    image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg First post here.
    So my co workers dad had huge oak cut down and need the wood hauled away. So I call my buddy who owns a clam truck and told him I want the wood. Long story short, wood was hauled off, buddy's dad happy,my buddy happy and I'm happy. 2 clam truck loads , the stump was 6 ft across . I started to cut some today,not a good idea with this heat.

    Sweet! Hope you got your buddy something very nice. Maybe even some nice cold beer would do in this hot weather. The oak will be great in a couple years.

    Welcome, and what a way to start off, Fespo :thumbs:

    That's some huge Oak!
    :drool: ovah here!
    For getting it delivered and stacked, you also get a nice "You Suck" too :rofl: :lol::thumbs::salute:
    Which, of course, is meant in the friendliest way, sir:D
    We're glad you're here, and can't wait to see what else you've got going on.:)

    I wish we could bow hunt on the property. The wood is at my dads place. He has 3, 1 acres lots with house around him and HUGE big fancy Homes behind him.Where Those fancy homes are now, was the farm as a kid. the farmer would let us ice skate. snowmobile,hunt rabbits & birds. At the time we would see a deer every one in a while. Now with the new homes, deer all allover my dads place. They eat up the garden like crazy
