I'd talk to an attorney about the structure on your property. The clock is ticking and you could wind up with losing a part of your land to this gal and get nothing for it. When you want to sell your property there could be a problem with the title and I doubt a bank would loan on it with that problem and I'm wondering what a title insurance company would say. It is worth an hour of attorney time with someone that is versed in this area of the law.
What idiot burns poison ivy? Sorry, @ angie_nrs, but that is just wrong on anybody's part and they should be fined a hefty sum.
I read high fences make good neighbors. Just consider, you wouldn't have to have too nice of a fence appearance-wise, considering what you're blocking, and eventually all your greenery and forest will block it anyway, maybe.
I'm sorry, @angie_nrs ! Never a good idea to name call friends' fathers.Well, that idiot would be my dad. LOL! He didn't do it intentionally. We cut our own wood off our property for the fireplace and wood stove and he would have a burn pile once or twice a year to get rid of branches and leaves and such. Sometimes there would be PI in there or the burn pile was on top of PI. He also didn't know someone could get the rash from walking though the smoke. We didn't figure that out until I got it! I was lucky I didn't get it in my lungs.
When I had a problem with neighbors I invited them over for a lunch. Somehow we got on the topic of fences and I explained that I was going to put a fence up to limit the travel of my new dogs. When they found out that I as getting a couple of big bear dogs that would need to be retrained by an electric fence they were glad to hear I was putting the fence in first. More than that they became good friends and we had gettogethers about every six months. When I moved I took the fence charger with me. I hope the new residents got along well with the neighbors.
I appreciate the suggestion Caribou. That structure has been on the property loooong before we became the owners. So it's possible that she could stake claim to that property. But, if they didn't get a permit, I'm not sure how that would work and either way she knows she would have an expensive fight on her hands if it got ugly and neither one of us want that. It's back on the far corner of our line so we don't want to be jerks about it. We did meet with a lawyer just to cover or arses and he said the easiest thing to do would be to just settle it with her. The only one's that would win would be the lawyers. It's just not worth that kind of stress and we both know there is an issue there that needs to be solved for whoever ends up with the property on her end and on ours when we're all dead and gone. That's why we approached her and she is agreeable to purchasing a few more feet in order to keep the garage. We just don't know what kind of price to put on it since it's only about 20 feet or so along about 100 or so foot of the property. It would save her headaches down the line if she decided to sell. We're not worried about that part on our end as much since we are never going to sell our land. This will be my home forever since we have put so much work into it. The surveyor even said the easiest way to handle it is to just get an agreement with the neighbor and he would submit the new lines to the county.

People will do all kinds of petty things to irritate others, because they think it is fun to do just that, irritate others.These folks intentionally moved our survey stakes twice (for no apparent reason) and then moved an old junk car over the line after the survey was done. We have been over there twice now to talk to them. They're not people who want to get along, which is fine with me but not what I would prefer. We bought that extra property so that there would be distance between us and others (not knowing who lived there) it was worth every penny we paid for it. I'm sure the fence will be too, even though I'm not sure how much that's going to cost yet.
We set up our targets a bit early this year and did some shooting this past weekend, since we have plenty of property in which to do that. I thought it was interesting that we didn't see their dog. Little do they know I would not take my frustrations out on their dog.....but they don't need to know that.

I wonder about documenting this, their junk vehicle being placed on your property? I would actually document everything that happens by writing it down and taking photos (print them out! technology dies! photos get lost on devices!) I was also wondering about the legal aspect of pushing their vehicle back to their side of the line.
What ever you might ponder doing, remember that you are going to be living close to these people for a long time.
Retribution is a two way street. If you can't find a way toward mutual trust then plan for a long and escalating battle.
