The problem is my lot is very long. 350+ ft long roughly. And a fence then means I have to go on his property to maintain his side or trust that he will do it and not damage the fence.

I don’t know what prompted his sudden obsession with the property line. I did notice his neighbor to the other side has a stake marking their boundary between the properties. So he either started something with them too or they had it marked for some reason and he feels the need to get on my case.

Hopefully my letter stating “If me driving around the pile is a problem it will need to be moved so I can use the space it currently occupies for access.” will be enough.

I drive around it to get my mower to that portion of my yard. I could go another way but that is the easiest. And if the wood wasn’t there I wouldn’t need to leave my property to get to the back.

His gaslighting of “Does it [the wood pile] really bother you? It is hard to imagine that.” From his second note really got me. He started this mess. Now he’s acting like my marking the property line is uncalled for.

You don't have to answer his question regarding the woodpile. Simply reiterate that it's on your property, and he needs to move it. Period. It has nothing to do with anything other than, he's encroached onto your property, and is not entitled to do so.

If you're considering a fence, maintenance depends on what type fence you get. If you get a barricade type fence, set it back on your property the width of your mower, so you can do 1 straight swath down the fenceline on the outside of the fence. This allows you to go straight in, and back straight out. It also affords you the ability to weed whack the outside. If you get wire/chainlink type fencing, only maintain your side of it. If he doesn't maintain anything along the fenceline, and it gets out of hand, get some weedkiller, and spray a thin swath along the fenceline. With it being wire, it will go to his side too, and that will take care of the problem.

A friend who deals with people way more than I do looked over the letter and we revised it. I don't want a fence. I want to be left alone. 🤣

I've lived here 3 years and he has never made an attempt to even be friendly. I'm fine with that. But don't come after me when your in the wrong and when I don't answer you immediately.

The tone of his letters were very "I'm a man and I know what I'm talking about. You should be a good girl and listen."

I put the stakes in the yard Friday. His second letter showed up Saturday morning. I feel like he very much believed I would just take his word for everything and back down.

If he would have talked to me more than once he would have very much realized his mistake.

I bet something else is going wrong he can't change and he is trying to find something he can control. Could be a health issue or work or relative.
