Now you all need to look up the 20+ names for the " ` " symbol. You know, the regular press for the tilde key, on a US keyboard anyway.

Only if you place it on top of another letter, which it does not do, that's a separate character.

quote:

Neighbor wants to sue me and block my easement access (Ohio) (self.legaladvice)

I have a landlocked property that requires I traverse onto my neighbor and use his bridge for ingress and egress.
This is declared in my deed as well as theirs. It’s very concise with no explicit verbiage about expenses except that I “share in the upkeep of the driveway”.

From what I understand, they are the “serviant tenament” and I am the “dominant tenament” and that I have a right to enforce access to the easement. The easement is appurtenant style declaration.

I have records of upkeep expenses I have contributed to and shared.

The bridge has suffered much damage in the last 5 years due to drainage negligence from water running onto the topside of the bridge from their own driveway. They choose not to divert the water before it gets to the bridge and let it destroy the bridge. I have engaged in many repairs (filling in sinkholes, removing debris, grading.. etc.) I take photos before and after each repair.
The runoff has so many easy opportunities for diversion before reaching the bridge.

They have admitted this run off is damaging. I have this admission recorded.

I am downhill from this and contribute no water run off onto the top of the bridge. I am downstream from it all.

I have much video evidence of this destruction. Every time it rains, I film. In the winter, the runoff can flow for days after a rain. The bridge is earth fill over a metal culvert (now crushed) with steel beams on the sides holding everything together. The topside is limestone/dirt.

The bridge now needs replaced. They are now demanding I pay $5000 (half of $10,000) to build a completely different style bridge with no culverts and a steel inner frame with a thick poured concrete deck.

I provided alternative suggestions in an attempt to mediate, but we could not agree. I offered $1500 towards the alternative design, which should be $3000-$4000 total. The alternative is basically the same bridge, but replacing the culvert with an ABS/plastic one. The bridge would require their drainage that runs on top of the bridge to be diverted, in order to be successful.
They have since informed me that they are going to sue, build the new bridge and erect a fence to block my access until I pay. They state that the new bridge will be impervious to the drainage run off on top of it. They have no plans to divert this destructive water flow.

Looking for advice in general. Can they block? Can they force me to pay for an “upgraded” style bridge?

If it helps, I can provide a lovely MS paint.

EDIT: lovely MS Paint w/easement verbiage: https://imgur.com/x2oWfoM The verbiage defining the easement area is in the deed, but did not include. It is not disputed.

Not to derail a little fruit chat, but in a similar vein the letter Y in French is igrec (ee-greck). A Greek I. It's similar in other languages as well.

I was 27 when I realised this and mildly ashamed. It took meeting my s/o this, since she is Greek

I'm no where near fluent in French, but I did think I retained a a good chunk from high school.

Specifically to continue this language/letter derail (hey, it's still on this page)....

Greek had an "o" sound, and they had a letter for it. Later on, that "o" vowel sound shifted, and spellings were getting messed up, so they invented a new letter. This new letter was also "o" but since it was new, it went at the end of their alpha beta sequence. The original letter was small, and the new letter was big, so they got "little o" and "big o", or, in greek, "o-micron" and "o-mega." That's why omega is the last letter of the greek alphabet: it's the newest letter.

that's got to be a photoshop right? like, you'd have to intentionally cut into the sink basin and run the outlet up into it and it's not the kind of thing that could just accidentally happen (which is what's usually the case).

or i guess it was actually done on purpose, in which case i'd fuckin' love to hear the explanation for why from the person that did that

so build a bridge actually on your property and tell them to kick rocks?

I must say, the neighbour seems pretty stupid to not fix that drainage properly. It must be a lot of work for them to repair their part of the driveway every year.
