Ownership

[Forest2Furniture]

3 months ago I was asked by a guy to mill up a Wych Elm that had been felled on the boundary between his and his neighbours property and that the neighbour had given the tree to him.

 

As the tree was to be milled in situ on the neighbours property (a cemetery) the relevant insurance documents were sent and accepted.

 

Now 3 quaters of the way through milling the tree and removing boards from site each night the neighbour (the vicar) has come to me and said seeing as I'm getting the wood for free he thinks I should contribute towards the felling costs in the form of a donation, turns out his neighbour, my client hasn't let on that he has SOLD me the tree.

 

If it wasn't for the fact it's nice timber I would tell them where to stick it!

turns out his neighbour, my client hasn't let on that he has SOLD me the tree.

 

Its not unreasonable for the vicar to want a bit back but not at your expense

 

Tell the vicar you have already paid and let them scrap it out

Sorted!

Sorted!

 

Don't keep it to yourself

Sorted!

 

COME ON ! Do tell ??????

The chair of the pcc told the vicar to butt out and apologise to me for sticking his nose in.

I've paid the neighbour for the tree who had been given it by the pcc.

 

So now ownership is mine which is just as well as 90% of the tree has been milled with the planks are away from site in storage

The tree & the wood

I ended up with about 130 cubic ft f wood board thickness 1.25" - 2" widths 15" - 38" in 12' & 9' lengths.

It had to be milled with a chainsaw mill as the only access was a path between the graves no more then 4' wide.

The closest I could get the trailer was 200yds away so everything was hand balled on plank wheels through the church yard and around the headstones!
