One of those circle type things. Trees fall in the woods and you need to clean them up to avoid forest and grass fire hazards (U.S Forest Service information), so you bring the wood to your yard to cut split and stack. Some one (insurance person) tells you to clean up your area because your house looks trashy (Zoning, county, or township issue NOT insurance). So, you clean up the wood, split it and stack it next to your house. Fire Marshal comes and says that it is too close to your house and it needs to be moved a number of feet away to prevent fuel for a potential fire. So, you move the wood away from the house. In the mean time, they tell you (insurance) that you cannot burn said wood because it creates a fire hazard? Isn't that what burning is all about? Fire! So, now you have a bunch of wood not sitting in the woods causing a potential forest fire issue, not in your yard pissing off an insurance agent, county, township, or zoning person, not next to the house to please the fire marshal, and not in your wood stove to ensure you don't burn anything? Sound about right!!!
Nailed it!
