    I was having a couple of really long days at work earlier in the week, my wife texted to say she may have something to cheer me up (minds out the gutter please chaps ;-). When I got home this was in our parking spot...

    The neighbour was trimming a big branch on his huge beech tree and she went and asked for the wood them hauled it up the road with our 3 & 1 year olds "helping".

    What a lucky guy I am :)

    Great wife you got there, most of the time when your wife goes to a neighbor for wood it doesn't end well. :D

    You gotta realize who you're dealing with there! :loco: :crazy:

    Without meaning to sound too smug, I am super lucky, it's true :)

    As for my mind out the gutter comment, it's only 'cos that's where mine resides most the time...

    The little guys love to help, my oldest keeps asking me to sharpen the chain on his toy saw so he can help with the cuttin' :)

    I view it differently...I refuse to let 99lbs help out with the wood. It's too rough on her even though she wants to.

    But she is great at running the splitter handle!!
