Loaded truck pics.

Hey, finally got some loaded truck pictures...
Load of red oak cut from 1 yr old logs.
This load went to a guy that said he wanted some dry dry wood......
It was stacked in a shed at the shop about 8-10 yrs ago....
Mix of tulip poplar, oak and maple. It will be burned in a fire pit at a rehab place. Pieces are about 24-25" long

 

Hauled another trailer load home today. It was WAY too hot to work, but 3 of us got about a cord dragged out of the woods, cut and loaded on the trailer. My head is still hurting, and I know we should have stayed home.

 

Be careful, my friend

 

A couple of years ago, I experienced what probably should be called an episode.

Was not pleasant and could not function correctly. Sat on edge of truck for about 15-30 minutes which seemed to help then wrapped up the job without finishing it. Called and made an appointment with Dr's office.

They attributed it to being severely de-hydrated; remedied by an IV.

Yeah, slowed down and drink less coffee, way less soda since then.

 

I used to concrete when I was younger. Had no idea what heat stroke was. I was working as hard as I could to provide for my family and got heat stroke almost every day for a month. Not just “I’m hot”, I’m talking about fall down, can’t walk, can’t function, get dragged to the truck and turn on the a/c and dunk your head in a bucket of water. They would literally carry me to the truck and turn on the air. That was it. And I had to finish the day. Every day. It was 100° out and they never mentioned heat stroke or sent us home. We were pouring concrete and working inside steel bins/silos.

I can’t really take heat anymore.

 

You should be thankful that your co-workers took the time to place you in a truck with AC.

Concrete workers building the hoover dam weren't so lucky..........










(Before anyone has a kitten, bodies entombed in hoover dam is just a myth)

 

So its a dam myth?

 

Another mixed load of oak for the retired school teacher:

 

More pictures of the wood shed senor!

 

Roof for my inventory ~ cheapskate style
It's only 90% done (I never finished buying rolled roofing for it, and instead put a large tarp over the bulk of the OSB )

 

I like it! The cedar makes it look just right.

 

A neighbor about 3 blocks away had an oak tree fall down. They already cut the branches off. I went over Saturday, cut the main trunk into 18" pieces loaded the trailer and hauled it home. Oh and their next-door neighbor had a few pieces of oak and maple they asked if I wanted. I cut that up too. Too hot out to split it but I wanted the trailer empty so I stacked it as is on a pallet. I can get nearly unlimited supply of pallets from work. We give them away. If anyone from the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area ever sees this thread and wants pallets just ask me.

 

2 cord delivery

 

Nice load Tom.
Is it bad to burn processed firewood in a stove?

 

Nope, only ultra processed, it’s organic by the way.

 

Does the ultra processed wood stay good longer or is it just marketing hype like with milk?

 

It’s organic it’s xtra special.

 

Fee range is better still!

 

Load of red oak heartwood splits. Stacked in my friends shed.

 

Good looking load of wood, my friend
