1 Maple, 8 oaks. Have a little for 2021-22 started and could get a bunch of maple and other woods next spring to season for it. I want these down and done though, and I'm sure he wants them gone quickly too. I just like the look of tons of split and stacked firewood when I look out the back porch lol
Get it gone and back to your place sooner rather than later. You’ll have time to split and stack at you leisure. What is time sensitive is establishing that when someone has wood they want gone, you take it off their hands quickly. That reputation will lead to more wood coming your way in the future
Welcome from western-er western MA. Sounds like the perfect score - close to home, and helping a neighbor!
Ah the hills of western mass. We are only at about 650-700', wish it was 4-digits. Pretty amazing how there are micro-climates here. So many times last year we would grab a dusting of snow or A LOT more snow than lower areas in Hippy Valley. Kind of cool the hills can get inverted fog while the valley gets frost. We are ~10 miles from Amherst but they had several frosts before we had our first 2-weeks later.
Pretty amazing what a little elevation does, isn't it? I commuted to Chicopee for work a couple years, and it was always a gas to leave home with a snowstorm, and get to work to find torrential downpours.. Always 10 degrees or more warmer in the valley! (Hippie Valley! Lol) Sometimes as you mentioned it goes backwards, though - we have ducked a couple nor'easter swipes here that brutalized the coast..
Im with Brenndy on this one. Ask them not to even try to buck to length. My neighbor is a tree guy and the one load he dropped off at my place was cut anywhere between 12 and 30 inches.
Yup! I've had to take pictures as have other co-workers and send them to supervisors. UMass doesn't shut down and gets 2" of slop, meanwhile 10 miles east or west get 8-10". Pretty amazing.
First off, UMass Hockey > UNH Second, damm...I'm looking at close to 3 cord by that math and suck at guessing it appears. Lesson learned about diameter vs. height. Hope the x27 has more life left in it.
I think anything that i would add has already been said...however...i love to go quabbin at the chesapeake bay....
Again i dont know how accurate the chart is. If they figured the actual volume of the tree this would make a cord a solid block of wood. I forget what the wood/air ratio average is and depends on how tight its stacked. The Fiskars will endure. I beat the H@#L out of mine and broke it in March. Needless to say im a bit rough on my equipment. Filed warranty claim and got a brand new one.
