   Several years ago about a half dozen trees fell downhill between my and   
   neighbors lots.  We split the cost of the tree cutter and I told him he   
   could have all the firewood.  He was quite pleased but unhappy when he   
   found he was going to have to bring the logs up hill and split them.   
   Firewood to him in the past was bought split and stacked.
