    Some acreage next to my shop is being sold. Realtor told them to open it up a bit so I was asked if I wanted some wood. Well twist my arm..

    For now I'm just stacking logs and hoping it doesn't sell before I get it all !!!!

    Get it before it snows or ices or turns into a mudfest! Looks like good hoarding weather.
    Are they still cutting? How much is left?
    This is really an epic grab!

    How long are those logs?

    What percentage of the total do you think you have already stacked?

    Sounds like a gtg is needed this weekend.

    Not sure really but I'm thinking about 30+ - log cord. Hard to tell as it is pretty dense in there.
