Sunday night we had a mini tornado roll through within a block of my house. This area is really old and there is lots of huge oak trees around. I had seen a couple of trees down but am on a scrounging hiatus because I haven't finished taking care of what I've got yet. I told my wife that I was really getting antsy seeing all this wood but would not scrounge any because I still have so much work to do. Yesterday at work the city came knocking and asked if I was still interested in wood. I told them that I still hadn't split those monster rounds they gave me a few months ago. So the guy says there should be some smaller stuff and I should stop by and gave me the street. I went by and told the boss that I really appreciated the offer, but just couldn't handle anything big right now. Then he asks if it'd be ok to drop by some smaller stuff. So I reluctantly agreed that I could use it. They dropped this off in 3 loads. No idea of how much it is but will probably take me 5 loads or so with my pickup. All red oak of course. Here I am trying to not scrounge and they keep pressing wood on me. At least I'll have lots for next year. I'm probably working on 3-4 years out truthfully and that's for me and my dad too. I know without pics it didn't happen so here are some. Same pile... 2 views.
