I'm really cross. We're having some trees taken down. We have wood burners in the house and are about to get a biomass log boiler and so the logs are really valuable to us to heat the house.
There is admittedly an enormous of wood from the trees but when I left the house this afternoon the tree surgeon asked if he could take eight barrows full (basically the whole of the back of his truck I suspect). He said we'd never use it before it rots. I was a bit flustered since I wasn't expecting it, we'd already told him we were keeping all the wood and didn't need them to remove (and no doubt sell) it. and said "um, well, um I guess so, well no let me ask DH first to make sure he's ok about it." I then had to leave the house for a couple of hours.
I've returned to find that although there is masses of wood everywhere its not all here. The reason I know this is that I saw them chain saw a load up earlier into log sized pieces and that stuff isn't there, its all big long branches left.
I'm really annoyed about it. I feel I've now been put in a really difficult position where I have to confront them about it tomorrow. AIBU to be so cross when actually we do have masses of wood. The thing is we will use it and the cost of taking down the trees was over a thousand pounds. We'd justified it on the basis that the wood it created would offset some of the cost. Its very difficult to confront them though because they'll probably just deny it.
They've also left massive stumps nearly two foot high rather than cut them to ground level as has always been done by our other tree surgeons in the past.
