All is Clear

We have been having an on-going altercation with a man who owns the property south of us for a few years now. He has been blocking the alley with a 5th wheel almost from the time we have bought the property. We asked nicely for him to park it somewhere else but that didn't work. He seemed to get a perverse pleasure from being able to keep it blocked. The city has it labeled as unused and that is partly why he could get away with it. When an alley is abandoned the property owners each get half the alley.  The school owned the property behind him and he was parked on their half. They didn't have any interest in changing the situation. Last fall the school put that property up for sale and Butch purchased it. So now that we own the property he was parked on our half and we followed through on getting the alley vacated. That happened today. The city man with our deed in hand informed him last Thursday that it had to be moved by Monday. We do not know for sure when it happened, but it was still blocked Saturday.  It has been a long time coming. What this means is that access to our RV sites in the backyard are much more accessible for us and any guests we might have. He has threatened to build a fence but was clued in that he would need a permit for that and if he decides to do that will be told it must be surveyed and he does not have the clearance needed to build it so that would shut the plan down. We have hopes this will all settle down but these kinds of people seldom want things to go smoothly so who knows but for now it is clear.
