SE Michigan Need a hand

[Augie]

So I think I am set for this winter as far as wood goes, but I have 3 cords of rounds that need to be split, they are big maple rounds(about 2 cord) and 1/2 cord elm and 4 big rounds of willow. I have been splitting by hand but would like to get this all done in an afternoon so I don't have to worry about it.

Does anyone in the area with a splitter want to lend a hand? Vertical is best and some rounds are 2x3x3. Compensation can come in the form of $$, a handshake, Homebrew Beer, Homebrew Moonshine, some of the wood, or any combination of above that you like.

Of course for helping me out a great meal is always included. Thanks is advance if anyone is free to lend a hand.


I am just of M59 and Duck Lake Road in White Lake

I hope someone is able to help you out with this. I'm a little far away, but I know your area pretty well. My grandparents live on Lower Pettibone lake in Highland twp.

I hope so as well, gotta get all of this processed so I can relax! at least for a couple of weeks.

Don't offer anybody that willow. Hope somebody can help you out though. Someone will come through. A lot of nice people here.

Wait... We have a willow hoarder? I guess it takes all kinds of nuts to keep Planters in business.

Hell no Im not hording willow, Dont call me names like that I wouldnt think of that as a fair offer of compensation for the favor, oak yes. My arborist dropped it off before I knew what it was, It is here, Im not asking him to take it away so Im burning it as fast as I can, A lot was burned over the summer in fire pits or I gave it away

Ok, ok, I was only kidding you.

Too far for a casual trip Augie.
I have a daughter and son-in-law not too far from you, but they don't burn.
I was just over at their place up here (summer/vaca home) mowing the lawn, and a couple of the apple trees in the yard lost branches.
I'll be getting that stuff ASAP.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Ya, he is around 80 miles or so from us. A long way to haul a splitter.

 

[Augie]

No one????

If no members want in, throw up an ad on Craigslist. Skip the beer and all that, work them like mules, give em some wood, and make em leave.

 

[Waulie]

I'm too far as well. Maybe rent a splitter and just get any old buddy who likes beer to help?

 

[Augie]

I was going to rent or put an ad in CL, figured Id offer to the community first
