The Car Hoarding thread

I've got one whole section of yard decor. All stacked up near the OWB!

 

It was a good day at the dump. Storm damage was arriving, and the loader & dump truck were hauling away all the Christmas trees. And uncovering treasures as they worked. Cherry, oak, and maple.

 

Highway birch treasure. I have even trained my 4 year old to be on the lookout for a scrounge. She spotted this one. This is the first of many loads to come.

 

Good girl! Helps to have a spotter, you're training her well!

 

Load one of the day. Not sure the weather, or my back will allow a second load.

 

That's the good stuff!

 

Lol yep! There were some smaller branches like on the left, but those can wait until after the melt..mif they're still there. Nothing big left of this tree but the uglys

 

Great job getting it before the snow. That Bronco looks pretty close to the pavement.

 

Thanks, I think my sciatic nerve will let me grab one more load. It' already displeased though. Just waiting for mama to run an errand then I'm gonna head back out.

It actually takes loads like a champ. I put one ton suspension in it. It's just sitting half on the shoulder in the pic

 

I figured there would be some pre-snow goodies... took the oak, left the pine & cherry.

 

Load number 2, then the perspective of todays two plus the load from Saturday.

 

Oh that's very nice indeed!

 

I had to leave the notched stump cut. The only way I was able to get the biggest rounds up was to pick them up awkwardly, then set them on the next one to reposition it to carry up the embankment. I ran out of pieces to put it on, and they were just getting stupid heavy for my back. So no mas

 

Live in that area.. Next time in area PM me ill buy you a coffee... Now what road was that wood on!!!

 

Hope you didn't do too much damage! Up an embankment sounds like hell.

 

So does my litile sister....shhhh don't let her know i was up!

The wood was somewhere between Milton VT and 89. I think I go on somewhere around exit 14 or 15.

 

It wasn't much fun for sure. The first tree was 3' off the road. The second one I had to work for.

I'll have to do some more scouting around the area and find where else they've been. There's a few more maples about 100 yards down from the first one, but they are up an embankment. Another that's not gonna be fun.

There was an Asplundh truck parked on a side street, didn't see any others around, and it was a street with underground wires, so they wernt down there!

 

Got a semi good load of red oak this morning. I left about the same amount behind to get once the snow melts.

 

I've started just keeping my new Isocore in the trunk for the big rounds. Roadside splitting and then in they go.

 

I normally bring it with me, but forgot it that day.
