Wood fairy

[Zeus103363]

I'm hijacking my thread back - got that wood noodled up into pieces the kids can handle. Now it's up to them and the Super Split to get it into firewood.

Thanks

Have a friend who uses them for their pigs. I'll have to see if they want another load.

I ran into one like that. Near home, guy removing a long row of black locust. Wouldn't budge, piled and burned.

Huge update for me! Finally talked to the actual owner. It's a local lawyer, and I went to highschool with him! He asked me to sign a hold harmless paper (guess if I get hurt its not his fault) and I pay $35 bucks for processing through his office and BAM! I officially have permission to cut what ever I want to! He said he had bought the land and hired a "third party" (who wouldn't let me cut) to oversee and manage the timber. It's getting replanted next year in southern yellow pine so I have a new spot to cut!


Thanks

AWESOME WAY 2 GO!

I ran into another really nice patch that was being piled and burned also. It was too far away for me though. Makes one want to puke.

Hand your kids a couple gallons of glue and have them remake them into firewood. Should keep them busy awhile.

On second thought, forget that. Kids/glue/noodles?....not a good combination.

Heck, I would keep a bucket full on the patio. After its dry, just throw a hand full in the fireplace while your burning.

Tell me no more...speak not on this wise Harry...psychologically I can't handle it!!...perfectly good locust going up in "non-redeemable smoke!"
TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!
This beckons for the highly controversial clandestine maneuver known as "Midnight Skidding!"

I'd probably end up missing a kid or two and have a surprisingly large presto-log in the pile.


Anyway, my friend slaughtered their pigs the day I asked them. Guess I'm stuck with some noodles for a bit. I can always take them to my local yard-waste dump that the town provides.

Anyone running chickens will appreciate them for bedding or nest box. I had to convince my neighbor of that until she tried it. I can't keep her supplied now.

Some people like them for animal (including dog) bedding but I suspect the would get tangled in any long haired animal.

Anybody around who gardens? They will till in nicely.

My father-in-law now wants it for his compost bins. This summer we built some very large bins, filled them with manure and noodles. I guess he's got some room for more.

Throw 'em in a Rubbermaid bin or the like, keep it inside (dry) they make excellent fire starter!
