    image.jpg My buddy let me use his dump trailer this weekend so out I go to my new CL scrounge spot. I think I set a personal 2 day record for CSS.

    2 separate loads in pics.

    A dump trailer sure is nice. Wish I had one. I use my buddies 12 x6 regular trailer with 2 foot sides. He has a dumper, but is always using it. I am dreadful he lets me hold on to the regular one. By the way, is that some Black locust in that load?

    You have a big driveway! Can you get all that stacked before you get snow?

    The only bad thing about a dump trailer is that then you have to bend over to pick up all that wood again. If you can put trailer or truck next to the wood pile and stack right off the truck it will do much to save that back.

    Open the back doors, reach in & unload what you can reach, then tilt her up till it slides back, takes a little practice, but once you know about where to stop, wood's at thigh height. I've even closed the doors on mine & let the front 1/2 of the load slide against the doors.
