    Picture of the pile. It is bigger than it looks. It is as deep as wide.

    Hello everyone. Wanted to put this out there. We are having a charity wood cut May 16th 2015 for Firewood Helper on Facebook. The wood pile from the fall cut is no more. But we still have 11 stacked pallets/loads from the fall charity cut and going fast. Hoping to get a head start on afternoon of May 15th. May is a hard month to plan around. Mothers day and Memorial day are both in May and then there is spring planting season for the farmers. Location Waukee/West Des Moines area. Logs are provided by a local tree company. We cut and split the wood. We work with local food banks to help provide heat for people in need of assistance.
