Get it in writing. I had an oak that the property line went right through. That neighbor does not live at the house, it's been empty for more than 20 yr's. A caught up with him one day as he stops by the place a few times a year to store stuff. I told him that I would like to take it down as it's dropping dead branches on the driveway. We talked, looked at the tree, and came to the understanding that I would take it down landing it in his yard. Which I did, blocked it up, cleaned up the mess, Split and stacked it in the back near the property line. Several months past until he showed up again. He was upset because he thought we understood he wanted the trunk for saw logs. (there was no mention of that in our conversation. Then last winter I moved the stack to get it of the ground. This spring he wanted to know where his split wood was. I told him and offered that he could have it all. He neither accepted our denied the offer, just said he was disappointed. Now The tree was 75% on my property, I cut it down, I cleaned it up, I split it all, I stacked it for seasoning. He thinks It should be his apparently. I may be mistaken, but I don't think so. I think my solution is going to be to cut another oak down at my new scrounge site, the same size. Then muscle 8 ft logs onto the trailer and dump them in his yard. I WISH I HAD WRITTEN SOMETHING UP AND HAD HIM SIGN IT.
