Before Christmas, I joined a group of guys from my church to cut and split wood for a friend. Her husband died of cancer a couple of years ago. She has family nearby but they need help once or twice a year to cut and split wood for her outdoor furnace. She runs a small food producing coop and uses the furnace to heat her greenhouses in the spring. I feel better about spending money on a log splitter (verticle in the background) when I can use it to help others.
