    Last week, My friend who owns a tree business brought me a nice load of Maple, about 1/2 cord. Today, I'm in the yard with the Pups and he pulls up again, (I'm thinking another load of Maple) no big deal and Thank you very Much! Nope, he smiles, swings the rear doors open and dumps this! :D:cool::banana:. We enjoyed a Beer :drunk: after the dump, He NEVER takes any :emptywallet:but he get's a VERY good bottle of Scotch at Christmas. He said he has 8 Oaks to remove from a building lot in the next few weeks. I got first dibs on the wood but I can't take much over 28", rolling them around Kicks my ARSE! :pain: Sucks getting old huh... :BrianK:

    I thought you were trying to leave NJ. Now you have to wait 3 years for the oak to dry.

    He's taking it with him! :D I would.

    You might be a wood hoarder if...
    ...you are relocating and the first thing you worry about is moving your hoard of firewood.

    Can't move firewood around much anymore. Bug control laws.
