Tree Job +

[Craig S.]

Had a big oak taken down at the house, and the tree company gave me the locust/cherry/whiteOak they had in the truck from the previous job. My helper and I have some work to do....

That's awesome. I gotta start making some calls to get some logs dropped at my house

Sweet bonus! I wish tree services would give stuff away around here! They charge customers an arm and a leg to remove them and sell either logs for another arm and a leg, or it cut and split for both arms and both legs. Or they just pay to dump it. I have called several different ones in the area with no success.

Nice bonus score!

 

[Soundchasm]

That is awesome, and I hope you just forgot to leave your hydraulic splitter out of your signature block...

 

[blacktail]

Dude! Those are some giant rounds! Nice score.

Good connection. Let them know that in the future they can drop stuff at your place if they're in the area.

I have three tree companies that have me on their list. One guy came by when I was at work, and my neighbor grabbed the wood. Honestly, until I process some of this, I can't take more. I know ... its a good problem to have.

How do you split the big rounds? Log splitter in the vertical position?

Great grab on some great woods!

I was gonna say 'Freakin' cheap Dutchmen' until you got to the part about them taking it to the dump rather than giving it to you.

Yeah - that's the problem, in my experience. If you tell them you can't take any more, they forget about you after that.

It is rather disappointing because it would be a time saver for me. I can't justify paying for wood as I'm on NG. On the other hand I do enjoy cutting in the woods better anyhow. It just digs into my hunting and fishing more than I'd like. Although now that I'm to the point where I can just cut to replace what I use I'll get some of that time back.

As my Dad would often say,"You do that like you eat an elephant...one bite at a time..." (or should I say cut? )
That being said either go vertical or use a chainsaw to make the rounds more manageable, I would think.
