I would also. In rural Indiana the closest you can build to the
property line on the sides is 15 feet, front 100 and back 25, so you
would think that encroaching on a property line would be extremely
difficult. My neighbor (same neighbor with the electric fence) put a
building 2 feet over my property line. Fortunately it is a skid mount
building. I've told him that he has to move it in the sping. If not my
trusty 10,000 lb forklift will move it for him. And you never know, the
forklift is pretty old, so if the building hits the ground fast from the
maximum lift height of 10 feet, there could possibly be some damage. (;->)
