You come home and find notes like this on your door

Will you go look at it, or already know what to tell him for size?

What is growing on your roof?

I've got a call in to him.  I've got low motivation to purchase logs right now because I just brought free ones home but I'll check it out.  That's some kind of bay hedge there with virginia creeper that is growing up in front of the roof.  Right this minute, it's not actually on the roof but it may be tomorrow.

That's pretty awesome. If I even had a log in my yard the only note I'd get would be from the neighborhood association or the city telling me to get it out of the yard or they'd do it for me and charge me.

I have come home and found logs by my mill and a day or two later I will get a phone call to tell me what they want.  I once came home and there was about four cords  of hemlock waiting a couple of weeks later I found out a buddy wanted a small shed.

Sometimes it helps to be psychic.

I'm hoping today that there is a psychic roofer out there with some nice logs he'd like to trade for the privilege of building a small roof for me.

I thank my wife for her patients! I have 4 tree services that dump logs in my front yard when they cut in the area. Its great to come home and find free logs waiting for me. I need to finish the log road so they can dump at the mill. Keep sawing...Brian

I had a big pile of slabs in my yard and I had more people that said " I'll take them " and after about two weeks and no one came to get them I found the best way to make them go away..... I put them at the end of my driveway  and  put a free sign on them and the next time I look there gone  :D

I may actually have to haul off a truckload of slabs before long.  Never had to do that before.  Generally they all get burned at various campouts but there's not much call for firewood in a FL summer.

If my yard looked like yours.....

#1:  Code Enforcement would be issuing 'paperwork'.
#2:  My wife would have my 'backside'.


I am so jealous, I had to put up a 6' dogear fence due to my small mill.  Code Enforcement told me I had my 'lumber'(which were logs) off the ground by 24"!(WTH)  Although the supervisor could not show me one piece of lumber anywhere(guess he didn't like being video'd).....I was harassed to the point of contacting the mayor.

Long story short, I told the 'new hire' Code Enforcement fella I'd bury him next to my dog if he ever stepped on my property without a warrant.  Supervisor escorted him off my place, then came back and made me sick by apologizing.....  Then he scheduled a time to bring three log over and have them milled!

I also milled a big piece of White Oak as a bench for a park....the mayor really liked it ;D



I ended up with a $3,500 fence surrounding my place.  Moral of the story.....know the law, the code, and don't let 'them' be bullies and make up code/laws(I printed out the Code and showed him what he didn't know).

I'm on a dead end street.  Code doesn't come down here much.  Bldg inspector did show up to check out a new roof across the street.  I sweated a little till he left.  I'm working on getting that log pile processed and the slabs taken care of so I can move the mill back to the back and be a little more discrete.  Plus, I have logs back there too.

ScottinCabot, you are so right. A few years ago when my F.I.D. card (Firearms I.D.) was about to expire, I went to our police station to get it renewed. The officer in charge of FID cards said the system had changed and since I didn't have a current hunting license I would have to take a safe hunting course before I could get a new FID card. I didn't think that was right but I didn't argue with him as he was very polite. I looked up the law on the internet and found out I was grandfathered in because I had a current FID card. I was entitled to a new card without taking the hunting course. I printed out the law and brought it back to the police officer. He was rather taken aback and embarrassed but was very courteous and thanked me. He asked me if he could keep the copy of the law. ;D :D    I got my new FID card a week later. ;D

Nice to have a back-up set of logs!  Always a big plus....
I'm at the 'beginning' of a dead end street.  And nosey neighbors, that need to get lives of their own.  Ever had the law called on you for running a chainsaw on a Saturday afternoon?
