squatters rights

[WDH]

I always thought that squatters law was a southern thing. Like grits. 

Down here, we are all just a grits eatin' bunch of squatters.

I'd say about half the population down here in Dixie is squatters and the rest of us are standers...

The minds are going in the gutter.

Burning pastured fields around here kills the good feed and encourages weeds. It also runs out the ground over time. Can't tell some people that, they just like to start fires every spring. And many have caused fires in tree plantations. Somebody burnt one up near home here that was 12 years old. Fire in young spruce trees will do them in.

Some years back we had a survey done on some property that we had just acquired. There was a 20 acre parcel in the middle of it that we did not own, with a cabin on it . The survey showed that the cabin was on the 20ac. but just barely - within 1foot of the boundary. However, the outhouse (half moon hotel) was on our property. When I went to talk to the cabin owner he had a good sense of humor. " I always thought the cabin was on the other side of my property. I see you got my outhouse, but since its an outhouse I figured I had squatters rights."

We were both happy to resolve the whole thing by trading equal strips on both sides of his 20 acres so that his cabin & out house were well inside his property & we both ended up with the acreage we started with.
