Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help possible legal trouble, need advice

Thanks for the updates CoachB. Sounds like a positive report.

How much is she asking,and how much land is there?

Hey Coach, this bit of sage advice may be a bit late but here goes. Like everyone else has said, take pictures, document the progress of her berm as it relates to your orperty, but here's the advice: Everytime you communicate with her, either 'over the fence', phone, up close and pesonal, what ever - always, always -- document your conversation on paper or via email to her. Ex: "Thanks for visiting with me yesterday when we discussed xyz." Then close with YOUR understanding as to the conclusion of that dialog. If she doesn't reply back disputing your conclusion, it could then be implied that she agreed with it. Just sayin --- better to have it in writing or email, for the reasons stated above.

Great advice jimmydee. Also remember to never put anything in writing that you don't want to hear in court.

When using the phone, never assume that a recorder isn't attached to the other side. Hook one up for yourself and always try to manage the conversation. In Texas, it is not illegal to record a conversation if one party to the conversation knows and approves.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. It is self defense.

In PA, it is illegal to record a phone con. w/out the consent or knowledge of the other party (I'm pretty sure).

Oh.

For the record, Sunil, every time we talk on the phone, can you just assume I'm recording?

You just made the list.

Not 'til now?

In Mo., as long as one person knows it's being recorded, you're good to go. But, if the other party asks, you're obligated to divulge. That's usually followed by, "Kiss my back side." Click.

"If anyone wants to move to Ann Arbor and live by agreeable neighbors with a great pond, let me know!"


Only if you don't mind a former Buckeye football player

I think that is why there is the intermittant beep when you're being recorded----the standard warning.

Jeez, didn't you people learn anything from the Nixon fiasco?

This might add an entirely new meaning to the "Watergate Tapes."

I'll much rather have a Buckeye than a crazy nut!!

Tom, she is asking a mill for 9 acres with woods and a small pond. it is a big house, perfect for Pond Boss parties!

It better be a BIG house...get it...the big house...in Ann Arbor...



nevermind.


Seriously, though, that's a chunk of change for 9 acres. It better be a big house.

It is big. All brick. with a garage that is bigger than my whole house.

wow, that's alot of money, it better be bigger than a big house for that price and have the status of being a mansion. Having it haunted with Casper would also help in that high monetary stratosphere.

CoachB, How much without the pond. jk

If TomG moves in, I am sure that he can take care of that burm real quick. Maybe even make the pond larger in the process.

Well, our local township supervisor, after telling me he would get involved and help us settle this, has backed out. He said there is nothing that she can do, according to the township zoning (we have done nothing wrong). He also said that we should pursue legal avenues to get her to lower her dam. It looks like we might have to go the way of the lawyer. Her house is still for sale, but no one is looking at it (so says my friend the real estate agent).

Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear the bad news.
