    Pretty impressive. Those pieces aren't small and the pile is twice as tall as he is.

    How much is that Ranger rated to hold in the bed?

    Hope you strapped that load down before you moved it! Good for the grandson. How did he manage to pile it up so high? He looks really pleased with his work. I would be very grateful.

    He's very good at stacking wood,lol, you should see how he does it in a 3/4 ton pickup, he would put a lot of people to shame, lol. I'm not sure what the ranger's rated at, one good thing, its old growth fir. Nice stuff.

    He's a really good kid,and not the least afraid of really hard work. He enjoys it. Its not my ranger, and i don't know if they strapped it down or not.

    Oh he has the attitude. Like the big smile. He did a great job. Hopefully none spills when it gets moved.

    He's sharp witted too, every now and then he has to be put in his place,ha,ha, he's a good kid, he can dish it out, but,some times gets his feelings hurt, but, its all in growing up. I have a lot of fun with him. Yup, big smile, a little on the ''confident'' side,lol Wants to be a log truck driver.

    Gotta love a hard working kid especially these days. Love to see him outside doing something productive instead of sitting inside on an electronic

    He's always got a ''project'' of some kind going, that brain of his is always at work. He's not too keen on mowing the yard, but, loves to shoot, ride his ''quad'' and go fishing. But, with a little prodding from me, and his mom, he'll mow the yard. Your right Rich, there's nothing like grand kids. And, we've got some good one's.

    Are you close enough to traffic that he can start to sell some of "his" wood. If so help set up a rack, teach him to run the splitter, get him a cart for behind his cart and let him go to town.

    The DOT is going to be waiting with scales for him when he loads up lol.

    Very nice to see younger kids still putting in hard work.

    We are, but, in this area, lots of people cut their own wood, have kids that help them, so, its kind of tough to get into the wood selling business around here. He can run a splitter and loves doing it. thanks for the idea's though
