    I really don't have the space, but a little while ago I answered a CL 'free firewood' ad offering large rounds of dead oak, with an invitation to request pics via email. So, I requested. This is the photo I got back. I may cry.

    Yep, you need a big truck.
    Several trips in a smaller vehicle would work too, so don't pass up that deal.:tree:

    Go get a truck, but not a brand new one. Otherwise you will worry about nicking up the bed, and when that new truck honeymoon is over, id have gotten that wood already. :p

    Now stop reading this and go get one!:yes:

    How about a fair truck and a good trailer? Again you guys/gals are killing me on free oak.

    Ah, free oak is nothing. Free halfway-dry, barkless oak is kinda unusual, though.

    Uhaul with a ramp, roll them on. Ignore the part of the contract that says no firewood.

    Storage space at home is the bigger problem. If I had a place to put it I would absolutely find a way to move it. I'll grab a small load or two if I can, but that's where it'll have to stop.

    Think outside the box. Piece together the bucked up oak, like a giant vertical puzzle. Just claim its a totem pole, boom, done!

    Home Depot rents. Grab the goods. C/S/S. Sit back surf for the truck you want at your leisure. Storage space no big deal.:)

    It's not fire wood.

    It is raw materials for his artistic carvings of totem pole tributes to the fertility gods of the Lesser Pygmy Indians of West-Outer-Bumfrickistan. Wouldn't want to up set the fertility gods of the Lesser Pygmy Indians of West-Outer-Bumfrickistan now would we?

    Where there's a will there's a way;)

    I don't think your wife and neighbors would complain about a new patio set?

    I still see exposed walls on your place.

    Or how about a little interior decorating?
