Funny you mention sheds being off... when we bought our place, I assumed the fence was the boundary line. Turns out, after a casual survey (aka me with a tape measure and a YouTube tutorial), our fence was actually about two feet into our neighbor's yard. Thankfully, they're super chill and laughed it off, but yeah, lesson learned—always double-check before you start bragging about your "extra" yard space at BBQs.
Haha, classic DIY surveying! I've seen this happen way more often than you'd think. Honestly, fences are the worst indicators of property lines—people just eyeball it and call it good. Even professional surveys sometimes reveal surprises. If you're planning any big projects or landscaping, it's worth getting an official survey done. Costs a bit upfront, but saves you from awkward neighbor chats or, worse, legal headaches down the road... Trust me, been there, done that.
Yeah, DIY property lines can get messy fast. When we moved in, the previous owners swore the fence was accurate—turns out, we were shorted about 4 feet of yard space. Not a huge deal until we wanted to build a shed and realized we'd been mowing our neighbor's grass for two years... awkward. Definitely agree that an official survey is money well spent upfront. Better to know exactly what's yours than guess and regret it later.
