The wood leprechaun delivered a pile of gold

It was Saint Patrick's day yesterday and I'm guessing the end of the rainbow landed in my front yard. Heard a noise and there was a guy wearing green dumping an entire truckload of wood in the front yard. All red oak. Must have been the luck of the Irish yesterday.

I talked to the owner last year when they were across the street trimming a huge maple. Said he would drop wood sometime. Last week he saw me outside and pulled in. Told me he's gonna be by next week.

Pieces are about 8 feet long and almost all are over 18 inches. Pics are hard to judge. It was nice out yesterday so I did a little cutting. The pile I made is 16 feet long and 3 feet high. That's maybe about 1/3rd of the wood. I'm guessing it will split out to about 2 cords. 036 on the pile of rounds for reference. As well as a 60 inch cant hook and a 65 pound boxer dog.

I don't think I had to give them anything but I had 30 bucks on me so I gave it to them. 30 bucks for 2 cords of oak seems like a good deal to me. It costs them 150 to 200 to dump at the wood dump.

 

That is a beautiful sight to behold.

 

You Must be at the end of the rainbow. Great pot of "gold" red oak there.

 

For sure the luck of the Irish! Never underestimate the power of the Little People. Congratulations!

 

Having good wood delivered to you is certainly a great way to go! Nice to make connections with tree service folks and even better when it works out like this!

Please send said rainbow and leprechaun to my house.. I'll pm my address.

 

I'd trade a cord of my oak for maple at this point. I've fell into a lot of oak this past month and even though I'm working on my 3 year plan it's gonna leave me weak for next year. 3 years from now however it will be great.

Love that red oak. Nice size to move around.

Nice freebie, I can almost smell that from here! My lot is about a half acre square, med December I CS&S about 3 cords of red oak, and it would smell like vomit on the complete opposite corner of the property when I would get out of my car some days.

Nothing sets the mood when youre in the hot tub with the missus at night like the smell of red oak!

 

Got the maple all read for ya ! I'll send you my address.

 

I definitely don't like the smell of fresh cut or split red oak. Some people love it. Then again I like the smell of gasoline and freshly run over skunk

 

I love the smell of red oak! Of course, I also love the smell of burning willow so maybe I'm weird.

 

But it cost me 30 bucks! This is the first time I've paid for wood. Lol

 

You could lumber some of those big logs and get your money back with a profit. Capitalism and Wood seems to go together.

 

Good for you! $30 for all that and fun time with . Sweet.

 

Great score. I'm jealous. I got 2 boxer dogs maybe they can deliver me twice as much for $60? Hahaha.

 

Saaaaawweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

I have forever told myself fresh oak smells like pickles ie. dill weed..... Then I read people saying "cat pee" ECT. Now when I open a jar of pickles I think of cat pee.... Thanks guy's.
