I don't even offer to stack, but like I said if there was someone who really needed I would do it for free rather than charge to do it for someone who can do a little work themselves. Just last night a guy who I'm delivering $1,200 worth of wood to on Friday was hinting around about stacking; I...

Yes. We'd help stack if the person really needed but in general we just empty out the truck or trailer and go.

Not much for softwoods usually but a buddy runs a tree service company and gave me a couple cords of pine today. I'll split it fairly soon; it will dry quickly and I'll make a few bucks!

Woke up yesterday having done three deliveries the day before - told my wife "No deliveries scheduled; gonna get the rest of the birch we have here at the house split and stacked today; be a nice, easy Saturday!" Waited until a respectable hour (9am) so as not to rouse the neighbours & fired up...

Love the 6x6. Loaded up with Manitoba maple; delivering a half-cord tomorrow.

Crazy busy weekend - reffed 10 hockey games and delivered (let's see): 1/4 cord of oak Friday night; 2 separate half-cords of birch plus 12 bags of mixed hardwoods plus 10 bags of oak Saturday; 10 bags of oak in one place and 5 in another on Sunday. Everyone woke up on good Friday & decided it...

Slowly but steadily working my way through 35 cords of white birch. Easy work but takes some time!

Have bucked through maybe 15 or 20 cords now with my MS400 (bought last summer) and like it better each time I use it.

Husky dealer call me to say they have a sale starting April 3rd. They have a brand new 372XP that is going to be $1,200 Canadian ($835 US). It's hard for me to justify it, already having an MS400 and a 392XP - but I really wanna add this saw to the collection either to use or re-sell later. I've...

Proud dad…14 year old & 12 year old went out last night and stacked for 2 hours while I reffed a couple of hockey games. Had split about 2 cords yesterday & they stacked it all - raising good little workers!

Just perfect weather for workin' outside! Been not too far below freezing for the most part.

Had a great late-Feb to mid-March pulling ash out of the forest along the river. Still a bit to split; need a good long day or two. Then 30 cords of birch to get through; then 40 more of oak.

Here's a few pics of the oak I made a deal on. Guy bought some farmland with a few trees and is clearcutting the trees to maximize his acreage. His track-hoe literally uproots the trees and lays them down. Then he hand-trims branches & cuts the logs to 200 inches. Kinda sad to lose trees for...

Nice little half-cord delivery of ash tonight. And made a deal for 40 cords of oak logs today!

Bought a bar & a couple of chains today.
