<<I'm assuming that you mean to cut it up and use it as firewood(?).>>

I thought she meant pile it in the yard and burn it. I wouldn't burn rotten wood in a fireplace, it stinks.

Yesterday I dragged a lot of the fallen wood out of the woods and onto the back yard. Not sure exactly what I have in mind, one thing I have in mind is a fence, another thing I do want to do is plant the pecan trees. Behind our lot is a 2 acre lot that is all treed, like the back 1/3 or so of our lot. One of our near neighbors told us that the person who owns that lot wants to develop it. The large lot up the street that is being developed was just clear-cut, so I have to assume that the lot behind me will be clear-cut one day. So I want to preserve the good trees, I've got maples and oaks which I want to keep, and hollies, which Chris likes, so they stay, and then most of the rest appear to be buckeyes. I can't think of any reason to keep the buckeyes, but I am not going to cut them down yet, I am thinking about it. But I do want to plant the pecans back there because they will get very tall, they are space hogs, they grow over 100 ft tall, and maybe 50 ft wide, so they will be nice even if the other lot is clearcut. And also clear a place for the pawpaws and American persimmons.

The other fruit trees I will plant in the front yard, which faces east, and is sunny.
