    Soon to be wife helped..

    I loaded the first trailer load yesterday.
    We delivered it today, went back for the 2nd cord.

    Found out, trailer holds 3.5 ricks when tossed in, and it was fulllll.

    Guy says ive always brought him the best wood he's ever had delivered within the
    14 years they have lived at that property.
    That is awesome to hear!


    This would be my 4th year supplying him with his winter heat.

    It is always nice to get good feedback on your hard work. You must be doing it right.

    You have to unload that all by hand? Doesn't look like a dump trailer.

    interesting trailer, looks stout
    good wood = good heat, some appreciate it

    good luck with the soon-to-be

    tossing splits was how I messed up my left elbow , golf and tennis elbow at the same time. I probably shouldn't have been tossing heavy oak to the side and up and should have quit when it started to hurt.

    Nice having a soon to be wife! Have you set a date?

    Also that is one of the very best things to hear from a customer that you are giving the best. One can build a business like that!

    Loaded by hand, unloaded by hand.
    Good exercise.


    Takes about 25ish minutes with 2 people to unload a cord by hand.

    Congratulations! Looks like she didn't even break a sweat after helping you unload that pile - she's a keeper!
