First time post, been lurkin around for a few years. Had an awesome scrounge today that I thought might be worthy of posting. The construction company I work for is clear cutting an area for a new pole building. I've been best buddies with the owner since we were in diapers and of course he gave me first dibs on the wood lol. It just so happens that 90% of the trees we are cutting down are black locust. This is my first three loads, I have them cut into 6-8' pieces so I could transport them. I have atleast 10 more loads to haul out.
That cutting board is awesome! I've been eyeing up those portable saw mills, I have a handful of black walnut trees I'd like to make into useable lumber.
Another "scrounge". OK, OK, so it was delivered and stacked. Those are all 5-6 feet long so will need to be cut in half. The stuff that was 18-24" is already on the main stacks.
i already have a senior citizen to do my work. ME!!!!!View attachment 426672 Another "scrounge". OK, OK, so it was delivered and stacked. Those are all 5-6 feet long so will need to be cut in half. The stuff that was 18-24" is already on the main stacks.
I now have two of my own personal senior citizens working for me. That's what my buddy at work calls his dad anyway - whenever he needs something done during the work day (such as oil change, cable TV service, etc.) he asks his retired father to be his stand in. Dad is happy to help and he's got nothing but time so sitting at the dealership reading the paper is right up his alley. My first senior citizen is my father in law who has 30 acres of woods. My second senior citizen is a man who lives about 4 miles up the road and has 10 acres - he delivered this wood in three loads while I was at work and has more to come. They both love to cut wood, clean up their properties, and stay active, but neither one burns a stick.
I would highly recommend getting at least one of your own personal senior citizens if you're able.
