greetings, i am at odds with my neighbor over the exact placement of our shared property line. i have a copy of a survey that was done about 5 years ago that shows our lots and on my lot there is a telephone pole that i am using as a reference point. on the survey the scale is one inch = forty feet. given that, could one say a half inch equals 20 feet, a quarter inch equals 10 feet and an eighth of an inch equals 5 feet. using the pole as a reference, i measured about a heavy sixteenth from the pole to the lot line on the survey map. seems to me that my property extends at least 2 feet past the pole. before i spend about $700 for a surveyor is this a somewhat accurate way of measuring?. thanks, cj
