Beg for wood

[Fifelaker]

Stopped on my way back from the post office about a block from my house a tree service was cutting some oak. I have to get it out today looks to be about 1/2 cord with more on the ground tomorrow if I'm a good boy and take what they left me today. I really should think about this awhile. OK I thought about it I'm off like a prom dress. The owner is also coming to my house later to price out a couple of dead oaks (oak wilt) I don't want to drop (I'm CHICKEN) there is about 4-5 cords in these old oaks. Very sad to see them go but good heat for the next couple of years.

many of my neighbors complain about oak wilt, I smile and say its natures way we just have to go along, then ask for the wood :>)

If you can make that wood go away overnight I think it'll encourage the tree service to call you next time. Those guys have a lot of wood to give away, but can't afford to leave the job wondering if you're going to show up or not.

I hope what you say comes true. It's all gone from their yard and into mine 3 trailers about a cord. I hope as much tomorrow

Hard work, but worth it.
Sounds like you're on your way to becoming their "go to guy".
Hope you have the space, you may have "the ultimate wood source".
Good job,
Great job, if we had pictures

LOL, not you, Dude, yer Golden!

Back sore today from yesterday's wood? Ya may find this hard to believe, but you may find yourself begging them to NOT drop off any more wood if this keeps up! :wow:

Ah got ya couldn't think of what i deleted. As for my back it didn't hurt any more than usual, damn thing hurts all the time. If I would have known I was going to live this long I would have taken a LOT better care of it years ago.
