A new buyer in the neighborhood had 14 good sized trees cut down back in December. I stopped by, introduced myself and asked if he minded if I take some of the wood. He said he was going to be gettting a wood stove so he wanted to keep it. I said I understood but since the house was a fixer upper, I knew the wood would be there for some time because it was the last thing on his mind. It appeared as though he had about 8 cords, much of it still not bucked, literally covering his lawn in front side and back. So, today he asked if I still wanted some wood. It appears negihbors called the township and they will fine him if he doesn't remove much of it by next week. I said I would be glad to take some but he said he would like me to take some of the pine that was mixed in with the hardwoods. He said he wanted no money as we were doing him a favor. I went to get him a case of beer and over a neighbor and I went. It appears most is hard maple, a good amount of mulberry and some various pines. There is no way I can take it all but I don't know which is better, maple or mulberry? I already took 3 truck loads plus a neighbor's 2 and doesn't even look like we dented the wood. Mulberry is very yellow too...never cut it before. I will post pics tomorrow.
!! Holy cow, it snowed all day here and we don't expect to see 70's until sometime in May. I'll bet you'll have bugs before we do. lol But I know what you mean about the weather there. We have a son who lives near Reading and I'm always amazed how much warmer it is there. A couple years ago we were there for Thanksgiving. I went dressed for winter but when we got there it was about 65 degrees and felt like spring.
