That is a very good point - our house is going on the market in the near future, perhaps a survey is in order right now. Get those flags in the ground and make sure he understands that he is not welcome on 'this' side of that line.

Hahaha, that's cool. I'd like to hear what you get in terms of ideas of cost. Just for information purposes, I've never had a survey done, so I'm curious if this is a "few hundred" or "few thousand" kind of proposition.
I had a survey done on my home in Mustang for this very reason. Nice two acre lot surrounded by 60 foot dogwood trees and shrubs. Well, one of my "neighbors" decided to clear away the "brush" and annex a corner of our property. They even parked a boat on it for a time. Kept it mowed like it was part of their back yard. I approached the owner and her daughter several times about it, and they always caused a scene, shouting and yelling. So nothing was going to be resolved peacefully. It amazed me there was even a dispute. All of the lots were about the same size and shaped like a rectangle. Her encroachment cut a 20'x60' swath out of the corner of my rectangle. I should also mention the owners daughter was a city of Mustang employee. Head of Animal control and then the city inspector.
I just wanted to be sure I was in the right and that it was on paper and legal when I took my next step. It cost me $600 bucks to have the survey done and the spikes driven.
After contacting an attorney he said my cheapest and probably best solution was to erect a permanent fence along the property line. You see, the hedge row had served as that barrier until now. So, one day I waited for them to go to work and broke out the auger post hole drill. I had spent the evening prior prefabricating a 6 foot tall drill pipe fence to fit along the property line and kept it on the side of our house facing away from their back porch. In a few hours the abomination was erected and the concrete hardening. Still there to this day as far as I know.
Yeah, that's right, let's blame it on the Californians. Because everyone in OK is nice and polite.
