Frustrated neighbors take actionOne of our visitors sent us this report.Our
neighbor installed an *******, a 650,000 btu furnace on his 1.9 acres.
The furnace is four feet from our lot line, 200 feet from our
bedrooms. We are sick of
the STENCH! He
burns 3 ft diameter, 4 feet long, unseasoned wood. He even burns pressure treated (the green ones) utility
poles. Not sure where he is
getting the poles from. We
have pictures of his burning piles. Our
situation is very similar to Nancy
from NH article you have posted. Our terrain is the same. Our
neighbor burns 365 days a year, heats a 2500 sq ft shed, 1500 sq ft
indoor pool and a 3000 sq ft home. Townships
are not prepared to deal with these monster units. Our neighbor hired a lawyer to argue with the town's building
inspector, who tried to shut him down many times. This
past December, we went to the Circuit Court to seek an injunction to
stop burning and a temporary injunction has been issued. It's just terrible that we had to go through this expensive
process. Attached
is a picture out our bedroom window of what we wake up to on quite a few
mornings. Thanks
for your site!
