My backyard shed and the property line honesty check

Last month, I built a wooden shed in my backyard and checked the property lines with an old survey. I found the back corner was on my neighbor's side by six inches. I thought about leaving it since moving it meant more digging and another concrete pour. But I knew it could cause problems later, so I talked to my neighbor. He appreciated my honesty and helped me adjust the layout. Now the shed is correctly placed, and we get along better. This honesty turned a potential issue into a positive outcome.

Why did I think I could do it myself?
