Surveying the Land, November 2006

After our offer was accepted we came back in November to perform our due diligence which included surveying the land. We found that the tenant Christmas tree farmer had planted trees on land he assumed belonged to his landlord, our neighbor to the north. In this picture I am positioned along our lot line so all the trees in front of me are on our land. These trees will mature in about eight years, at which point we will reclaim the land. We haven't as yet introduced ourselves to either the tenant or the owner. I hope this meeting will go well and stay as friendly as possible. I even hope they throw in a Christmas tree, or two, per year.

If you look real close you can see two markers with pink ribbons down the center of this picture. The land on the left side belongs to us.
