    Well, fwiw, I actually have a long term plan here and am not just buying "stuff" for no reason. How this all works out still remains to be seen though lol.

    Ha, not quite! I will say though that my kids threatened me that if I suffer an early demise they will find a way to resurrect me long enough to get rid of my stuff. I think they're serious too.:rofl: :lol:

    Welcome to the forum Joe and that is nice work on that trailer.

    Fortunately I don't have to move wood very far and I do it in many ways. Here are some examples:

    Welcome aboard Joe’s Wood, Nice trailer, a bit larger than mine. I haul just under a cord, heaped, without sideboards. Mine is homemade 35 years ago. I tow with a Tundra and it does great. You will like the higher side boards.

    Trailer looks great.

    Like the other poster said, the prices of dumps really took off in the last couple of years. I don't see them going back down for quite awhile. I've been looking for a used one, but they are usually either beat to snot or priced like new. No dumper for this hoarder any time soon :(

    Yes, small world, especially considering the population lol. Thank you for the kind offer, but I came from Bellvue, we moved after 21 years there. God I miss the weather!
