Man when it rains it pours- on the good side though
Thru networking and some CL postings I've been getting more offers than I can handle for wood but today is one I don't want to refuse but also feel I need to know my limits.
Was contacted by someone that has 15 oak trees, about 18" in diameter each , that are clean drops with no buildings etc near. He wants me to drop them, limb them and he will drag them with his tractor to the front of the lot and let me buck and haul them at my leisure. I'm figuring about 6-7 cords using a table on how much wood is in a tree that diameter. My problem is its only me, and my trailer can handle 1/2 cord and its about a 35 minute trip each way so it would be a bunch of hauling but man 6-7 cords of oak sounds nice Would sew up my stash for 2013 and 2014 nicely
I tried calling a few buds to see if they would split the effort but no takers.
What do you guys think? Too much for one guy or should I suck it up and kiss off fishing for June and get this stuff?
