Hi Leland, I went through a very similar situation a few years ago. Absentee owners of the neighbouring property had not spent a nickle on maintaining fence in 50 years. We needed to put up new electric to power our lower pastures, and this was a mess of old page wire, raspberries and rose bushes. I did the same thing you want to do. Dozed it and put a new fence ON the line. In Nova Scotia, the fence is the line, if it has been an established boundary for 20 years. In my case, the fence had been off a bit. I guess it was since it was put there 150 years ago. To make a long story short, the neighbours were ready to sell, did a survey, and the pins were set on the fence line. We actually gained a few feet, but, as I said, it was a long established line. Your area may be different, so it wouldn't hurt to check. Beyond that, it would not hurt to talk to the guy. If he doesn't want to help with the expenses, then he should keep his mouth shut when your dozer clears a few feet of weeds off his side of the line. BTW, I'm no lawyer, but the advice is worth every cent..... Good luck. Rod
