I think my new neighbor will be Ok!

[mapper]

Some folks just bought the 5 acres next door to us, my other next door neighbor's have been great and i think the new folks are going to be as well. They are currently cleaning up the old homsite and preparing to build a new home. They had an arborist come in to evaluate the trees on the property and he recommended cutting several large old trees due to age and decay in them. When we first met a couple of weeks ago he noticed that I heat my shop with wood, and asked it I wanted the trees that had been cut. I found that the trees in question are a rather large flowering cherry (30" dbh), and a huge black locust (48" dbh) due to decay in the cherry it does not have much value other than fire wood. So right off the bat they have given me about 4 or more cords of high grade firewood already cut to length.
I will be helping these folks out with some tractor related stuff to say the least! As he enjoys shooting I helped I helped him build a backstop berm a couple of days ago. I now have an open invitation to use his range whenever I wish.
Sometimes I wonder how I have been so lucky in getting good neighbors!

It takes two to tango so you get half the credit for being a nice guy as well.

It is always good when neighbors can get along and help each other to the benefit of both.

Does make it LOT easier getting along. :thumbsup:

No matter where I moved, every neighbor I ever had were hard to get along with. They always were antagonizing me making my attitude less cheery. They were always doing things on their property to get under my skin

Of course I am kidding and it is great when good neighbors come along.

My neighbor on one side is OK.....Doesn't bother me and I don't bother him. We have helped each other a bit. Neighbor on the other side is a total dick.

Maybe it's me............

Are you right or left handed?

We only have one and he is an absolute aerosol, I have been levelling gravel for the horse arena and it threw up a bit of dust (4' grader on the BX) which drifted over to his place and he complained bitterly, when the wind blows our way which is more often we get dust over the cars that we could use a grader to take off from his trucks and buses that are in and out all day.
Some young blokes had a party behind his shed one night and I told him, he said it was OK and to mind my own business but he was banging on my door when someone stole a big tri axle trailer to see if I heard anything.
I just keep out of his way now.
He sells sand and has a quarry but chaarges way too much so we buy it elsewhere, he said his daughter might use our arena when it's finished but doesn't offer to help with his big road grader.
We have planted about 200 trees along our boundary so the dust isn't much of an issue any more.
Conversely we have friends with a farm about 1km away and we are always helping each other out with bits and pieces the other doesn't have, I have a lot of stationary woodworking gear and have repaired furniture for him, he welded up a frame for holding implements for me (I have a welder but I don't win any prizes for my welding skills) and so it goes on, we enjoy each others company over BBQ's and his bad taste in beer.

I have two neighbors - one on the north, other on the south. We get along just fine. I'm fortunate.

We are fortunate that we have great neighbours. None too close as we have large blocks. The only bad one down the road got done for fraud and had to sell up to pay the govt back. No-one liked him. say no more.... The new folk have tidied the place up and always give us a wave. Must stop and introduce myself when I get a chance.
