We wound up paying the surveyors another $400 to come back and mark ONE side of our property so we could find the property line. On the other side, 6 other places back up to our fence line, places of about 2 acres, so each property line junction was marked. But on the other side, it was an 8 acre piece just like ours, so only the corners were marked. Our DSIL tried to use GPS to find the property line, but he kept losing connection and had to give up. It is a thicket, goes down in a gulley, briars, brush, trees, did I mention thicket? The survey laws, rules or whatever pisspore excuse they use, say they only have to mark property lines at the corners, unless other property lines join in between the corners. And they only put up little wooden stakes, so I fought my way through the thicket with T-posts and a driver and set a more permanent stake. It is 1,086 feet, not fenced, but it is clear now and we can get the fence up this winter. It will be so nice to have the place totally fenced.
@Latestarter running a string or wire from corner to corner just wouldn't work. We've been to visit Devonviolet and her DH, and it wouldn't work for them either. East Texas woods are thick, in some places you can stick your arm out and not see your hand. Of course, once we turned horses out, that thicket got a lot thinner on the 2 acres we fenced to start with for the horses. But we had to hack through the thicket to get the fence up.
