I'll say up front conterversy directly effecting me reach'es boiling point,or at least much sooner if neighbors try throwing a coon on me.
When land around me began developing I offered compermise and reasoning but new neighbors wouldn't have it. Level land that drains slowly from West to East into seasonal creekbed. I asked every new landowner joining my North or South boundery to pay part of expense to hire a maintainer tractor to throw up a road bed leading to creek on the intire property line. Divider fence would sit in center of crown. "Naaa,I'll just bring in dirt to build up my lot if I have a problem." Fast foward 3 years and I had the maintainer create a ditch 8'inside property line. Soil from ditch was pushed onto line creating a 10"high levee. Start's off with one guy with connections for a belly dump hauling in several hundred yards(I estimate 500 yds) raising grade on his two acres by about 2". Cry like a pig under a fence doesn't come close to describing the reaction of his two neighbors to the west when their yards stood 1"to2" after heavy rain. Their solution was bite the bullet and have soil hauled in. Big suprise,500 yds and spreading is an expensive indevor. If you've dealt with this before you know that raising the 2 acre lots 10" will be impossible because water will run into the house,not to mention cost of enough soil in the first place. I met requests to breach my levee with reminders of when I offerd to share costs and that they can still do it,,,,,,if they can all agree and are willing to remove yard fences to alow machine access. She hit a fast boil when a couple of them breached my levee. Worked pretty well to. I sent registered letters demanding they immediatly repair levee or I will repair and send them a bill. One feller alowed he would just tear it down again if I repaired the levee. The pot boiled dry and pan practically melted when I repaired the levee and sent a bill. A 4020 with a front bucket full and weighted box blade on the rear sure leave's some serious ruts while spinnig around. They figured I owed them for damage to their yards but my answer to their lawyer convinced them they were about to send good money chaseing bad,suit was dropped. Another suit was dropped after a hearing where I said I was simply preventing my water running onto them and compounding their troubles. Want to hear about fishing or hunting posted land in Texas without permission? How bout trespassing on land they thought"nobody owned"? I will pi$$ on a spark plug to get along but I will not take a shaft everytime I stoop over.
