- 1. Betterments are improvements to the leased property, for example the building of stonewalls or repairs to a house or barn.
- 2. Similar to betterments, improvements were investments in the leased property that increased the property’s value.
- 3. Rails are a component of split rail fence systems. Chestnut was often the wood of choice due to its resistance to rot, straight grain and ease to work with. https://www.vintagelog.com/fencing.htm
