[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 351257, member: 642"] About 10-15 years ago while still living on the farm, We had a bunch of big trees like cottonwood but a different type that were dead. Anyway they were huge and tall and I cut them down and hauled them out of the grove and piled them in a huge pile. Told people if you want firewood I will grab the bobcat and grab 1/2 of a tree and hold it over your trailer while you cut it into the lengths you want. Didn't get any takers but had one person that said he would take the whole pile IF I would cut it to length and split it for him AND haul it to his place and pile it. I said WTF do I look like? Do I look that stupid or what? Told him it was going to get burned in a couple weeks if someone didn't take it. Ended up burning the whole pile, had to be 30' wide, 150' long, and at least 20' high. What a waste of good heating material. Needless to say that guy was pissed at me for not cutting it and delivering it to him. Oh well, I didn't lose any sleep over the ordeal. When I burned wood for heating, I would have done whatever if a person would have offered to hold the tree over my trailer while I cut it to length. Times are changing and not for the better either.
