    We use self tapping screws and fasten tops to metal frames on those.
    Our regular totes, we use a long deck screws into the wood.
    We pick to empty totes up from the deer camps.

    We delivered a cord of firepit wood to the other deer camp we serve thos morning. It's a couple miles from home, so Miz Carol drove the tractor over there... 20251018_092708.jpg
    And placed them in a row... 20251018_100003.jpg
    We loaded the tractor on the trailer for the return trip...

    I got a guy coming next week with a double axle dump trailer. He didn’t tell me how much oak he wants but he’s bringing ca$h.
    First time customer he found the listing my wife made on FBook,,

    Do you have your wood stacked or are you stacking in his trailer? It could hold a lot of wood.

    All my dry for sale wood is stacked in my shed in face cord rows. I have no idea how big his trailer is or even how much he is buying.
    We will make the decision to stack or toss loosely in his trailer when the cash hits my hand.

    This restaurant wants seasoned wood.
    The other one said it didn't matter, but we're going to get them seasoned also.
