Well another Firewood Bashing thread.....oh wellllllllllll. Poor, poor victim.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot---what's this RULE about firewood length ? 16" ? Where is it written ?
otstir:
And, since when does the whine imply the lack of
caveat emptor and
personal responsibility ?
Let's get to the real "Rule" :
BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SEPARATE.
Anecdote. I couldn't harvest our firewood last year. A trailer of log lengths ( 24' ) was ordered from someone I 'knew' who logs, promising me mixed hardwoods--oaks, hard maple, 'some' soft maple, white ash. The load was all soft/red maple. He took 20% off the bill without any anger, ill will, rancor since the load came from his sub contractor.
Lecture over, I am dismissed.
P.S. Measuring firewood--take a thick magic marker and tape measure. From the tip of the bar measure 12", 16", 18", what ever, then draw a solid line on the saw or bar on all sides. Then use that line to accurately cut on the fallen timber. Simple. Reliable. Fast. Easy. We usually cut from the top down to the trunk.
