Today is my birthday, but I received an early gift yesterday morning. My wife called me at work and said a guy from AEP was at the front door with a release to take down two dead ash trees at the corner of my property and City owned land. It's all wooded and the trees were leaning toward power poles. Both big trees. I asked to talk to the gentleman on the phone and he said they would take down the trees and I could have the firewood. He said, "if you have an indoor wood burner, I'll cut them to 18" for you". So, when I got home from work last night I about peed my pants seeing two trees cut down and all the wood cut to 18" and waiting for me to stack!! I guess I pay AEP enough, so it was time for them to put some money back in my pocket!
