OK here's the deal.. The wife's family has an old farm house about an hour away with 100 acres. the front 20 has never been cut and has enough wood on it for 10 years the back 80 had 1/2 selectively cut about 30 years ago, so really there enough wood out there to last a life time. The wife’s dad has given my the thumbs up to cut whatever I want so really I never have to but wood again, I just have to go get it.
My issues are it’s at least an hour away most on so-so secondary roads – I don’t have a truck right now and well look at the pictures.
There’s abit of a hill where they good wood is, it’s steeper then it looks in the photo’s.
I just can’t see away of economically cutting 6-8 cord a year and getting it home for less then I pay now. I love the idea of going and cutting my own wood but I don’t want my expense to double just to do it.
Anyone have any thoughts?
