    A friend called a couple weeks ago, wanted to know if we wanted some logs. He's helping a guy build a nice campground just down the road from where we did the Plantation job. They are clearing about 9 acres.
    We got by there yesterday to see what he had ready... 20231101_085139.jpg 20231101_085201.jpg
    It's mostly oak, with some small sweet gum.
    He's sorting and loading it for us... 20231101_090452.jpg
    We had to cut in half, as they were almost 20' long...
    1st load 20231101_100404.jpg
    2nd load... 20231101_112230.jpg
    3rd load before lunch... 20231101_123604.jpg
    They have a huge burn pile, pine and gum logs, saw some oak in it too... 20231101_123610.jpg
    Part of what has been cleared... 20231101_123636.jpg
    They have big plans for the area. Will have a small store, swimming pool and they are putting in a Lazy River type water float.

    Nice hauls!

    Will you be getting more as trees get felled?

    I'm guessing you're making the gum the priority for grabbing to refill your emptying stacks. Beautiful find and great friend.

    Whole lotta easy to handle wood there. I have never once had anything like this happen. Closest I've gotten is "Hey I gotta bunch of trees I need cut down, you can have the wood." :sherlock:

    I think it's karma. The way Jeff lives and helping others is coming back to him.
