Picked up 2 loads of Ash today that a tree service made available. Six trees total are being dropped, one more Ash and a Walnut tomorrow. Allot of free wood around this summer, to bad its been so hot and humid! This is my 6th load so far. Going pass on the wood tomorrow and do some splitting.
Great score there 74buc , I know it's tough getting wood in this heat and humidity, but we gotta get it while the gettings good. I spent my day canning pickles, a hot day in the kitchen as well.
What they said, Haul all you can, it's not always this easy to get. I've got about 15 cord to split & I don't care, it's here & it's all mine.
I'm also taking a liking to Ash as well. A pile of Sugar Maple was there but I went for the Ash. I've scrounged around 3 cords of oak between the year and last so I was looking for a quick seasoning wood.
Gotta love ash! As NH Mountain Man said, get it while the gettin's good. I gotta start repeating that to myself as my scrounging has gotten lazy lately mostly due to being stocked up. Well you're only stocked up until you start burning it all! Anyway nice score and thanks for the little reminder that I need to get myself back in gear.
Beautiful scrounge! I know it can be tough in this heat and humidity but if you don't have your own woodlot to cut on this is a great way to get the wood. I always think back to the farming days. It used to be more difficult putting up hay than it is today because in the 1950's they came out with hay conditioners that cut the drying time really great. But still, the hay has to be dry before baling it and you don't have much choice as to when that is done. So you need dry and sunny conditions and also the hay has to be cut when it is ready to cut, not necessarily when you want to do it. And because you need dry hay and sunny conditions, hence, the old saying, "You have to make hay when the sun shines." No choice there. Sometimes other things, like firewood can fall into the same category. It may not be exactly when you want the wood but get it when it is ready. Make hay when the sun shines,
