Right of Way


After we began work on our house, but prior to our moving in, a landowner of a property above us put up a fence around the lot that he has for sale. I suppose the reasoning behind the fence building is to show potential buyers the size of the lot. This certainly is within the property owner's rights but it has caused a problem in our being able to drive our car to the house. There is a curve in the current right of way which makes maneuvering the car pretty much out of the question. Since we moved into the house, we've had to park our car a short distance away from the house.

Recently, my wife's father was able to talk to another nearby land owner who will allow us to move back the fence along his property which will widen the right of way just enough to allow us to negotiate the turn.

Of course, we have to pay for the materials to rebuild the wall and fence, as well as the cost of the labor involved, but this is well worth it.

These photos show the beginning of the project. More photos will follow when the work in completed.
