Oh.... not what I thought this thread would be about. Now I know why it's in the Wood Shed instead of the Ash Can. %-P

A Google search for My Neighbors's Cherry is probably not a good idea if you are at work, your wife or kids are in the room, or you are in a public place.

Back to the thought behind this topic. Zap, that looks like an excellent tree for firewood. I too would try to give some back to the neighbor.

I look at the puzzle and still wonder how I will go at it, once I get in there and clean up the downed pine I will have a better idea.

Try to give some back if they burn wood at all , if not make it an event. After you get the worst of it down start a bonfire for the sticks in their yard and invite them over for smores !
Most agreed, if your neighbor lets you steal her cherry, you should at least let her have some of your wood.

I have no doubt that however you do it, it will look like perfectly manicured park when you are done.

Two more face cord of beech that needs stacking (blocking my way into the cherry) then I have a good size cherry my other neighbor wants me to remove from the lot he wants to sell (he doesn't want the cherry either) so I have a good start on catching Sav on cords of wood on hand.

Maplewood I like burning Cherry but when the real cold sets in Sugar Maple and Beech will be what I change to, especially for the overnight burns.

That's funny. Until I started loitering around here, I thought a couple face cord in the garage and then a pile of rounds to split through the winter as I needed it was being ahead. I'm glad I saw the light before I had my run in with Suburban Propane.

Zap, The tree looks like the roots are still attached. My wife likes the smell of cherry when I burn it in the open fireplace, when it is in the stove it is all heat no smell.

We still use some propane for the fireplace upstairs, the last delivery of oil was January of 2009. Before getting on this site I was told 6-8 months was good for most of the wood we use.
2011-2012 will be the first year all the wood we use will be seasoned between 1 and 2 years.

Last year was our first year of that. Between the new stove and dry fuel, it was a pretty pleasant winter. So much less work and irritation if you are willing to put in the time so far ahead. The joy of putting our 500 gallon propane tank on the curb last winter and telling them where they could shove it is something I will remember the rest of my life.

I wish I had taken a picture of it before I moved it as it sat right in the middle of where the heap is now.
