    I think I heard there is currently only 2 counties in the U.P. with no ban. I still wonder how they regulate logging trucks?

    Whew!
    In that case, I'll make the comment that I bet he'll know how to use some tools by the time the project is done!

    He works too much. If he's not working, he's at the gym, or out with friends.

    About 33", except the last one....I ran into some clay, which seems weird here. That one is about 30" just because I got tired.:D:picard:

    Well, he was supposed to be here about 5, but texted and said he'd be a little later.
    He showed up just before dark (after letting me know he was on his way), so no pics last night. Just took a couple in the drizzle we're having this morning.
    I'll get a pic of the trailer he brought, but I think it's a 16'X6' or 7'. Double axle that he uses to haul a tractor or something.
    Anyway, it was full of Ash that he says is 1.333 cord. I told him to go ahead and bring another 2.666 cords of Ash, Beech, and Birch.
    Without further ado..........

    Other than the bark falling off most of it, it's real clean. Didn't notice any punk when we were unloading.
    I may get a chance to split some tomorrow, depending on what happens with the septic install. Trailer's empty and ready for some firewood. :thumbs:
