I am not sure why so many people feel the need to depend on others (law,court) to make their problems go away. I was raised to do everything possible myself, before asking for help from others. I would use the court as a last resort in any case. Most people will make things right on their own, if you point out to them what they did wrong. I have always been the friendly neighbor, I would help them if I see they are out doing something, and most of the time, they do the same.
Just this past spring, my neighbor stopped in as I was planting some trees, he gave me a few tips on planting them, we talked, I discussed I was going to hook up electric soon, and I needed to wire the electrical boxes. He gave me a couple tips, and said he would stop back in the afternoon, well when he stopped, I was in the back still planting trees, he hooked the power up himself, (he was an electrician).
Most neighbors are what you make of them. Treat them good, they treat you good. My neighbor behind me last rifle season tracked a deer onto my land, he was nice enough to stop in and ask if it was ok if he continued on to my land to track his deer. I told him of course, and I went and helped him. He told me if I ever needed to track on his land, it wouldnt be a problem. Being neighborly isnt that hard!
