    I found a listing on facebook for ash. Sent a message and they told me to come over. Most of it was pre-cut and I drove right up to it. About a cord. We loaded up the trailer and they told us there was more behind the garage. It looks like oak and maple, and they said we could cut a few orhers if we wanted to. We ran over the scale on the way home, just to see what we weighed and to get a better feel for what we are putting on the trailer. 11,080 lbs with the van and loaded trailer.

    11,080
    -5,000 for van
    -1,400 for trailer
    =4,680 of wood

    We built the trailer to be strong and light. It will easily carry 5,500 lbs.

    Too hot and humid to unload today. Supposed to be hotter tomorrow, so I might try to get some unloaded tonight if it cools down enough. Going to try fishing tomorrow and see if it’s too hot on the lake.
