    True. However, I find it best to go out of your way to be super nice and over accommodating to maintain your right away. Make them want you there. I know it sucks but once you get them over to your side it makes it better. You know the old saying, keep your enemies close. Smile to their face while cussing them under your breath. But sometimes people are just A-holes and are miserable. Only God can deal with those idiots. My neighbor is a rough dude. But, I go out of my way with kindness and now when he makes deer sausage (it’s the best I’ve ever eaten) he always gives me as much as I want.

    Yea surveying looks like a very interesting occupation. I never really understood the discipline, but seeing this video helped me understand it a lot more. I think in the early days you'd use a sextant and twine 😂 Nowadays you got advanced gizmos that our grandfathers only dreamed of. Just gotta make sure ten different batteries stay charged up. Who knows, though, in 20 more years maybe a special drone can map property lines to within a thousandth of a foot and it shines a laser dot on the ground where u gotta stake. 🤷🔭🗺️🧑‍🦯

    My dad was a huge fan of your channel. He was a huge fan of DYI, home improvements, building projects, the outdoors, and dogs. So your videos were pretty much perfect for him. It seems like every time I saw him he'd tell me about your latest episode. Eventually we started watching the episodes together. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer last December and it slowed him down pretty quickly, so he ended up spending less time doing physical things and more time watching videos, yours especially. My mom got him one of your shirts for last Christmas and it was a huge deal to him. He passed away back in May. In his final days, he and I ended up watching a lot of your videos. Even at the very end, they brought a smile to his face. Thank you for what you do. Your videos bring people a great deal of happiness. One of them was my dad. Another one is me. Thank you.

I came from the US and have to life here to the end of my life. I have not enough money to go back home but that's OK for me. Andrew shows me every time the beauty of mother nature.

    Well expressed. I have a similar experience within my own family and my mother referred to Andrew in the highest as "he's an Artist" - his spirit, willingness to be creative and try new things & to do that freely...and creatively. It was the highest of compliments and she knew more than a little about these things... When he organized rocks around his castle or put in his spiral stairs or the epic jet ski trip to the statue of liberty & the artistic camera work - so impressed with him. We would all sit and watch his videos together. Truly fond memories. I wish, I hope, he gets back to that sort of thing soon. Anyway, that's what I'll always think of watching his channel. Grateful.

We read "traverse closures" to within 20 seconds of arc, visually, on a VERNIER plate, with a reading glass. Each set of "stations" had to close in a ring to 360 degrees, using the "2N-4 Right angles"formula.

    Andrew, when you put metal stakes in rock drill the hole a little large and put some all weather permabond type product rated to bond metal to rock in before the final staking. A friend of mine had his rocky property surveyed like yours with him helping putting in a stakes. Someonought the 20 acresnext to his and moved his stakes 5 feet his side to try and log several high value extremely old trees. He just happened to be leaving for work one day as a logger was about to cut down the first one and he caught them. Called the local sherrif who came out immediately and stopped them as it happens occasionally and up in northern Michigan they take that extremely seriously. The guy who did it tried to say he didn't do it but the numbnuts left fingerprints all iver the area where it happened. He ended with a hefty fine, cash settlement with my friend for damages (his time and stress, 60 day's in jail and had to pay for the second survey. The second set of stakes he used permabond to set them. You'd need an excavator to get thhem out now and his trees are still where they belong. He has no intention of ever harvesting them. He has 120 acres and only logged 20 no more. Did the logging himself and took the logs to a mill and ended with enough lumber to build himself a 4 bedroom house and work/storage barn. He's never talked to that jackwagon thief since.

    I put a 4' tall piece of PVC pipe over all my corner stakes 25 years ago, they are still there and they stand out in the woods a lot better than the rods painted orange or with the ribbons on them. I also went down all my property lines clearing about 5' to 10' on my side the line so I could walk the property lines easily. I recently had my property surveyed because the land on one side of mine was sold and the people wanted to put of no trespassing signs around 25' onto my property when you can see the property corner marked within 100' of the signs and the area I keep cleared on my side of the property line is clearly visible and straight as an arrow. I had the surveyors mark the property line with a wood stake every 20'. After they left I used 6' tall metal T-post to replace the wood stakes and put a piece of white PVC pipe over them. There's no mistaking that property line now. LOL! I only went that extreme on that one line because of the problems the new property owner was causing. I took video on my phone of the surveyors and of me replacing the wood stakes with the metal T-post so there couldn't be any disagreement that I didn't have surveyors or that I didn't put the fence post in the exact spot the stakes were in. I would have bought the property but the former owner didn't even say anything about selling it and they didn't advertise it they just sold it to the new people. I only found out it had been sold when the new property owner started causing problems. So I wasn't even given an opportunity to buy it. Land is a good money investment too because land will always increase in value.

