How for would you go? This happened last week and I am still burned up and wanted opinions from those here. I’ve been away from AS for a bit over the summer, but our new spring chickens now have a coupe (check that, it’s a really a fancy play house for pets!)
So, I am a bit behind on some processing and still have a big oak down near the road from the Halloween snow last year. Top third is into 4’ lengths stacked, main trunk is sectioned and cut from the root and is 30 foot back off the main road. Mid-afternoon late last week I’m making a quick run to Tractor Supply for more shear bolts for my new PTO driven auger. Garages & shed open, all sorts of tools & equipment out. Our house is out of sight up 450’ driveway with posted signs of NO Trespassing, No Solicitation & Beware of Dog at 100’ in. My teenage daughter goes out thinking there is a UPS delivery and is confronted by a guy in a pickup full of wood asking to clear the wood out down by the road for me. She tells him no, that we burn ourselves and he starts to make her uneasy by pushing again & again insisting he can “help us out”. At this point the dog was still in house but going crazy (Dane-mix). He finally gets the message, but hangs in my drive for couple of minutes when she went in.
Now, here’s the thing. I know there are all types out there and I have followed some of the threads around privacy & probably fall somewhere in the middle. I thought on it a bit and waited to post, but am still REALLY pi’’ed off. How many here would feel the same? I know downed trees are fair game and it never hurts to ask, but going up a clearly posted lane?
