    Welcome to the club!

    Under "resources" at the top of the page, this document can be found. It's very useful.

    Welcome to the forum Jdu94. What part of MI are you from?

    Hopefully you will be able to post some pictures. We can help you with the pictures.

    They are probably too big. Resize and try again. Or, try a different browser.

    Thank you. You are a bit west of me. There are a few hoarders close to you. You might consider meeting some of us hoarders next spring when we have another GTG here at the end of April.

    That wood looks a bit big to come from Watt's Orchard. Any idea what's going on there? I heard it was closed after Bruce passed but no clue if someone else took it on. My mom was born and raised in that general area and I have cousins near Morley. Lots of trips made there to get cherries and peaches plus visit with the cuz crew.

    I laughed when i saw that at the score! Didnt meet the guy who did and he was rather brazen doing so as it was an urban area with small yards. Those were right on the sidewalk.
