    We left the rest of the Ash, hung up in the trees hoping it will come down on its own.

    That's for sure! He inspects every load and this is only his second season. He is a tough cookie!

    Believe it or not (the little Hampton proved it when I got home) that dead standing Hedge measured 14 % on my moisture meter!

    I did BD, and it was amazing. I had stove top temp and secondaries in 10 minutes. I have never had dead standing that good! That stuff doesn't need any seasoning, it is ready to go right now! Amazing.

    Looks like Buddy was really checking things out. I like to take my guys out while I'm working too. I think my puppy can eat a cord of bark while we're out. lol

    Cool pics tfdchief! Nice wood hauler. That wood inspector will need a treat for all that hard work. And you can give the guy with the saw a cold beer for his work I guess. :thumbs:
