A neighbors tree falls in my yard. ...
Massive oak tree, easily3.5- 4 ft in diameter at the trunk. Took out a few smaller trees of ours( planted last summer) and a little landscaping, nothing major. We talked last night, and I told him that it was not really in my way, and that if takes a few weeks to clean up, I am cool with that. He asked for my help cleaning it up. I said "gladly, would you be willing to split the wood with me?" . He said " no, I want the wood" . I don't really like this neighbor, anyhow. Just two weeks ago, I GAVE him my old thule bike racks . When he asked about borrowing them, I let him use them for a week, and he commented on how nice it was to not have his bike in his hatch, and asked me if I would sell them. I don't use them, I thought it cheesy to sell to my neighbor, so I gave them to him.
There is easily enough wood for the both of us for two seasons, and he does not have any equipment. He has a little 12 " chain saw.. I have the saws, splitter, and dump truck to move all the wood.
Am I out of line to ask for half the wood? He seemed offended that I asked, but damn, this is gonna be a lot of work , and it will end up being all my equipment that gets it done. Seems fair to me that we both make out a little bit from this.
