scored a scrounge. Wife thinks I'm crazy

[pyper]

When I came home with a truck load of wood my wife thought I was crazy. We've already got at least two more years worth of wood, and we're running out of convenient space to stack it.

But I just couldn't help myself. Duke Power came by and trimmed some trees at the office. They cut the limbs into 16, 24, and 36 inch pieces, and stacked them by the curb. A few need to be split, but most are in the 3 to 4 inch size.

Sounds smart to me!! What kind of wood? Pat

Tell her crazy is scrounging Christmas trees....

Sounds like a good score to me.

Too easy of a scrounge to pass up.
She'll adjust. Soon she won't think you are crazy, she'll know

Crazy? No way, tell the wife to clean out her closet full of shoes, clothes, purses, sweaters, and other non burning over priced collection of stuff that she doesn't use so you can use the closet for wood! Oh wait, that's what I told my wife.

I just tell mine "she's crazier for marring me"

My wife the eternal blessing who allows me to burn and cut and play! ( she also loves the heat)

My wife realizes that wood = heat. She hasn't complained about the purchase of two wood stoves, a chainsaw, chains, chain sharpener, chaps, Fiskars (and sharpener), or anything related to finding or hauling wood. We spent too many years with a cold living room because we didn't want to run our inefficient oil furnace.

Never enough wood, especially a easy scrounge like that.

I kid for sure my wife is a very sweet loving person who gets irritated if the furnace runs. It is an extreamly old in officiant peice of junk that shakes the ducts and burns the cash. We heat soley with wood because it is so much cheaper and warmer and smells great lol .I am very much about free wood and she even helps when she can because she says she feels usless otherwise. Personally I love humer and jokes having seen the darker side of the world and not liking it at all. As Dennis says keep smiling he is a very wise man. I love my wife vary much indeed.

nah not crazy. show your wife some of the pics and posts of the stuff the rest of us do and she'll see crazy. One word of caution- the disease only gets worse.

nice sharp hatchet, I can skin a Christmas tree fairly quick

they disintegrate faster in the woods with the branches pruned off, too

White oak!

I think the species is pin oak.

I brought home a neighbor's Christmas tree a couple days ago....

But we already knew you were crazy Dennis . . .

Exhibit A) Driving all the way from Michigan to New Hampshire for the Woodstock Open House. :

Exhibit B) Splitting your wood vertically.

For the record a) I truly am glad you made the long drive so I could meet you in person . . . and b) I still think you're wrong about splitting wood vertically, but I still like ya.

 

[firefighterjake]

Free wood . . . down on the ground . . . that's like manna from heaven . . . you would be crazy to not take it home.

Isn't anyone who burns wood kinda crazy anyway!
