    Welcome Pa. Ben you'll live the site! If you're able to you and your family will have to come to the spring get together in Williamsburg Pa if that's not too far. We had a blast last year! Hope to see you there!

    Their will be plenty of wood to run your saws and good food to eat.

    Pa. Ben As you are finding out, your addiction is perfectly normal to the rest of us. It is even rather wide spread. Check out the 'member' tab at the top of the page and click on the map. You will see this wood and saw addiction is spread all across the country.:saw::axe::stacke::coldfire:

    Hi fellow PA hoarder! This site will definitely help you further your addictions! My hoarding goals have markedly expanded since being here. I want to be at 16 cord before the 17/18 burning season (was merely at 10 before joining... :loco: :crazy:). And I just scored four really nice pallets just today on the drive home from work... just happened to find them unexpectedly. :D

    The other benefit of being here is that now my wife understands, and fully supports, the hoarding mentality. I say that I want 16 cord for next year, and she say "sounds good to me!" Your kids will come along just as well, I'm sure! ;)

    Blacksmith, I was in Hollidaysburg last night picking up a truck for my oldest son, and that just up the road from Williamsburg.
    It's about an hour drive for me so it's not bad. It sounds interesting

    Welcome!
    I know that little town well. My home is in Johnstown but I'm living in Hollidaysburg keeping an eye on my mom in the old homestead.

    Yep, been there many times. One of the more historical areas in central PA in terms of colonial history. George Washington, General Forbes, quite a few big names graced the area during the French and Indian War.......I love local history!

    Hope to see you at our May GTG in Williamsburg, the exact date will be announced soon. Usually the Friday and Saturday before Memorial Day.....
