Warning: my DIY fence install turned into a neighbor war

I dug posts for a 6-foot privacy fence in my backyard in Austin last Saturday, but my neighbor came out screaming about property lines and I found out I was 2 feet over his side. Had to rip out 4 concrete-filled holes and start over 6 feet back. Anyone else deal with a boundary dispute gone wrong?

lol I feel your pain man, I once dug a fence post so far into the wrong spot my neighbor brought out a survey map and a tape measure like it was a cop pulling me over. My wife still brings up the "Great Fence Fiasco of 2019" at every barbecue. At least you caught it before the concrete fully set, I had to rent a jackhammer to fix my mess.

Wait, you actually think surveys matter now?
