NBC ran a bit on a wood bank started by a lady in New Hampshire to help low income family's heat their homes during the winter. It's run by volunteers who accept wood in any which way and they S/S/S it. They said many local folks will bring wood from their land that would just rot anyways and it goes to a good cause, especially with this long and cold winter plus the way fuel prices have been I'm sure it's been a god send for some. Good going NH!! When these people that run the service get to the gate someday I think they'll get extra points for their pass for sure!!

Thanks for sharing - found a link to video clip here. I'm aware of that wood bank, and others like it in southern NH. Someone I know (

Very cool concept that will hopefully gain momentum in the wake of this wicked freeze. I'm sure there are more than a few folks on here that would or already do subscribe to the "neighbors helping neighbors" model.

There was a long-time member here, multiple-daily poster, named "Pallet Pete". He parted ways with the forum just a few months back.
