I have a friend who lives up on a ranch property and she goes through a few cord of wood every year. This year, she asked if she could borrow my splitter, so of course I said yes.... she traded me beer to use the splitter. A little less than a month later, her landlords told her that they were selling the property at the end of may and that she could no longer collect firewood after a certain date. she went out and dragged a bunch of deadfall and prepped for a cold winter. She borrowed the splitter again, and decided that she was going to have more than enough, and again i got a few cases of beer out of it.
Fast forward a couple of months.... it was a warm winter, and i get a phone call.
"Do you have any moving boxes?"
"sure do" I say.
"i'll trade you 1.5 cord of wood for a few boxes and some helping moving a few things"
"done"
This is the first load of seasoned pine... there are at least 3 more split that are well seasoned enough to burn, and another 2 of pine and aspen rounds....

It seems to me like I just got paid 3 times to take this wood
