Got a call today from Dave E., requesting help in finding a couple of boundary markers for his yard. He just bought this new house in January and now he has plans to add some shrubbery and a privacy screen for his hot tub and really needs to know the exact boundaries of his property. I called my ringfinder fellow hunter, Gregg Larabel, and he and I drove out to Dave’s house today. One side of Dave’s property was marked on the road pavement with the estimated boundary. We measured in 33 feet from the center of the road and found the first marker with really no trouble. The next step was to find the marker in the very back of his corner lot. In the picture with Dave you can see the neighbors play area/slide for their kids and Dave’s boundary marker is just to the left of that play area. We had a little trouble finding that marker, finding a sprinkler head first and then the play area had a steel edging around it. Finally found the steel rod but the yellow cap was missing on this rod. The third corner steel boundary marker was sticking out of the ground already, so now he knows the exact area of his corner lot. After some good stories back and forth we parted our ways with another good job done.
Dave and Gregg saved me a bunch of money by finding these markers, responded to my call quickly, and we had a lot of fun in the short time they were here – they’re neat guys!
