Crossroads

摘要

A few years ago, I decided to tear down an old shed in my backyard and erect a new one on a more practical spot. Since I live in the centre of an old town, my plot was compact, at around 170 square metres, and surrounded by land owned by others. I discovered some inconsistencies between the cadastral map and the actual situation, to my disadvantage. I was very keen to revert to the cadastral situation and called in a surveyor. In the end, my little shed was built in the most practical place, and while - unfortunately for him - my neighbour had to clear part of his backyard, it gave me much more space and added value to the plot. Nowadays, I live on the outskirts of town and have a much bigger yard and fewer concerns about a few square metres that may or may not be visibly attached to my plot.
