Then of course, they realized they could never burn that huge pile of firewood, and they sure did not want to touch it or go near it. In the end they spent a huge sum to pay some professionals to use a bulldozer to push it to the far corner of the lot to rot away. No one would go near it. They did hire some pros to come spray the stuff to start to kill it off.

That story sucks.
