    Pulled logs are silver and sugar maple, black birch, sassafras and hickory. Sleepers are white oak I think. Easy cut today. Should get it all split too. I couldn't reach the top and wasn't about to climb up there. I could've tried to be king of the mountain, but not king of the ER! :rofl: :lol: :pain: Yes I'm loving the less time factor. Chasing around scores is fun, but can really wear on me.

    The other place fizzled out. I've contacted him a few times but he is having chronic labor problems with running the splitter. Plenty of rounds on hand that need to get split.

    I have in the past offered to work part time for him and did extend a hand asking what I can do in return. I'm thinking he's just glad to have the wood gone. If you saw his burn pile yesterday you would've :faint:
    Envision half of what we cut on Pond Hill burning as full logs.

    No. He's a half hour the other way. That fizzled out as he cant find help to split logs.

    Yes. I was glad just have the source for rounds. Very easy going guy and I'm sure he'd let me do that. It will be easier (I think) to sort wood moving rounds. Gonna try to load and split off the truck when I can. Once he has an area for me it will evolve into an easier way.

    Wow! Just an awesome set up. You deserve it after all the hustling you have done over the years. Saves you money but more imprtantly time.

    Good for you, that is a sweet set up. However, I have some questions. I saw in another recent post, someone said you don't burn/heat with firewood, which I just assumed you did as you ae so knowledgeable about the process, different woods, etc. Questions are:
    1. Is this true?
    2. If so, why?
    3. Am I the only one in FHC that did not know this?
    :D:D
