My neighbor’s trees are not well kept. He fails to trim them, or remove dead braches. They are very large trees. Any way, one day a branch fell and landed on “our fence”, as in we paid for it. (Since then another piece of dead tree broke our fence again.) My father, not one to look for trouble, fixed the fence, and asked him if he would please remove the dead branches from on top of the tree so they won’t fall and hurt one of his children. The neighbor said he was too busy and it was too expensive. My dad, a busy man as well, said he had the day off and would not mind doing it, free of charge. The neighbor said it was great; he would sell the dead wood as fire wood. My dad did the job, piles the small pieces of wood and goes home. The next day the neighbor starts yelling at my mom. The neighbor claims that my dad piled the wood in a messy way, and that the wood would have to be cut to a certain measurement exactly, and the wood my dad cut was in different measurements. He said my dad could either finish the job or he would sue. Can he do this?