    I agree 100% with buying as much buffering land as you can find/afford. I too can make a lot of noise in the shop. But, even tho my entire area consists of homes on 3+ acres, I always try to consider my neighbors when doing so……no grinding or anvil work, etc. at 0300 hrs. is a no-brainer. 😐 As to your property lines and easements. Here in Texas we have a “purple paint” law which states: "”Notice" means: an oral or written communication by the owner or someone with apparent authority to act for the owner; or fencing or other enclosure obviously designed to exclude intruders or to contain livestock; or a sign or signs posted on the property reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders, indicating that entry is forbidden; or the placement of identifying purple paint marks on trees or posts on the property. If purple paint is used, then the purple paint must be vertical lines of not less than eight inches in length and not less than one inch in width; placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet from the ground; and placed at locations that are readily visible to any person approaching the property and no more than: 100 feet apart on forest land or 1,000 feet apart on land other than forest land.” If my research is correct, New York does not yet have such a Statute in place. But, in a forest setting, that color is easily recognizable (by anyone that isn’t colorblind) and is commonly known as an enforceable law in 15? other States. Even tho it’s not yet recognized as such by New York, I would counsel you to mark your property lines this way anyway. Having all those pins and blazes new and fresh during the Fall season will make 100 foot runs between markings much easier to get done….and if the woods get too thick to see 100 feet, just try to make each new marking visible from the last one. And since it helps the Game Wardens in determining boundaries if they are answering a complaint, I would suggest you ask the Fish & Game folks to support it becoming the law for y’all. Glad to see you and the pups are doing well. Much respect from Texas. 🫡

    @dryroasted5599 There appear to be 8 parcels of land touching his original land. Depending upon how up-to-date the satellite images are, there only appears to be a couple houses close. The closest one about 250' ESE of his pond, which would put it a little under 600' from his house (on the downhill side).

    I knew of some horror stories where a legal survey was not done and buyers in several cases ended up erecting buildings partly on neighbors land. In one case they built entirely on the wrong lot and lot owner refused to sell that lot. Even though surveys can be expensive , not having one can cost much more! Wise move Andrew to have your new land staked properly to avoid future disputes.👍👍👍

    My 90 yr old mom has a house on one acre. Two neighbors within a few weeks installed fences around their property. If you pull in my moms driveway, to the right, there are three houses built that go down the right of her acre property. Two of them built fences. I called for a survey because years ago it was surveyed and they used those green metal stakes you fine in a cowfield holding up fencing. Those stakes were removed. The surveyor said both fences were 20 inches on my moms property. One guy offered $200 to leave it there, LOL. Both had to remove their fencing and correct it. This was a great fun video to watch. We had a small farm in Somerset, Ohio when I was a kid and all that wooded area always brings back fun memories. A fat vine that you could swing from one embankment to the other. A crick that ran all year long I'd love to have about 50 acres where Andrew is at. I'd never pay for heating again with all that wood. I'd have privacy to use the internet and a whole house power system in case the electric went out. I'm not jealous the least bit but I am envious. Andrew has come a long way since he started making his videos and almost 1.3 million fans just can't get enough. I talk a lot. Oh, I was really surprised that Cody didn't get over that.. starting a chainsaw noise. He jumped up and wanted to bite that thing. I thought he would have grown out of that by now . Both dogs are healthy and good looking. Thanks for the video. 2:15 am in Ohio. 56F. Fall is coming early.

God bless you Andrew for savin this property form developers, they are nothing but greedy devils. How do you mean to peotect this propery from others wanting to just squat or throw shit all over, like what you had to clean up.. I agree that the stone walls are a great property marker. So glad you had the state servey guys mark everything out, and as you said, when you running heavy equptment late at night, you don't need neighbors complaining, the more space between you and them , the better you will all be!~ Congrats, Andrew, Good to see you dad again.

    You're doing right to get your boundaries marked, and you are familiar with where they are. My neighbor thought my fence was the property line but I had intentionally put my fence 10 foot off the line so I could mow with my tractor and be on my land. My land markers are 80 years old or more, from the farmer that owned it.

Unfortunately this is everything else but easy to achieve in a relatively small country like Germany (unless one is very rich of course). Almost everything is cramped together way to much. 2) I absolutely love 💚 your dogs. Especially Blue 💙. I wonder if he is completely grown up meanwhile or if he will become a bit bigger. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).
