bigmac could you run us through your business

For example

how do you get your wood? do you have a tree company or do you just get it dropped off? Do you have a firewood processor or how do you cut and split wood

etc etc

thanks alot

Craig

wismer go to page one and you will see what have,
i had a tree service for abot 26 years, 5 years ago i got out of it
and sold all my equipment,

it takes abot 20-25 different tree service's dumping wood here to have
this much each year, we have been selling wood here for over 40 years,
for years we would buy the wood from the tree guys, abot 10 years ago
there was so many guys comming with wood, i would tell them im full and
not buying anymore, they would say free, ok free made some room to
dump some free loads but they still came so told them you cant dump,
the only way i will take it now is if they would unload there truck by hand
and throu on top of the pile, so they would and that worked for a bit then
they came with wood to big to unload by hand and put on top, so i told them
cant take it, i dont have room and they said they would pay me if i would
take there wood, so from then on i charge them to dump it off here,
i still fill up here each year, and have to turn some away for a few months,

here's a few more pic's from the past,:cheers:

WOW!

Have you ever had a *gulp* fire? I would imagine it would take quite a bit to put one down if it ever got going.

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing. Got any more?:biggrinbounce2:

Firewood Ready for Splitting

Here are some recent pictures of firewood which has been cut and is now ready to be split. I have about 10 cords to split. Beech logs in picture are 20 to 22 inches in diameter.

in the first pic

what specie of wood it that?

you had any customers ask "how many sticks in a cord"????;)

the wood in the first pic, is Eucalyptus

yes there has been a few to ask how many piece's in a cord,
i just tell them it depends on what size each piece is, if there
all small you will get more pieces the if they are larger pieces there
will be less pieces that works for most of them,

What size are your bins, (lenghts widths hights ) im thinking about selling mine like that too. Most of my wood is split small for the yuppies any way.I like the bins seems like you dont have to keep up with any thing just pile it in there , WAY COOL ! :D

pacman the bins are 2 ft x 2 ft x 1 ft
for the short wood 12 to 17 inch long

the bins for the wood 18 to 24 inch long
are 2 ft x 2 ft x 15 inch

they all have casters on them to move them
2 bins togather seem to work the best for us

here some more pictures of them
pictures 1+2 are the 12-17 inch size bin

pictures 3-4-5 are the 18-24 inch bins
