    The time is here to turn this into money. I started delivering wood this afternoon with a 2 cord load. I have 22-24 cords going out this weekend. It’s about time to change the flow of cash around here.

    Most deliveries are within 10 miles. Yes to dump truck that holds 2 cords. I have all oak or mixed hardwood. Also have 5-6 cords of cherry.

    How is insurance on a dump truck for commercial use? Most construction guys I know switched to dump trailers or just have roll off dumpsters brought to sight.

    Thats great Joe, God knows you've worked very hard in the heat making firewood. Time to reap the rewards. Just curious, how old is the most weathered windrow?

    Wife wants to put 35’s on her Jeep and a small lift kit. There will be a sweet all inclusive vacation somewhere and then who knows but she always seems to have plans for it

    Nice job, brother. Glad you are beginning to reverse the cash flow. Folks down here always wait till its cold...like they don't know winter is coming...
    We do have a few customers that order in advance...

    Finished up the weekend at 25.5 cords loaded up and hauled out. Was tired and sore when I got home yesterday.
