Our ash trees are dying because of a wood boring green beetle. I had one land on my arm while mowing on the tractor. It was written up in the news paper we’re losing our ash trees in the northeast.
When I started scrounging firewood to have a fire on Saturday night and if the power went out I could heat the home. Then everyone started offering me wood or a place to cut. I started selling the surplus wood then a tree cutter was born.
Using the temperature gauges on the stove and stovepipe I’m down to 2 1/2 cords of wood all winter. I started burning wood as a back up to losing power. We were snowed in for three days what if we lost power. I had three little kids.
