We have some really good neighbors up in VT. They live behind our house, up a long driveway. Part of their driveway boarders the stone wall that's the edge of our property.
Awhile back, a tree from our property started to lean over their driveway. One of their daughter's noticed it one day when she left for school. This was in the middle of the week, so we weren't around. My neighbor went out, and cut the treet down. bucked it up and left the wood next to his driveway. He saw us outside the next weekend, stopped and let us know what he did. My wife and I were thankful since A) we weren't around and B) I hadn't purchased my saw yet. We drove up to their house and gave the parents a bottle of wine. I get to talking. Turns out, he has more trees he wants to take down...and doesn't need the wood. "Did you buy wood yet? No, good....you can take what we cut." So he and I (probably more towards the fall) will cut down some trees on their land and I'll bring it over to our place to season until next year.
Fast forward to this weekend. We get up to VT and there's a pile of wood right near my stacks. He had split the wood, loaded it in his truck and unloaded it near my stacks. Awesome.
Cliffs: A tree on our land half falls over our neighbors driveway, neighbor cuts tree, splits wood and gives it to me. Offers me more firewood in the future.
