Tree hugger friend is doing a side job 3 miles from my house. He is taking down a huge hickory. He estimates 4 pickup trucks full of Bitternut Hickory. Says his dad will take one truck load and I can have the rest.
His Davey Tree co-worker who is helping on the job say it might be closer to 3 truck loads total. But mentioned the dad is notorious for being a no show. So it looks like 2-4 truck loads of hickory. Wood is green but I don't need it for a couple years.
The best part is he will supply the wood and the beers afterwords. He is just pleased I will make the wood disappear. He burns but has no where to store it for a year.
His one request is for me to bring my Dolmar 7900 for his coworker to try. They are both Stihl guys. My friend tried my 7900 on some cherry this summer and now is a believer.
I offered to bring my saw and buck all the wood my self into firewood length. Actually I am looking forward to watching these two climbers work. My friend is a hell of a climber but has admitted the younger, fitter coworker climbs circles around his aging plump midsection. On this job the youngster is doing the ground work and I am sure much smack will be heard. The youngin told me to just stay out of the way and load the truck.
Should be a fun Saturday afternoon. Forgot to mention his clients are friends of mine from the local VFW.
