I am fortunate enough to live on a couple acres near the end of a private road in fine PNW timberland. It's a beautiful setting with privacy and lots of trees, mostly Doug Fir with some patches of Alder.
Well early this spring the neighbor across from me had most of his lot cleared. Now instead of looking out my front window at a wall of Doug Fir I see the side of his house. There are still plenty of trees to look at beyond him but I'm sure you can all understand how I would be upset. Sure it's his land to do as he wishes with but if the guy didn't like trees why did he leave the city??? That's all I'm saying.
So where's the silver lining you ask... today I was up there talking to him and there was a small pile of wood the logger left behind, not marketable I guess. My silver lining was getting 2-3 cord of firewood from right across the street!
Of course I would prefer the privacy and trees but what am I gonna do, they're gone. I'll just try not to think about it as I'm burning them this winter.
