Well, finally got my survey back from the surveyors. No bill yet, but I do have the coords of the markers and a lovely .kml file I can open in Google Earth that gives me some good info. Was there anything in there that was eye opening? Mmmm…no. And thats a good thing, isn’t it? The last thing I want is surprises.

Mathematically, I am within about 99.9% of the advertised acreage…any difference could easily be written up as a rounding error.  Some features that I was curious about are now proven to definitely be on my side of the property line. The only possible kerfuffle is that the barbed wire fence that ostensibly is the border of state land is probably a couple feet on the inside of the state land side of the border. But Id rather it be a couple feet inside their side of things rather than the fence being a couple feet into my side of things.

Not sure yet what the final cost will be, but whatever it costs is whatever it costs. The result is whats important. I know now, with reasonable and legal certainty, precisely where my realm does and does not extend to. More importantly, I know where my neighbors should and should not be.
