My first score worth sharing

[nsfd95]

Filling potholes at work yesterday when this guy with a covered trailer pulls up and asks if I know anyone that wants free firewood. So I ask what do you got? Expecting an answer of "A bunch of pine". But to my surprise he says oak go take a look. Now I'm expecting some four foot rounds, but to my surprise it's a load of oak and beech ranging from five inch rounds to fourteen inch rounds. So he follows me to house and dumps it. Then he says I've got another load at the job sight and I say no problem I'll take all you got. Here are some pics of the dump and my acre slice of heaven in the Hamptons!!

Nice! Especially for Eastern Long Island. I can't even imagine what that would cost delivered cut and split. Third picture looks like already seasoned wood - and plenty of it! That looks like a major score worthy of drooling over.

Awesome, thats the type of trailers we'd all like to see once in a while.

My first score worth sharing

Nice score, how much of it do you want to "share"?

Sorry about that, the third pic is this years supply. First two pics are the score... As far as price the going rate for a cord is $240-$300 dumped Extra $50 to stack within 10 to 15 feet from the truck. Knock on wood though this is my seventh season of burning and have not had to buy a stick of it. I added two more pics of the score an my seven year old daughters pic of tonights first burn of the season.

Like manna from heaven . . .

I love not having to pay for any of the wood I burn. I don't mind at all doing the work, but there's something about getting free wood that just fascinates me.

Beautiful - how much did it come out at? A cord?

Well, go fill some more "Potholes"
At that rate, you'll have 2012 wood done in a few weeks.

Maybe you hooked up with a contractor that will have more of the same in the future.
Right place/Right time

Very nice indeed! Nothing beats cut and delivered for free.
