powerrabbit Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Taking some garden rubbish out to the field with a rough patch at the bottom of it where I burn rubbish I discovered that my neighbour had started cutting off my boundary hedge, had planted on the top a large number of 'whips' and dropped three very large mature Sycamore trees. I rang the neighbour to find out what she was doing and told her that she should have asked my permission to carry this work out. She's doing this under a grant scheme from Defra and thought the hedge was her boundary and by all accounts, so did DEFRA. Not so. A word of warning for all landowners who may experience this. Look at your large scale Ordinance Survey land maps and your RPA, ESA MAPS and you should see 'T' bars on your boundary hedges. Whichever side of the boundary these 'T's are on, denotes who owns the boundary, if they are on your land side it is yours, if on the other side, it's not. If your neighbour intends to do boundary work, they should gain the permission from the owner and be furnished with written document of permission if you agree to the work with instructions of what you do not wish them to do, such as fell trees, and if both sides of the hedge is affected in digging out the foot and loading they are obliged to erect a stockproof fence to protect it on your side as well. It seems that DEFRA are unaware of the boundary marks on land maps and don't even consider who the boundary belongs to or even bother to contact the landowners to find out which is a big flaw in their system which is what causes the aggravation on these matters between adjacent landowners. So if you do experience this, make sure you stop them doing any work until they have your permission/agreement and ring DEFRA and tell them as well to make it official.

SPN Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have a yearling bull calf who is no longer afraid of electric fences - runs straight through them without breaking stride. Wired up his pen with two strands of barbed wire to put manners on him. Did it work? Not a chance. Today I upgraded his pen with some spare gates and re-set all the fence posts. I dread to think what damage he'll have done by morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Put a leather 'bridle' halter on him with metal spikes protruding outward around the noseband, like the ones you get to stop a yearling from sucking the cow, the spikes conduct the electric shock better, worked on a persistant cow I had with this problem. Once had a cow, fat as a barrel, that would stand all day and graze with the fencer wire over the middle of her back and you could hear the wire 'snicking' against her skin. She came in the parlour as normal one milking, ate her cake, gave her normal amount of milk, opened the door to let her out of the parlour, she got ouside and dropped down dead, had to drag her out of the way with tractor and chain. Vet examined her and said that all her blood vessels had literally 'exploded' just as if she had been struck by lightning but it was a hot sunny summers day. I mentioned her grazing method and he said that although it would be difficult to link it could have had a bearing on her death, almost as if she stored up so much electricity in her body that it eventually may have killed her. Her death certificate recorded struck by lightning for the insurance purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 A Starling that has just entered the house via the coal fire chimney and dragged with it rather a large amount of soot all over the front room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Done the sweep out of a job this year then! That's very true Tim, couldn't quite believe the amount of soot it managed to pull down behind itself. I think Mum is now regretting having a cream coloured sofa in the front room.

AlexMF Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 housemate broke the washing machine in december. my exact words were, "take some responsibility, you broke it, you get it fixed". he got the number of a man to fix it in january, and since has done nothing about it. i had a rant at him the other day when his mum brought all his washing to the house "oh is your mum going to do my washing, or are you going to get the clucking washing machine fixed?" this morning after not saying anything to me in all the time he saw me this weekend/yesterday he's written a note on a piece of kitchen roll with the guys number on saying effectively "you sort it" i despair. there are ways of asking things....
