First post....and a crushed van!

[Nordic G]

Greetings and hallucinations..........

Been lurking for over a year, figured it was time to actually post. Here is a crushed van I got out on a scrounge this summer. The storms in Delaware county Indiana made for a many a scrounge this year. The van is from Muncie, Indiana- Old Historic District

I'd say she's totaled.

 

[Nordic G]

Guess I should have clarified- not my van......just got a picture of it and scrounged some wood from beside it. It was a maple

 

[ScotO]

Yeah they should have chanted "like a good neighbor, State Farm is there" just a little faster, would've saved the day!

 

[TimJ]

looks like mayhem was there

 

[PapaDave]

Nah, that'll buff right out.

 

[Fire Breathing Dragon]

Yeah man, time to buy a truck; way over loaded there...

 

[Jack Straw]

Maybe you could make a wood hauler out of her!

Welcome to the forums Nordic G...

They should know better than to overload those luggage racks like that....

To quote Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High "My Dad's this incredible TV repairman,he's got an awesome set of tools,he can fix that!!" (I wonder if Phoebe Cates is still smokin' hot like she was in that movie? I kinda doubt it....)

"The van is from Muncie, Indiana- Old Historic District"

The van is most certainly history, I'm quite confident of that.

Welcome to the forum Nordic G.

 

[CageMaster]

i'm not sure what makes me more sad.....the fact the van is totaled or the fact the van owner is not a wood burner!

Welcome to the Hearth forums! One question: anybody hazard a guess as to how many face cords of van is there?

 

[bogydave]

Welcome.
Hope you didn't nick the paint when cutting, hard on the chain

 

[red oak]

Welcome to the forum! Never had to maneuver around a van when cutting before!

 

[muncybob]

The wood should season well in under 2 years, not sure how long the van will take though!

 

[Black Jaque Janaviac]

Wew! It's a good thing it wasn't your van. I hate it when I fell trees and they land on my own stuff. . . oh, wait a minute . . . the STORM blew the tree down and you just snapped the photos after cutting some of the tree away. (tongue-in-cheek)

A lot of those silver maples around towns are rotted out accidents waiting to happen. This was one of them.

You should have just towed the van away with the wood. Take it to the wreckers and get some free wood.

Yes they are....I have scrounged 3 maple varieties this summer--all urban scrounges from storm damage!

Actually.....when I took the crushed van pics I was headed 1 block over to cut up this bad larry




As you can see, the piece of craftsman managed to get his ugly mug in the pics..

 

[CageMaster]

there's a lot of wood in that tree...go craftsman
