Dilemma....

Tell them since they have not paid the road association dues that you can't give it to them. If they want it they can pay their dues like the others. Technically you own it since it is unwanted and you are doing it for free.

If they get any of it then they should get the small stuff too instead of just the firewood.

They wanted all of it. Thing is they have no water...and he has been known to do some real stupid sh*t....like shooting across the road into a piece of plywood for a back stop....with the round traveling over the river into a populated area....And part of my other issue with it is he wants it to burn his trash with...And finally what I am afraid of happening is they don't burn it...they move on and then we will be stuck looking at yet more unburned "slash" piles...

so the agreement is for you to take home and burn yourself? you use it for heat?

if so i say screw the people not paying. why take heat from you (the guy doing the work). it would be different if they were people in need, then i could see donating wood to them. but a couple of scamming free loaders i say F-bomb them..

No heat, other than the heat from me having a fire out in the yard...

No Comment. :-#

Why start now??

Truth of the matter is burning the stuff is sort of like therapy for me...I can very easily pull out the big stuff, keeping a bit of it for fuel for my fire to keep all the little crap burning. But with them not contributing to the roads and getting heat of my labor I sort of feel like I am enabling them in a way.

Mos of the stuff I am taking down is under a foot in diameter. There are some larger trees, but not many. By the time this stuff is dry enough to burn in a stove it goes up like paper. Even then it is pretty damn sappy. The few folks I know that burn this crap have had either a chimney fire or the cap on the pipe seal up with sap...
