We are from California and have a second home in Washington.
One of our kids lives here full time.
The wife and I come up every 6-8 weeks.
We have been here a couple months this time to shelter in place.
Our neighbors are from Seattle and this is their second home as well.
So we received a text yesterday from them.
They don’t like me burning firewood in my wood burning stove.
They even said they don’t want us to use our burn pile outside for yard burning.
They said that they would even haul away my yard burn debris for free.
No way will I ever allow that.
I am being as nice as possible so we are still on good terms.
But what the heck?
I’m the guy that moved here from CA.
Shouldn’t I be the one to want to change things
?
We are allowed to use our wood burning stove and do yard burns.
We are each living on several acres.
To be fair they are probably going through hard times with the virus thing and they are clear cutting about 50 acres across the street.
Their house is right next to the road and I’m sure she is just hating that.
Just wait until they do that 50 acre burn
.
I’m about 150 yards through dense forrest off the road.
I think I will try to be nice and burn hot fires in the stove and ask them which day would be best for them to do my yard burn.
This situation sucks but I’ll give it a bit before I tell them to stick it you know where.
Have any of you dealt with this before?
Thoughts?
