    Good craigslist find this morning. Ash, victim of the EAB, taken down yesterday. Two van loads for a nice result. A lot more there if anyone is in the Baltimore area. Shoot me a message and I will share the location.

    Christmas time at the dump, oak and pine. The guys with the truck have 3 more loads to bring. Get that Bronco rolling, Mwalsh9152! IMG_20180530_8424.jpg IMG_20180530_17442.jpg

    They have a truck and wood. You have a need. Ask them to deliver to your place. Christmas in May!

    Don't want the pine diluting the oak.

    Two loads so far. The truck is bringing it faster than I can take it. Got time for one more trip before the dump closes at 4. IMG_20180530_21924.jpg

    This is what's left... IMG_20180530_11349.jpg IMG_20180530_47942.jpg
    You can't tell I've even taken any. Nice thing, I can pick the straight rounds that give 4 splits each.

    Looks like it's even cut to length. Time for a tall glass of ice water.

    Going back in the morning?

    I'm done, and there's still plenty left. I made three more trips today, and I could tell they were still bringing more. They said their boss cut a bunch of trees on his property 3 years ago, and just left it lying there, all cut up. Now he wants it gone. It sat in some wet, I can tell, because the bark is rotting off. No ants and very few grubs. Final pile, probably a cord once split. IMG_20180531_25416.jpg

    " I'm done, and there's still plenty left. "

    I don't understand what that means.

    Explain, please?

    OMG, I don't want to look at another piece of oak! Tomorrow I'm going to Cambridge to pretend I'm a city girl.

    Good work! Sit back with a cold drink and admire your hard work.

    Hoard on!

    I had to search for this thread! No major wood scores at the dump lately, but I've found some other useful stuff. A couple plastic pallets and a milk crate that says WAWA... IMG_20180622_444.jpg
    And a no-rust galvanized can with lid for my splitting scraps. IMG_20180622_12424.jpg
    Doesn't take much to make me happy!

    Looks good!! and keep at it. You can never have to much oak. Last week St. Louis 105°F including heat index. Not much scrounging for me right now.
