Last fall I wrote a letter to "Rob" asking about some dead locusts down and standing in his pasture...no reply.
A month ago he called me out of the blue saying I couild have them, very motivatd to get them out of there "I couldn't find anyone who wanted the wood". I suggested he set a time/date for us to meet and look over the situation, access, etc. "I'll call you".
Nothing...
Couple contacts asking for a meet..
Nothing...
Called left a message last week...nothing.
I called him again Saturday and told him I was ready to start on his and asked again about access. Some excuses for not meeting this weekend.
Decided to drive out and scout the fence line for a gate today. Knock on door, nothing, dogs raisign a fuss, nothing. Okay - I walkd the fence line - no gate I could find, lousy shape but witha very good high tension electric around the top of it. Cows and LLamas in it.
Turn to leave and catch a glimpse of his back door quietly closing. Did a bit more poking around and left.
Really nice batch of locust. I thought they were mostly small trees, nope. There are 4 that will push 3/4 cord each standing and a couple big ones down. Way too good of a score to pass up on.
I could do that big one in front anytime now but need do settle 'where does the brush go'.
Can't touch any of the pasture area until I have access of some sort.
Dunno what my next step is. Call again? Write a letter laying out the information I need to knows (what working hours, his days off, etc)?
Just basically ranting
