Those are oak rounds, cut by the tree service for the homeowner. They burn wood when the power goes out. They are paying someone to split it for them.
Sick little girl had the daddy's bigtime today. She was sleeping on me most of the afternoon. Tomorrow definitely doesn't look like good cutting weather. Maybe Tuesday morning? Just need to make sure my schedule jives.
Wait.. What?? You should ask them how much they're paying for the splitting. Coulda been free wood right there. Maybe some $$ in the pocket as well. I mean heck, I split wood for free around here.
Sure, give it a try. There will be 2 smaller trunks and the big one left. I continue to take wood out, I'd like to be done by the end of the week.
I had to visit the Jordan's Furniture warehouse on DW a little while ago, so I swung by after. Looks like you had already cleared out last nights work.
Today's effort...cut the butt! First, got the trunk behind it out of the way: Then, the first cut to separate it from the trunk. One cut was a little off... but was easy to fix. The log was hollow and full of rotten wood. It was pretty easy to roll, just took a push. Splitting... Split! Loaded up...
did you say the home owner is paying someone a bunch of money to split the oak rounds...I wonder what they think of you, working your tush off cutting and splitting those logs and the loading them into your SUV...lotta hard work
They have various health problems. What their motivation was for selling me the locust for $150 after paying the tree service $8300, your guess is as good as mine, I think they were just being nice. He agreed after talking to me on the phone, without meeting me.
Lol I've had an absolute hell week so far. Two weeks worth of orders in two days, plus my regular work on top of that. Literally feast or famine I can make it later this week. Maybe cut Thursday afternoon and load Fri am?
That would work fine, and it shouldn't take long, if I split while you cut. I bet we can get you loaded Thurs afternoon, if you have the time. I'll cut & take the twisty trunk today and leave you the two straight ones, that should be enough for a full load.
Ok, let's see how things go. Hopefully they wont go sideways! I have an appointment at 10am in Canton, probably be back up here by two if things go according to plan
Lured by fresh black locust, the shy and elusive Mwalsh9152 ventured out into the open, and I was able to capture the encounter with my camera. We got the job done in about two hours! There's a little bit left for me to take tomorrow. It was fun, and I learned a lot, but I'm glad this job is over.
Sometimes you just have to find the correct bait to lure the reclusive ones out! Probably oak would work too!
