Looking for a firewood cutting buddy(s) in/around my area.....to share the burden and just to have another person in the woods with me. Currently, the people I have helping do not burn wood.....and I don't have anything to give/help in return. I don't like cutting alone! For one....it's not safe (like cutting wood is safe).... for another.....it's just not as much fun. I would be nice to find a couple of guys.....
I'm sorry if this isn't the correct spot in the forum to put this....(I figured it's better than the chainsaw forum!) I'm not hiring.....If I could pay someone.....I would just fill my propane tank!
I have a wood source.....I have saws (see sig).....I have a truck and trailer to haul....I have splitters (both currently need fixing :bang: :bang: :bang....I had a strong back...I have a weak mind (joke....I think).
I'm thinking that we would just kinda share hours......work on your wood for X number of hours......another day on mine........not keeping track on paper....(I guess we could...).....Just make sure the other has wood. Also....I'm sure I could learn a few things working with someone else. I'm told one is never too old to learn.....(I'll have to test that one! :hmm3grin2orange
Even you guys who have saws and don't burn.......if you're looking for some time to use them......(I'm not sure what I could give you in return..) I do have a chain grinder..... I do have a car hoist in my garage which I would share.....I have a mill and a lathe.....we could make/mod a few things..... (sorry....garage isn't heated....OH I wish) I've changed engines .....trannies.... done brakes .....clutches......body work isn't one of the things I do very well (IMO).........I also have a fair amount of wood working tools....
I really don't want this to turn out to anyone owning anyone......just keep things.......well not lopsided..... not one person getting used.
I thought about putting this on craigslist.....but I'll try here first..... Any one else at the same place....where you thought you had enough wood and you ran out?!? How much longer are we going to need to burn this season?
Please don't Poo Poo on me and this thread........I really don't need those type of posts right now.... I'm not asking for anything free! I just would like some like minded help and company.
I'm heading out to cut after I finish this......It's snowing and if we get too much....I'll loose my wood supply! Not suppose to get that much....but they've been wrong before!
*****EDIT**** Just to point out... my truck is an old 85 Dodge 1ton. Low gears (4 speed manual trannie) and a very worn front end and a VERY hungry 360 under the hood! It's not a road trip truck. It started it's life as a plow truck from the factory... (Sno-Commander) and was owned by a local company. I can only imagine the work that thing has been put through! Trailer is the back half of a 1/2 ton Dodge pickup. Not the typical wood service transportation here! I try to keep them around the area...
