New neighbors... do I have a right to be angry? HELP!

I don't know, but just reading your post makes me angry for you. This would give me a heart attack with stress. I am only 24. Were you using the shed? was it yours?

I don't see them as rude. Surveyor said the pin was wrong. They told her they were going to get a saw mill. Perfectly in their right.

If you read the initial post, the OP stated that they rudely stated their rights to her. They could have just done it and explained in a nice manner what they were doing.

I re-read it to make sure and she did not state that they rudely stated their rights to her.
 
Surveyors can be wrong. I worked for new home builders, there were multiple instances over a few years where they mis-measured setbacks, improperly placed property pins, etc. I'd get a second opinion.

Also, check your zoning, as others have said. They may not have the right to come right to the edge of 'your' property. You may have other rights you could exercise. Good luck!

I have heard it from time to time.
a fried out here had a property rented to an amish family, and the lease included specifically that they were not allowed to log the land. nonetheless, they logged out and sold the most valuable trees. when confronted by the property owner, he was told that "god wanted them to have those trees". once evicted, he continuted to try to log on the land and had to be phyiscally removed.

I'm guessing jerks come in all religions...

even if most folks are civil.

I know they are a religion, but I always seem to refer to them in my mind as a lifestyle.
 
I concur with the opinion that you need to get an independent survey done. If the new owner's survey was wrong, you may have some recourse. If the new owner's survey is correct, the person who you need to be angry with is the person who misrepresented your lot when they sold it to you.

If there is no other choice than to have a sawmill as a neighbor, I suggest you make friends and see if you can wrangle some free shavings out of them, for keeping you in fresh bedding for your chickens for life. Making lemonade out of lemons if it's possible, you know?

I didnt think that Amish folks could use "modern" things?
Like they plow with a horse...cut down trees with handsaws...etc...No??
Didnt think they used machinery like that...

around here it varies.
we've got horse-and-buggy, no-electricity amish. and we've got big-diesel-dually for driving the livestock to auction amish.
'bout spun my head 360 when I saw a little amish gal, no older than 18 and barely able to see through the steering wheel over the dash of a MAJOR dually leaving the auction a couple of months ago.

mennonite are more likely to be power users, however my understanding is that it's not a no-modern-tools thing really, it's that each modern convienence is evaluated by the group to determine if it advances or detracts from their relationships with each other and with god. if it detracts, it's not used. if it doesn't detract, then it may be used in narrow specific ways, particularly in doing business with the outside world.
