It might be worth mentioning that this house is a 5 hour drive from where I 
live, so I can't just pop over and check up on stuff. While I don't have the 
legal right to go now, in fact, I doubt anyone would mind. The neighbors all 
know me, and all know my husband is getting the house.

But since it is hard to get there, and we have some stuff we need to do after 
get legal access, I hope to harvest wood at the same time we will be going 
there for other reasons.  That happens to be a lousy time of year for this 
purpose, but it sounds like there are some options.
