    Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support. He really is a great kid and very motivated (for his age) although he sometimes needs a little encouragement to get his wood duties done. It is fun working with him though and I know I will miss it when he’s too busy.

    Looks like lots of future money for the piggy bank. How long will that last him as far as sales go?

    He goes through 9-10 cords of hardwood and 3-4 cords of pine a year. That was right around 4 cords worth

    I want it noted; that I worded my post very carefully to stay within family friendly guidelines. These rapscallions are trying to lead me down a path, that leads to a place I generally reside:emb:

    Apologies for the :Yar: Jrider Just keep doing what you do:tip:
