Re: Woven/Horse fence unroller.
Good question Bill.
Usually it's not an issue. And generally I'm the one advocating the fence being on the customer's property unless it's a shared cost fence between neighbors.
I've been in between a couple of neighbor tiffs. What's sad is you sometimes find yourself working for the jerk.
Digging up an inch or two of a neighbor's dirt is rarely an issue. Especially if you do like I try to do and do absolutely the minimum damage to the neighbor's property.
But if there is a dispute and the neighbor is a horse's patooty we work around it.
One of them is offset posts. I take my posts and do a double forty five of so many inches. That way the post is just as secure in concrete and we can put the fence within an inch or less of the property line. It also works great in situations like putting a fence on top of a curb etc.
Another technique I've used is to angle the auger so that I actually drill under their property the necessary couple of inches but they can't see it. The post appears to sitting at the edge of the hole and poorly concreted in. When in fact it's got a good footing down where it counts.
On this particular job I had an interesting challenge with the fence line.
Six hundred feet with three power poles on or about the property line. Actually two were on one side and one was on the other. I insisted on the fence line being straight, character flaw, his fence, my reputation, guess who won. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anyway after shooting my spotter poles I came up with the fence being in a foot at the front and just an inch at the back. Putting all three poles on the inside would have meant putting part of the fence on the neighbor's property, I won't do that without written permission by both parties. Putting the poles outside the fence would have meant giving away almost two feet for six hundred feet. Customer wasn't about to do that. Building the fence between the poles would have left us with a real problem down the road if the power company ever wanted to move or replace said poles.
Contrary to what appears to be obvious, sometimes the hardest part of the job isn't building a fence. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
