I bought a 40 acre field next to me a few years ago, the wet spot was always terribly wet in one spot, few years later I finally found out - the neighbor had a 6 inch tile draining out his property - not very well, but draining it out - and dumping it onto my property.
Well, the current neighbor bought the property with this already on it too, so neither he nor I were the 'problem', but it cost us $22,000 of tile work last summer to fix the problem & get the water draining properly to the ditch. Worked it out nicely, we both will benefit I think, but cost a pretty penny.
We have lots of drainage problems around here, people dump water on the person downhill from them, add on more tile to tile mains that are too small and flood out the person downstream, etc. Lot of folk think they are only doing a little thing no big deal, but they can easily mess up 10 acres of their neighbor's property just like that and not even know it.....
So, I guess it would bother me that you change the water flow somehow - as that is always a problem 'here'. But I guess I don't really understand what it is you did so I shouldn't judge.
I'm not sure how making the fence wire panels will help the waterflow, water flows through most fence I am aware of. I'm just not understanding that part at all.
So nevermind my opinions on this, I clearly don't understand the problem. :) Are you saying you 2 are like Fargo SD and Moorehead MN, both towns kept building a higher levee to protect their town, would then flood out the other, so their levee would go up, back & forth.... Boh of you are building up your properties to push the water oto the other property?

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
