Thanks all!

I was a realtor for 4 years, so have quite a few friends and acquaintances who are in the business still. They all suggest we just get a survey and be done with it.

We've sent our legal description to a couple of surveyors to get estimates from them on how much it will cost to get it done. The determining factor will be how far our lot is from an established major marker since that's what they use for a starting point. We had a survey done on a different property in 1985 and that one cost us over $2,000! It was $65 an hr back then and most likely has gone up since then.

We need to get a survey and then put up a nice stout tall fence.

Hubby talked with a local county police officer about the situation and was told they'd not put much past our neighbor... especially if he's drinking or on drugs. So we're to call them if we have any problems and they'll come out as needed.

Janet, I hope you're right! If the survey is under $500 I'll order it right now!
