactly what he was doing.

Now we can put a lien on all of his property, I think, until he repays us for damage to our land. He's in a hurry to sell his lots. I don't think he wants to push us any more. If he pushes us, he may lose a great deal of time waiting for slow court systems to get around to our suit.

I sure hope the line in the woods was the right line, but even if it turns out he was dozing on his own property, I've been told by a lawyer that he'd be an idiot to sue me. I believed the line in the woods was a real survey line, and since the other property owner had put it there, I had no other belief available. And I get a jury of locals. :)

Meanwhile, back on his side he's been spending a great deal of money dozing what we believe is an alternate route to the interior of his own property. He had intended to use our place as his access point. This dozing he does now is the biggest indicator that he plans to leave us alone.

Or not.

We have something bigger today. We lost a man in the family we loved. So today the line, the dozing, the land, the fight is nothing. Today we grieve for someone we weren't planning to lose.

Sorry, Helen. Yeah, amazing how it rearranges your priorities, innit? Even if you're expecting it, it can still be as much of a shock and things still look as different as if you weren't. My fervent hope is that your guy is treated as he wanted to be treated and nobody screws him over. Even though we "won" in the end, my Dad's death has created a permanent break with my ex-brother and ex- cousin. Finito, no forgiveness, just indifference now.

Peace, Helen.
