[TheForge] OT:Land survey question

[Andrew Vida]

Thanks for the heads up but I think I would rather keep the USDA a long 
pole's length away.  A very long pole, that is.

Deed call was right on.  I marked off 942 feet to the creek and that is 
where the old barbed wire fence ends.  My neighbor is going to take a 
complete shit when he sees I ran 400' of goat fence on "his" property. 
Yes, he told me it was his.  He is wrong.  Hopefully nobody will start 
shooting at us.  Around here I'm not always perfectly confident they won't.
