It is a fact that people who work indoors,etc. and make the same or more than us tree guys are naturally jealous of us because they know we work harder and actually earn our keep! I have the same problems with a couple of folks that are originally from New York! I once had a stack of 12-14 ft red oak logs in the back yard. Mind you, i live in the county in a subdivision and have no restrictions on firewood! I decided to cut,split and stack the wood across my back prop. line. They never complained about the big heap of logs, ever! But when the day came and we worked the stuf up, and stacked it neatly, even pulled a string on it, they raised so much hell i had the zoning officer come out and inspect. He had a quick look, and said that just like myself he oughtta be able to cut a tree and use the wood to heat his home or sell the wood, and said he wasn't aware of it being illegal to do such! He then turned to them and asked why a storage bldg of there's was so close to my line(12")! He made em move it , for it was supposed to be 7ft from the line! They were dumbfounded, and i'm sure felt pretty ridiculous, at least i hope! Just ignore them, and don't stoop to there level. But when they get in your safe zone, that's trespassing, harassment,etc. I need not go further! Good luck with those losers. Keep earnin it honest man!After cutting down a 35-40' tall weed tree on monday with my new MS-361, All was cut up and put away in the back by the corner of the property by the chain link fence that seperates the town property from my property.
The base of the tree was aprox 14" diameter.
The tree is on the opposite side of my backyard from his, I put all the branches and cut up logs into the back of my property across my backyard where the tree was from.
There is also a rock wall that seperates the neighbors property from mine, followed by the hedges that's mine which seperates the backyard from his.
My uncle (red shirt in the pic) who was helping with the tree cutting, sees my neighbor looking out of his kitchen door at us as we're cutting the tree down and looked like they were being nosy.
In the pictures, the neighbors backyard is in the direction of where my back faced when I took the pictures.
Last night I get home from work (2 days later), open my garage door and come out of there with a vaccum to clean my car interior.
He parks his black Acura TL, gets out and confronts me and starts telling me stuff like he saw me cutting the tree down and putting the cut up logs and branches near his property line and that he has informed the town and the building inspector.
I told him what does being near your property have anything to do with yours, it's still on my property. And if you have a problem with that, call the police.
He then says "I'm telling you as a neighbor" I said "whatever" and he walked away.
Last October, he told me where to park my pickup truck on the street!
And points out to his property line because I parked my pickup truck in his "spot" which is acutally more on my front lawn side. There is no assigined parking here, just open to all, it's a big Cul-de-sac type.
And he points out his property line divding my lawn from his...I'm like property lines does not dicate where you park.
I told my father's friend who lives down the street what he said to me, he nodded his head big time and told me the town owns between 4 and 6 feet of the front lawn from the street curb for garbage pickup and underground power lines/pipes. He told me to call him when my neighbor confronts me again...but unfortuntly he's at work at the time.
Looks like the next time he confronts me will be harassment...
