lol...
No VA. I'm guessing northern virginia??
Who cares if its one or a thousand cords? Hell if its free, the man has a good heart. Give him credit for that.
100 rounds?
the mud can't be that bad !!!!
afterall, someone took 98 1/2 cords since yesterday and did'nt even leave a mark in the mud !!!!!!!!!
He must be thinking a cord is the 1'x1'x16" bundles they sell wood in at the grocery store??

I would almost bet that the neighbors are complaining and/or the HOA is telling him he has to get rid of it, notice the brush pile in back of the wood. If a tree company was to haul that away when they cut it they would have charged him $500 or $600. It is like Blueridge says, the guy is trying to save a buck, not there is anything wrong with that.
...no one I know will burn the tulip poplar inside the house.
No VA. I'm guessing northern virginia??
Well, I'm one. Burned it for the first time last year, and I was actually somewhat pleased. I'd like to get a bit more and give it a more thorough test.

I am finally getting through my last pieces of Poplar for the year... I sectioned up a tree that had fallen for a farmer I hunt off of last year to help him get ready to plant. He told me I didn't want it. I told him it would be ok and that I'd mix it in here and there. With all the rain we've had - it was nearly rotten in a few months. It doesn't throw much heat either - not like the white oak I've gotten accustomed to.
no - Northern
va - Virginia
I lived there for 30 years.
NOVA = congestion, traffic, overcrowding, syrocketing exorbitant taxes, urban blight.
Nice place!
No, nothing wrong with it. He's just trying to get rid of a problem, and doesn't understand the value of the wood, nor the difficulty of getting it out of there. He's not being a bad guy, he's just confused.
Hey, some of you guys ought to rep riderup for making the trip and posting the pics. I would, but I'm out of bullets.
Don't worry Ljute...I'm doing my best to edumacate these fools here in the city...I drove 'Ol Blue to work today, going to look at buying a snowblower close by...lotsa mud, tree bark in the bed. I invite the yuppies here to go to the parking lot so that they can stare in awe at a real redneck pickup!
BTW Mark, did you gaze to the west of you last Saturday?...I'm cutting right by the new power line right of way, about halfway up the side of the mountain...I'm sure you can see it from your side of the valley...I'll wave to you next time I go up!
hee hee! I do the same. It's really fun when I pick up a load of wood on my way in to work. Here I come in my beat up Nissan, loaded to the gills with big oak rounds, and arrive at my yuppieville office for my white collar engineering job in my white collar yuppie uniform. I get some strange looks. :hmm3grin2orange:
Oh, so you got the new powerline in your neighborhood? I'll bet there are some nice pickin's there!
Can't quite make you out over there, though. Guess my eyes aren't quite what they used to be.
