Remember trees have souls of a kind……….Cut it into manageable lengths and stack it carefully in a cross over pattern about five or six inches apart so that the air can pass through it. This is a drying process called seasoning. Once your horse chestnut is seasoned “dried” get your other half to get his tools out and between you build a sculpture of anything you like and position it directly in line of the offending neighbours view. This will not only serve to make them Jealous over your wonderful sculpture but serve as a warning if they touch anything else……..Alternatively wait until November the fifth the rest I leave to your imagination.
