2 parcels. Owner is selling off.
Owner is also a fence builder by trade and his company built the fences around this 25 acres.
Fences are nice and well constructed (6 strand wire and metal posts)
But, nowhere are they on or near the property line, some places by as much as 10 feet onto the adjoiners.
We found the originals pins that were set 20 years ago and they worked well.
Heading out to show Mr. fence builder his errors and to give him an extra cost for line markers so he can move it to the right place this time.
Should be an interesting meeting.

I presume you are prepared to be called names and told where and why you are wrong.

That's refreshing. Ordinarily, I'd expect that the plot line would have been that the fence builder destroyed all of the markers when he set the corner posts and now you have to somehow figure out where the extinct markers actually were, the responsible surveyor having headed for other pastures and his or her records having been donated to the landfill.
yep. reminds me of the time i was doing contract work- QA/QC stuff on the 45 extension between 35 and 620. nobody could find the r.o.w. monuments. went out one day to figure out what was going on- the nice, newly painted 3" iron fence posts were all staking exactly to PIs, PCs, etc. started getting a little frustrated, walked back into the woods a bit to relieve myself, and found a literal pile of shiny new Type 2 monuments- still in concrete. i guess it was easier to yank those out of the ground than it was to dig new holes. can't imagine it was any fun to haul all those monuments back into the trees, though.
this was the same day i ran into a crew from one of the paving contractors nearby, was hoping they might have some hints to help me with our problem. but as i approached them i couldn't figure out what they were doing- 1 guy at the gun sighting something, the other 2 guys just standing there. "what's he shooting?" "backsight." "man, my eyes must be getting bad, i don't see anything over there." "he's backsighting that big mesquite stump." now, i don't know if these guys were responsible, but a couple months later we went out and verified that some flyover piers had been set and built about 2' off in easting, which resulted in a couple dozen guys on scissor lifts jackhammering them down not long after.
