When the wife and I finished, both front baskets were heaped up the same and the rear was level. Its Tuesday now and the front basket is just now becoming level. I figure as I empty one, Ill fill with the one in back and just keep moving the wood up to the heater and refill the ones in back.[/QUOTE]

So you are on gov. Assistance? CRThomas??? And your able bodied enough to make firewood?? Must be a illinois thing....... isn't that the state with the crocked governer, and where we got this great president from? Figured!

man you are tough! now I have heard of "shout outs" but this sounds like a "CALL OUT" ???? WOW!

CRT Thomas is in his 70's. why shouldn't he collect something he's paid into all his life??

 

[MechanicMatt]

Well if he is in his 70's he does desrve what he is entitled to, and I APOLOGIZE. I assumed a guy that makes wood like he does was a younger man. I guess I made a @ss out of my self assuming. If your old enougn to collect Social Security and that the assistance your getting, I truely do apilogize mr Thomas.

I bought the baskets from a bin recycling plant here in town. They rinse them out with steam and return them to use.

What they get for a basket by you? Usually go for $45-50 depending on how many you buy around here

35 cord so far last week

35 cord so far last week

Now that's impressive. I figure a little over 20 cord at my place. I am envious of that TW. Winter weekends is the only time I have to deal with firewood so I can't justify one at the present time. You split more in a week than I sell in a season. I'm gonna guess that you aren't a one or two man show.

 

[tomtrees58]

yup I cut 150 cords a year just me part time other time I am a arborist w a tw you can do 1 cord and hr
