Free load of wood

jimdeerejimdeere Member, Moderator Posts: 26,153 ******

We've had two micro bursts here in the last two weeks. Right after a big rain. Lots of trees down. I hear chainsaws running every day.

It's too hot for me to be out cutting, but a friend called and said he had a wild cherry tree down and already cut up. I couldn't pass it up.

    I'd just guess I have 40-50 trees blown down by the storm a few weeks back. Lots of them fell across fences but no one seems interested in cutting wood in July🤐. We had a little 'micro-burst' squirt through last night. This morning I found another tree top (obviously broken or damaged previously) had fallen across the UTV path I run each morning while checking cattle. That's going to require a tractor & chain before I can even begin with a saw.

    I offered to let a couple guys cut wood 'on the shares' (they cut 3 loads and I keep 1) but they thought it wasn't fair. Oh well.

    I don't let summer heat stop me from cutting wood. Free cherry wood?? What a deal! Nice score!

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    It's not the heat, it's the heat AND the humidity. I see those tree service guys out in this weather in their full protective gear, no way I could do that job, now.

    I never thought I would see a face cord go for 80 to 100 delivered.

    I could sell that load over in the college town for $150 if it was split and seasoned.

    Always "split" in the winter however. Freezing makes it so much easier😊
