i have this score that i've been working on for a few weeks and i'm not sure if i'll ever be able to finish it off. it's the same that i've posted pics of in [url+https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/90447/]this thread[/url]. most of the wood is cut like my pics (16-19" mostly) but it's not all exactly right next to the driveway. a little bit is, but there is some walking (hauling) involved and there are large stacks ready-to-go in the backyard where i can't drive due to underground water lines or something. if anyone is interested, please let me know. i can help but the other problem is my work/kid schedule; makes me very limited in when i can snag the wood. if we get a good freeze again, i might try to talk the homeowner into letting me drive all the way back to help the process out. i'm putting this out there b/c i'd hate to see the stuff go to waste if they decide to call in the troops to dispose of the stuff. let me know..

edit: just in case anyone gets confused, i'm offering the scrounge with the wood -- not asking someone to haul it to my house hehe. lots of good oak!
 
I am confused about what is available and what you are offering? Feel free to PM me if details on the board are not allowed. we are in Lichfield County.

P.S. I can't let anyone drive into my backyard either because of the septic tank location. ;) so the lady may not be being all that unreasonable...
 
yeah, i brought my saw the first day and made a few cuts just to be picky and get a few rounds to 16", but i haven't had it there since. just roll, lift, and load. rinse and repeat.

i think they might have mentioned the septic also. i think one half of the backyard may me driveable, though. i'm thinking a big lawn cart or dolly would make things a little easier and ease the need for backing up onto the lawn. anyhows, check your PM. it's far, but may be worth it.
