    Heheh, that last pic is right on! You went through that heap of trees pretty darn fast - good job... The effort deserves a nap. But couldn't ya find him a more comfortable place to rest? LOL.

    Did you talk to the tree service and see if they can bring you wood in the future?

    this guy has a crane and a chipper, he calls another guy with a grapple truck to pick up his logs , i have gotten wood from him several times but i have to pick it up, this was 3 blocks from home so it was manageable ,but i do have a tree guy who drops of wood , but im really full right now i dont have room for this load we estimated there is 17 -19 cords here now , so it will be stacked as i start burning this year , ill get some pictures of what people call the wood maze out back.
