Economics of paying for wood

[jrider]

must be a good kid to work like that for a franklin and not leave before noon ! most kids I offer jobs to want paid in advance and tell you they will be there next week when the job offer is for today or the next...... I start at 10.00 an hour and with good workers usually end up paying 15.00 for hard workers! on time dressed for the work conditions with lunch in hand! most show up in sandals or flip flops and cut offs to work in the woods, many times had adults not differently dressed.... lol

What's the problem with cutoffs?

Plenty of times and my legs get cut to hell but I'd much rather deal with that pain than sweat anymore than I have to. Unless I have a wedding or funeral to attend, pants don't touch my legs in the summer.
Poison ivy, well I get that so bad it doesn't matter much what I wear. That stuff is the devil to me. Have woken up with an eye swelled shut the morning after exposure.

Last summer I cut with chaps over shorts. I cannot wear denim in warm weather.

Now that I have Carhartt bibs I should wear those with no shirt like the farmers do

Everyone knows you don't wear flip flops in the woods. That's what Crocs are for.

to each their own I guess? I will go for denim over forest rash any day don't matter how hot it is !

Again I'm lucky to not have PI up here but the skin in my legs is pretty tough by August after traipsing through the woods in shorts for a few months.

I don't wear denim as I'd sweat like a sieve, but I wouldn't wear shorts working around my area either (brambles, poison ivy, thick brush, mosquitos, etc). Instead I wear loose hiker's pants which have elastic cinch strings around the cuffs that can be tightened or loosened, which makes them easy to pull up to my knees to act as quick shorts. Also, the bottom parts of these type of pants zip out at the knee, turning them into actual shorts (though it'll take a minute to fiddle with the zippers). However if I want the protection of the pants but I start to get hot, I sometimes open the zippers halfway around the back of the knee, allowing them to act like air vents.

Is that the only wood available? Do you have a market for it?
I have never messed with aspin, but sounds like it may be worth it.

I have a friend who uses lots of it in his fire pit and I'll also burn it in my boiler during times when I'm home.

We burn anything we can get, except digger pine. $30 delivered? No brainer. Gas is $2.47 per gallon right now, truck gets 12mpg loaded right now. Math makes sense.
