Adam, It would be very helpful for me to have a 2nd person like you have, but I am SOLO.. and 14" wow.. I do stuff bigger than that by hand ... as some customers like a larger piece of wood .. so they are not constantly putting more wood on the fire.

Pat, Not sure about $50.. but as it takes $20 to fill 2 small gas cans now a days ( 6.5 galls).. never thought it would be that much. so hope I am not showing my age.. as I remember in the last 15 years only paying .68 cents a gallon.but I know it was lower before that... . . and the truck...

No.. he is a tree company/ dumpster guy.. so he gives it to me.. He gets it from his customers houses .so no way to work on site with it. Stuff that big.. 40"+ I can cut to a size and get it manageable .. but takes a little time.. I just don't care for it as much.. 5 times the amount of...

Well I get the wood brought in by a very very local guy.. brings in 15- 30 yard dumpsters full when I can fit it... so getting to wood is not an issue.. and it being on his fuel.. its nice.. I also do some tree jobs so I charge the customer taking it out.. and then resell it... Limited on...

I was sharpening my blades yesterday and thinking.. I know it was dangerous for me to do two things at once... but I did anyway... lol But what is the effect if I change the angle on a blade from say 25 degrees to 30 or 35 degree's? Or vise versa.. although a bit harder to do... Will it...

Sorry I did not get any emails of follow up post .. so I did not pay attention to my post.. I charge $80 per hour with a min of 4 hours for just splitting on site with their wood that has already been cut down. If the pile that is there takes me 6 hours then its $480. On days when the fill...

Well I can say that I have had my truck on the scales picking up some stone dust for a customer. The truck weighed in at just over 10,000 and its a Chevy 2500 with a 8600 gvw... so yes it's easy to over load a truck... Now as far as volume of a cord.. let me ask this question a different...

Dean, I am getting truck loads from more than one person.. one guy , also a neighbor for over a decade, is in the tree business & also the carting biz.. so I can getting it from either jobs.. his tree work obviously self explanatory and many customers get a container for tree he or someone...

I just walked into a local gas station and did a sales call for landscape services.... however while talking to them we talked about firewood. My question is does anyone know of information on where to get the plastic wrap and handle for the fire bundles? They sell 60 or 70 maybe weekly thru...

Well here is my little pile.. the last 5 loads or so.. dropped off by either a 6 Wheel container truck or Tri-axle. I got lucky and get the wood for free.. not even sure how much any more.. and some of the wood is too much to move or barely cut with anything less than a 3 foot bar... This...
