    I'm still trying to figure out how I can make an appearance, but I doubt it'll happen.
    So, your trailer is a rust bucket too? :rofl: :lol::picard:

    Yeah the trailer is getting that way it's about 25 years old, not as pretty as it once was and one winter, I hauled a bunch of wood and didn't clean the salt off, it's still solid and capable though.

    "I stand corrected"!
    That's what I get for not reading the whole thread.

    Got that small bit of Oak and Maple split today, set 2 of 4 posts, and stacked some of the wood. IMG_20160423_143225_173.jpg

    Good job
    Great looking stacks (as usual ! )
    The ramp tail gate makes for a "user friendly" 3500 lb wood hauler !
    How much you gonna have delivered this time ?

    Maybe a cord of rounds this time.
    I'm still waiting to find out how much the septic is going to cost before I make any decision on that. I hope to know next week.
    I've been helping my son downstate the last month a few days each week, so wood processing time has been limited.
    Unfortunately, this trailer is only rated at 2000#.

    Nah. Son had an issue with HD and his kitchen remod, so my brother and I are redoing and finishing for him.
    He's a new homeowner, and knows not, how to use tools.:picard:

    Isn't there a ban on moving ash in Michigan? There is here.

    Yeah, I think so....I think Dennis was just trying to entice me to show up.
    I see lots of Ash dead and dying along M-32 going out to Alpena. Sad.
